Many Happy Returns Of The Day!
It was this day, last year, that Shatanand's relentless prodding had been successful in making me open my mind out on blogspot. However, today I am not celebrating the fact that this blog is one year old. I am celebrating all of you, my wonderful friends, readers and blogmates who considered it worth your while to visit my space. I have been fortunate enough to have a handful of great friends, online as well as offline. This one goes out to all of you.
All of us have been walking on our own paths. The paths sometimes intersected with or ran parallel to each other, and sometimes diverged from or opposed each other. Some of us have been voracious lone wolfs, while some have been humble sheep. All this is simply natural, based on each individual's convictions. I respect all of you. Therefore, I am celebrating all of you.
On my journey, I have had some very favourable times and some not-so-favourable times; had people joining me and people leaving me; been blessed with encouragement and cursed with discouragement; been nourished by love and impoverished by apathy...
Despite that I am glad that I have not worn masks, and that my convictions have not staggered. I continue today on the same exotic journey, which I started on years ago. And I shall continue on the same path to the finishing line.
Dear friends, it does not matter whether you walk a parallel path or a divergent one; it does not matter whether you stick to a single path or try several. On this occasion I wish all the very best for all of you, and hope that you will all make it to the finishing line as soon as you can.
Please do stop to smell those beautiful flowers on your way... :)
Hi Pradeep,

And i am doubly sure i am always the first person who reads ur posts :)

Heyyyyy Shatanand! :)
ReplyDeleteFINALLY is right! About time too, bro.
Indeed, you are always the first to read my posts. You have read a few of them even before they became posts here.
In fact, I believe you know your way through the Chasm as well as I do; people might do better consulting you than hitting that search button up there. :))
Whether or not it was the ONLY factor, it is true that I would not have done so without your prodding. I had been quite happy writing out stuff on paper or storing it in my hard disk. You made me go against my lazy nature, and made me create a blog, a profile, and so on. See how far it has come now. :)
Thank you. I guess I know who told you to hug me. :D
Dear Passerby,
Thanx and hugggs.
Congratulations to you too. You are welcome to walk further with me if you so choose. :)
The refridgerator is over there. Help yourself to anything you please. Amu is in charge of pastries; so take a big helping from her.
Dear Ashley,
Thanks a bunch!
Everytime you stop to smell them, you gain a lot more than just the sweetness of the smell. :)
Okay now join the celebrations. There's the fridge with the goodies, and there's Amu with the pastries. Help yourself, Ashley. :)
Dear Velu,
Welcome to the Endless Chasm. You are a very special guest, because you come at a very special time.
Meet some other wonderful people from my comments and sidebar.
Join the celebrations! Look around, have fun.
Keep visiting. :)
Cheers!
Dear Queen Bee,
Busy bee, busy bee, how busy can you be? :) Hasn't it been a long time? Where have you been?
Celebration time! Raid the refridgerator and help yourself to whatever you like. :)
Amu's right over there, that gal with that LOVELY BIG smile, helping people with pastries. Take a big helping from her.
A difference in Pradeep? Hmmm...
You make me ponder about that.
Cheers!
Amuuuuuuuu... :)
Hugggggggggggzzz!
Celebration time! Shall we dance, Amu? lol :))
Dear Keshi,
