I had been keeping an eye on the numbers.... I know, women always keep an eye on the number of the weighing machine and the waist size of their jeans.... for I, like all my blogger pals here, was keeping an eye on the number of articles I have posted in my blog since its beginning ( ie., in 21 June 2010).

| My little son scribbled this for me on my birhtday card! |
Yesterday, I've completed my 100th post, feels good. But, I feel even better, as I've tried all this time to write something meaningful... something of use to those many people searching for information on Internet. I know that at least half of what I've written is/will be useful to some people. (Of course, I write small little things wich are making me sad or happy or anything, at times!) I can say that with conviction because, I keep checking the search words used to find my blog on Internet.
Initially, I was surprised to read the search words, but later, it gave me all the more reason to write with responsibility. It has inspired me to write the content which can be referred in case of need, although I'm way behind my goal, but I'll still try. Just have a look at the search words used in last 8 months for which I had been writing :
my teacher hit me
my perception of world
what is a good girl ?
teacher punish me
child punishment
lonely life
a good girl is
home made remedy for black hair
what to do teacher hit me
my perception of marriage
lonely
These are to name a few... I've only brought out the relevant one's. Although, there had been a lot of search for other things too.
Evidently, my posts on corporal punishment, marriage, live ins, changing perceptions of relationships, gender etc was being read and I'm glad for that.
Also, coincidentally, there is another number on my blog which has reached to a 100!!! It is the wonderful blogger pals (followers) list.
Anyways, coming back to blogging, I can only say that blogging has given an outlet to my thoughts and my expressions, and I'm deeply indebted to this blog world who accepted me, read my posts, wrote back, agreed/disagreed with me, gave their opinions and feedback to me, thereby giving a lot of their time and energy to me. Thanks a ton!
Hope to spend more such creative time with you all!
