Blog-O-Mine.

I've always been a very private person, except with the people who are near and dear to me. But since I created this blog, I've become more open about my views. I receive the greatest satisfaction when I read the comments. It's wonderful to know that people not only visit your blog, read your posts, have thought about what you have written and have taken out time to acquaint you with their ideas and opinions. It gives me great pleasure and I look forward to comments from people everytime I pen something down.

On my way back from work today, I was thinking....what if you were to market/promote your blog? What punchline woud you have? What woud be your USP?. Marketing has neva been my cuppa chai. I am one of those who wudn't know how to sell a heater to an Eskimo!! My recommendations can get anyone to be suspectible! For eg. If I were to say, "If you like reading, then visit my blog, and if you like what you read, keep reading". I am afraid, it mite sound like, "My blog's great, you need to visit once to believe it.". Huh! Just not me. Sounds so flattery!

This blog has become personal to me. I feel a sense of ownership. I am possessive about it and cherish it with all my other cherished possessions. I feel like a plant without being watered, when I dn't post anything on it for days. I wud neva want my this little plant to eva fade away. I aim to nuture it and make it a tree, with people who comment as my strong branches. Tho' I am not in the best of health these days, my energy wud neva fail me....

>It's wonderful to know that people not only visit your blog, read your posts, have thought about what you have written and have taken out time to acquaint you with their ideas and opinions.

Left without options other then writing here or email.. right?

>what if you were to market/promote your blog?
Quality stuff doesn't need self marketing efforts...It may take long time... but evolves as the winner:-)

>how to sell a heater to an Eskimo!!
Jus curious why would eskimos need heater ? There is no electricity in IGLOO :-) Niether Sun to generate solar electricity... Nor Windmill stations (can't be located on ice) or turbines either(only if they could run on ice and no water)...

Only if the heat was produced in the heater using gasoline product which could regnerate itself from burning similar like properties derived from wax... It would certainly be a first choice... And doesn't need any marketing :-)
Can you hire me ?

>Sounds so flattery!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

>This blog has become personal to me.
It has become personal to me too
Explained using theory of relativity. If I love my professor and my professor loves his daughter therefore I love his daughter...

> I aim to nuture it and make it a tree, with people who comment as my strong branches.
Good One. All my Best wishes for the same :-)

Same pinch Niks!!
You know wht...now when my college mates drop by on ma blog...the very first thing they say is...

I still dont speak up with people aroudn me...only one or two, whom I consider close pals..


This blog has become personal to me. I feel a sense of ownership. I am possessive about it and cherish it with all my other cherished possessions.
Im 24hrs online on ma cell..at night before going to sleep I read ma own post and wonder if I cud write something like that. Blogging gave me confidence that people will surely accept me...and I can write too...

Tho' I am not in the best of health these days, my energy wud neva fail me....
Oh boy!!

Hope the weekend brings you back to 100%

LOL!!You are funny! Tht was considering tht Igloos of today have all basic and modern amenities in them!

Only if the heat was produced in the heater using gasoline product which could regnerate itself from burning similar like properties derived from wax...

:-O *amazed look*

If I love my professor and my professor loves his daughter therefore I love his daughter...

It's like saying.. You love your wife and she loves her mother and so therefore you'd love your MIL, too, correct? He!He! But I have still neva understood..y do u men fear their MIL's??

All my Best wishes for the same :-)

I like reading ur blog niki…

Tht was a morale booster! I too like reading your blog and promise to actively start commenting on it!

I feel my view is totally different and may be u wont agree with it…

You do not have to ONLY comment when you agree with me. We are 2 different individuals, and with different mindsets. You can pen down all that you have to say. Irrespective of whether it's in sync with what I feel. I'd respect your thoughts/ideas/suggestions just like the others.

Have been reading all ur post from Day one since u started to blog.

Yup. U've been my "only" audience during those days. And I appreciate the fact that you give so much time reading my posts.

keep up the good work n keep posting.

I heard "GOOD".!! Ah! Tht sounds so goooood :D

I am always game for hearing / reading appreciation (only good, mind you) on my writing skills. If you come up with something more, you can write that down too!

I am glad you've progressed from being the shy and reserved to being so friendly and BIZARRE!

I read ma own post and wonder if I cud write something like that.

Do you laff on your own blog posts? We do. It makes us smile.

Blogging gave me confidence that people will surely accept me...and I can write too...

People on your blog actually worship you for your sense of humour. I, for one, am completely in awe of the way you write.

Now what happend lady??

Just the normal symptoms tht come in along with the change in the weather. And work's been hectic too. It's slowed down and I am being able to take some time off.

Hope the weekend brings you back to 100%

Thnkx. I dn't suffer from Monday morning blues anymore. Thankx to you and your bizarrrness. Your posts make me smile. Even when I am down and feeling low..all i do is read your posts (if you've posted any new) or the older ones and...LO..I forget all my worries! :D

You take care and have a nice weekend.

I guess you really got confused with someone else...I do not even have your co-ordinates :-(

>Thnks and keep droppin by. :-)
Sorry, You may Thank the right person ..I am not the one you addressed or you meant it...

>Awwww. Tht was cho sweet of you. >*pulling my collars up*

You are a sweet person. Thanks for spreading the sweetness in air.

>Jus curious why would eskimos need >heater ? There is no electricity in >IGLOO :-)
>LOL!!You are funny!

I know that. Everyone tells me..I am sure my kids will love me..

>Tht was considering tht Igloos of >today have all basic and modern >amenities in them!

I gave some more thought to your idea of selling..How abt giving in-build internet connectivity in IGLOO's thru satellite.. TV signal can be lost during storm but wireless transmission due to tcp connection wouldn't fail to transmit data...What do ya think?

>could regnerate itself from burning >similar like properties derived >from wax...
>:-O *amazed look*

Trust me there will be something like that coming very soon. Becoz the fuel will get over and need some alternative way to generate it..

>It's like saying.. You love your >wife and she loves her mother and >so therefore you'd love your MIL, >too, correct? He!He!

From my experience I am not married so I dunno but I believe in what you are saying.. Like my Sister's hubby also has similar kinda views...We both are like frd's so we share almost all talks..

>But I have still neva understood..y do u men fear their MIL's??

You will be the very first person to know if I experience. :-)


Take care,
