Bouquets, Brick-bats, Claps, Stones, Praise...

*Drum-rolls, pa-pa-ra-pa-pa-pa, confetti, balloons, crackers, the works*

*Me clearing throat*


I hereby take this solemn opportunity to thank each one of you wonderful readers for taking the time out to come, read and leave your esteemed opinion on my silliness-personified-posts. It really means oh-so-very-much to me that here are people, known and unknown, offering me reassurance when I need it, and even better, just listening to me when I rant on and on. *sniff*

I started writing here merely (like everyone else) to make this my-rant-hole. But I didn't realize that there would be takers (not too many, but yet). I wouldn't be here continuing if it wasn't for each one of you. Just gonna mention a few:

1. My Beshtu friendsu: For all the love you guys have alwayz given me. And for reading my blogs whenever I tell you to. *sniff*

2. Dolly- You read ONLY when I beg you too, but yet, you ARE my sister and I do love you. *sniff*

3. Pp - You are the only one who checks my page veryyyy often even when I don't tell you to. Whether you like what I write or not, you still ask me why I haven't written if I haven't written in a while. Loveeeee you! *sniff*

4. Close buddy bloggers- Mayth (you belong in Category 1 too), Xh, Drenched, OK, Gradwolf, Uncle S, Busygurl, Keshi, Anna, Mustang: I may have not expressed it, we may constanly bicker over blogs and I may take sides with whoever is available just for the sake of a fight, but I still do love you. *sniff* (Incase you guys are having a stroke or heart-attack, do take care)

5. Not-so-close but yet buddy bloggers- You guys are super sweet to read my stuff. Love you all too. *sniff*

Now that I have reiterated that 'melodrama' is my second middle name (after
Happy), lemme give you the reason behind this *sniff* speech- This is my 50th post!!!!!

*Crazy tribal dance* Uhm, I know it doesn't go with the entire ball-gowned-Oscarish speech and all, but hell, I'm as happy as a...I don't know I'm just happy! I know it isn't anything at all. Not a figure to reckon with (I just noticed a few days back that OK had 192 blogs for 2007 alone) but this is my tiny lil figure of I-me-myself thoughts and I'm HAPPY! (I've said it too many times huh?)

Another thing all of you must have noticed is the NEW-look of my page. (If you haven't, please quit blogging) It has been 'released' today to commemmorate this auspicious occassion (Ahem!) and was given to me as a SURPRISE by XH, aka, Anoop!!! Ok, the sniffs are coming back again. He actually took a LOT of time and effort to make this for me, just because I had asked him a long while ago to help me out with my template. When I recently mentioned my upcoming 50th post, I guess my excitement was evident, and he put 2 and 2 together and decided to make it! I'm all like super-touched right now! Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx a million, billion, trillion, gazillion Anooooo!!!

The End
P.S: I had to edit the names on the Best Friends cuz you guyz know who you are, and all of you are worth a million bucks. Just incaseeee I leave anyone out!

I myself hate facebook. God knows why ppl find it so great. and those applications make me go argh!

Anonymous said...

heres me "reciprocating"
thank you for making the blogosphere a slightly better read than it was b4 i came across this page. You write honestly and every post has a genuine element and also the "family" element to it. thats probably something that would come to you naturally and i could guess from it all that you are a wonderful person with wonderful people as a part of your life. The whole happy-happy and happiness- write ups kinda get to me and i always smile while reading them.
So cheers to you
keep writing

respectfully yours
Mustang

ps. yes, i've read every post of your, from beginning to the end leaving a few.

Preeti said...

@mez: ME TOO! I suck at all those face book applications!

@Mustang: I am nominating this comment of urs for The Best Comment I've Ever Received award and trust me, u win hands down...That is the SWEETEST thing ANYONE has said about my blogs...I alwayz thought people say it cuz they juz dont wanna disappoint me but coming from u, someone whom I know only thru the blogging world, this means more than ul ever know. I'm not including any of my melodramatic sniffs here, cuz I'm dead serious this time. It really, really means a lot and I really, really am touched. Uv just made my entire blogging experience worth it and I'm glad i could aid making ur reading experience, if only slightly, better. Thanks dude!

P.S: I can't belive uv actually read 'em all. Thanks sooo much...Thanks.

I don't why, my dear Preet
I feel compelled to speak in rhyme
Perhaps it's that you are so sweet
Or perhaps I've too much time

I take umbrage, of course, at being
Called uncle by an upstart brat
But your vivacity is so refreshing
That I think I'll just doff my hat
To you

God bless!

I don't know why, my dear Preet
I feel compelled to speak in rhyme
Perhaps it's that you are so sweet
Or, perhaps, I've too much time

I take umbrage, of course, at being
Called uncle by an upstart brat
But your vivacity's refreshing
I think that I'll just doff my hat
To you

God bless!
