100th Post !!!

Two and half years back I tentatively put up my first post and since then there has been no looking back; after boring you to near-death, tickling your funny bone and writing some posts that make you want to kick yourself as to why you spent the last 10-15 minutes of your life reading it, I have achieved something of a milestone today; I post my 100th article today and as I type it I am on cloud nine.

This just happened, I never really though I would achieve this milestone, what with my temperamental and impulsive nature, this blog has been through a lot, being deleted once, reinstated with invitation reading, back to free-viewing for all, me going through writers block, making some friends, losing some of them, this blog has remained constant through it all and has been an outlet for me to be me!!!

I really wanted to write some thing funny as my 100th post but am really feeling far too emotional just now to wisecrack. I want to thank all my readers (people who read and comment), stalkers (people who read but won't comment, just kidding), friends who egged me on to write (honorable mentions, Poonam-who put the bee in the bonnet while we were still in college with the comment "You have a fabulous vocabulary and command over language, you really should take up journalism or something", thanks Poonam- you are a star!!! and Vin, though we have lost touch over the years, the sole reason you see me here is Vin, if she had not bulldozed me into creating a blog, all these words and posts would have remained in me and gone into the afterlife unspoken and unsaid), my family who are my best critics, if I can get a crack of a smile from my Mum (she is quite like Jeeves, when it comes to showing emotion while reading my posts) I know the post is a cracker and will be appreciated and last but not the least my sister, my partner in crime and inspiration for most of my post, what with her ready wit and zingy one liners, I don't need to go far for fodder for posts.

I leave you with this stanza from my favourite poem...

The woods are lovely dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep...

And miles to go before I sleep...

And miles to go before I sleep...

Thank You!!!
