This is my 100th post and I don’t know what to write.
I want it to be monumental. I want it to be different. I want it to be something I can come back to read after writing another 99 posts. I don’t trust myself to write something that good.
So I asked a few blogger friends to write down their perception of me and my blog. They were really sweet and inspite of their very busy schedules (what with Diwali close) they actually took out time and wrote a few words.
Here, I share it with you:
Phatichar: Pinku, one who leads the enchanted life. When I first started speaking to her a few months back, she seemed guarded. But that is only natural in this online world, isn’t it? Gradually that guard was dropped and pretty soon we got along like wild fire, common interests fuelling our conversations everyday – books, movies, food and a whole lot more. And then I went back and read all her posts. And after reading that, from a good online friend, she instantly transformed into a figure to respect. It was not just the writing; that is awesome anyways. But it was something after reading which, I felt …well, for want of better words, inadequate, in front of her. There’s much to learn about life from her. She has come a long way, and deserves every bit of happiness life has to offer her. Her guardian angel is doing a fine job I must say. Won’t want to lose your friendship, girl. You rock!
Stygian Sailor: Pinku-dom and the Republic of the Stygian Sailor are probably the opposite poles of Blogville. Optimism and peace are the national languages of Pinku-dom in stark contrast to cynicism and sarcasm which reign in the Sailor’s republic. So what’s the connection? Opposite poles attract. The amazing optimism portrayed in Pinku’s posts draw the Sailor to Pinku-dom. Having a million ideas is some thing, but having staunch faith in those ideas and pursuing them takes a lot more character. It is hard to come by these days. It isn’t every day that one leads an enchanted life.
Cheers to the hundred posts.
Mampi: My blogger mate Priyanka aka Pinku is a person who I can safely call genuine without having to eat my words later on with a lot of pickle and sauce. She is one of the few blogger mates that i have met in person and it was a pleasure meeting her. Her tolerance for my son, who was at his impossible best that day, will always go down in history in golden words. I have always liked to share a giggle or two the moment I come back from work because we are die-hard chatters. We share fun, sorrow, bickerings about work, and counting our blessings during these sessions.
Her creativity is inspiring. Her blog reflects an honest soul who is no super-heroine but who has her own take on all the issues facing a common person living in India. May her creed prosper !
Hemanth: I might not have known her for all that long but, in the few years that I have known her; she has been a great friend. It was her blog that started me off blogging and it was her support and encouragement that kept me going all this while. Thanks, for being there during all those time that I really needed you. Wish you, all the best and good luck!
Thank you so much guys for sparing time for me!!! I hope we remain friends forever.
If any of you would be kind enough to add a few words I will be really very grateful.

It's your clarity of thought and your staunch resistance to ambivalence towards issues of grave importance that have drawn me here repeatedly. You inspire without being preachy. You're a difference maker and i hope you continue your good work.
