My 100th Post

I still remember having stumbled upon Farah’s blog on her 100th post. That was the day I started my anonymous blogging and hers was the first blog I had visited. Being a Gemini I never knew that I would be reaching the figure one day myself. I started from a point when I used to think what to write about, to today, when I write almost every day before I sleep. I always wanted to achieve that and this being my 100th one, gives me a chance to look back and analyze myself as a blogger and it certainly seems to have happened that way. I always wondered as to how blogging has become famous. I was never comfy with the idea of having life posted online. Still, I started and soon enough, I understood that it was a mistake for me. But then, I thought about being anonymous and it made sense since all that matters is what I wanted to write. Many might agree or disagree to mine doing that but it is the only way I can be my own self and be true to my words and to my readers. Can’t help…I was coded that way……….

After a few posts, comments seemed to matter a lot. Thankfully, after a few posts, that didn’t continue to hold true. I agree that I always feel good when I have a new follower or a comment, but, usually while posting, unlike this one, wherein I am trying to speak to you all, I always prefer going the personal diary way. But not to forget the fact that sometimes, I get comments which have really helped me in understanding things in a better light. Those have been priceless….nothing good comes free these days they say…I would like to add an exception. Bloggers are awesome.

Today, blogging, for me, isn’t only about me. It is also about my readers or the ones I follow. At times when I am free, which I happen to be everyday at some point of time, my curiosity and bonding takes me to your posts and when I am done reading, I feel complete and in sync with my world. I am thankful to all of you for making me a part of your world, your posts…....i certainly look forward to them everyday..…it feels nice in a unique way…….to know you all…….over distance, time zones and cultures…….it makes me feel alive and connected.
Lastly, I thought many a things to make this post special, but as had been pointed out by some, writing about how blogging has changed me and my life was the option which felt worth it, not to forget the fact that I am not at all innovative and someone with ideas.

To say frankly, I am feeling very happy………….I guess I should stop here and cherish it for some time. :)
