Birthday Blogging

Yep, you guessed it. Today is my blog’s first birthday. Yes, it's been 365 days since I started chronicling things down in this blog. I still have a vivid image of me writing my first post on this blog stuck in my mind. I was seated in front of the computer, recovering from the loss of my old blog, which was hacked into and deleted by someone.

Note : I know today is 29th December, Tuesday.  There's something wrong with the date that appears on top of each post. I shall correct it ASAP.

I think I’ll change the layout of the blog as a birthday present. I’ve tried this many times, but it never really worked out. Perhaps things will be better because today is special.

So, anyway, I’m in Ottappalam now, a town in Kerala, visiting my grandparents. Wait, did I say town? I beg your pardon. It’s an economic powerhouse! Yeah, the metropolis! The heart of the place – the most happening part of Ottappalam is Choice Hypermarket. I don’t know where they got the word ‘hypermarket’ from, but it’s more or less a supermarket… Yeah, Choice Hypermarket : Downtown Ottappalam.

But well, it is a very quite and serene place. A sleepy town.

I had fun reaching my grandparent’s house… We entered majestically in an ambulance. An ambulance! Lol the driver works part time at a hospital driving ambulances and since he had to drop a doctor somewhere and the house was on the way, he decided to take us in one.

I left my camera at home!!!!= :’( So I couldn’t take photos of the vehicle’s interior. But it was great just the same. My sister was either very thrilled or very depressed. Travelling in the ambulance probably made us reach home faster – we were able to dodge traffic. Bwahaha, who am I trying to kid? Traffic?! In Ottappalam? I don’t think so. There’s hardly a car on the road during the rush hour. So you can imagine what it was like when we hit the road – before five in the morning.


Before I sign off, I’ll say it once again : Happy Birthday, Blog! Wait, I didn’t really say it that way before, did I? Nah, forget it.
My heartfelt thanks to all those who’ve commented on this blog and motivated me *wipes tears*. Bah. I don’t want to make it sound all soppy like a Vote Of Thanks.
Anyway : Hope my blog has a smashing year ahead. Hope I become a more regular blogger, like some people I can mention.

Sayonara!

So we were at Ottapalam day before yesterday. Weird, eh?

Happy birthday, Raman's blog!

P.S. Love that picture you've got up there:)

Raman said...

Hehe. "Thank you," says the blog.
Yeah, I like the picture, but I'm starting to hate this template! I tried to get it changed but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Happy Birthday, Raman's blog! I am happy I am an *ahem* inspiration to you and your owner.
What I am NOT happy about is that your blog is 32 days older than my present one. It makes me feel like the younger, less experienced blogger. :P

Raman said...

Haha. :D Don't let it trouble you. :D And thanks! Did you see the previous post?
