Thank you – A 75,000 times!!!

The drive to write

Coupled with thirst for words

Wavering mind

Flowing thoughts

Slowly, obsession to observe followed

Desire to express in words reigned

Eventually, pondered for my flair

What followed was pretty fair

Some crazy

Some messy

Plethora of poetry

Few crafty

And a few story

Thus my baby blog was born

Now taking valiant yet tiny steps

Towards winning hearts

Towards making me proud

She is 245 days old today

And she has gathered 75,000 page views

So… here I am to say

THANK YOU – A 75,000 TIMES!!!!

Yay!!! Its platinum jubilee celebration time… I am so happy. Celebration time always tickles me. I giggle like a teenager and dream of dancing like a peacock.

I wish to jump up and reach out to the sky. I never thought I could write regularly. My baby blog taught me to observe, think and capture. It made me think differently and write habitually.

The blog made me explore into a new foray – Haiku. Thanks to a blog friend, Valli. Her blogs introduced me to the World of Haiku. Initially, I didn’t understand the concept. I erred. Then, like a little tot, I learnt from my mistakes.

I have to thank my little brother, Vijay. He used to ruthlessly slaughter me whenever I commit spelling mistakes callously. His criticism would scare me. So I used to read and re-read my blog posts ensuring spelling mistakes are minimal, if not eliminated in total.

There was a time when I used to keep my fingers crossed expecting “Locomente” to appear in Google search. Now, my blog is ranked among the best Indian blogs of the year 2011-2012.

The growth has been phenomenal and I feel like a proud parent. A child is not only influenced by its parents but by its surroundings also. So, I am here to thank my stars – my readers.

Oops! But, I don’t know how to thank my patient and encouraging readers. A “thank you” would be too formal and too minimal. They are helping me to grow. They are supporting me and making me write more.

So here I vow to write more…

More regularly

Hopefully interestingly

And now the Locomente wishes to say…

Thank you – a 75,000 times!!!
