Aparna’s Blog

With this comment, the total no. of comments in my blog has now reached 5000! 5000 comments for 466 posts. Of course, it includes my replies to comments as well as ping backs to posts. But, anyway, this calls for a celebration Thank you, my dear readers!

• Heard that Yaavarum Nalam is really good. I want to watch it. It isn’t often that Madhavan’s movies turn out to be good! The picturization, cinematography and the music too seemed to be nice for two songs a few seconds of which I saw. Have to see how the full song is.

2 years it has been since I started blogging. Thanks a ton to each and every one of you for making this happen!

The past few days have been quite busy ones and it was only today that I checked my blog stats after quite a few days and guess what the blog hits was? 1,00,681! Thank you my dear readers! Btw, my old blog hits is also slowly but steadily, marching towards 1,00,000 (It’s now 91,256). After all, that blog is the one that gets displayed right on the first page when you do a Google search for ‘Alaipayuthey’. I saw that only today and I can’t tell you how happy I am. I don’t really know whether I am more happy about the one lakh hits or about this.

I did a mistake by writing here about me being called aunty by a kid. When I saw the Search Engine terms for my blog in the Blog Stats, I saw the term ‘aparna aunty’ and when I did a Google search, my blog was the first result for that.

Talking about blog stats, the hits for my blog has crossed 50K and it’s now 51,586. Thank you all!  
And here are the all time top 7 search terms for my blog.

Thank you, Rahman!

The past couple of weeks, I have been so busy that I didn’t get time to either write blog posts or read blogs even though I did read a few posts once in a while (& saw the number of unread posts increasing with each passing day). When I logged into Google Reader today, I saw that the number of unread posts were 588 and some of those posts were written more than a month ago! Out of this, some 40 would have been comments. Apart from those, I would have marked only some 15 posts as read without really reading those. Guess what the number of unread posts is now? Just 100! Yay! I will hopefully read the remaining those tomorrow and resume blogging soon. Unlike earlier, I am now missing regular blogging. I hope I am able to find good topics to blog about.

And here I was, all these days, thinking that I cannot be without the internet, without blogs or checking mails regularly! How wrong I was! Though I didn’t plan on taking a break of any sort, I eventually ended up taking something like a break during the past few weeks. There were only very few blog posts that I read and I didn’t even check my mails for days together. Till now, whenever I have not blogged regularly, there was some specific reason for it. But this is the first time when I didn’t blog for no reason at all. I spent all my free time reading books or doing absolutely nothing worthwhile and I am happy to say that never once did I miss the internet. But what with so many blog posts waiting to be written and read, it’s now time for me to come out of this supposed break….
