But there is a reason. It has been one year since I have been perpetuating and unleashing unheard amounts of mediocrity upon you all. Cat's Cradle, Spunky Monkey, venivididormi turn one today. (How cool is it that they all share their birthday huh!)
So yay!
The blog has been like a support system in its own way. Every time somebody jeered at me, or said something rude, I'd say to myself, "Say all you want, I will go back to my place where there are people that actually like me". You all. Thanks for making me feel happy about myself. I know all this sounds like a beauty pageant winner speech, but this will probably the most I will achieve anyway. Especially since that book deal hasn't come my way yet. Dang, what must one do to get one. Get a life, and have lots of sex, and write about it, you say. But should it be that hard?
Anyway.
The blog has given me very good friends and most of them don't think I am obnoxious. So, that's lovely. The blog has made me respect writers a hundred times more (Chetan Bhagat is not one). It has made me realize that I write crap, and that there is so much to learn from so much brilliant, understated, clear, concise and beautiful writing there is in the blogworld. So until we get there, we will call this exercise typing.
AND, haven't you been reading the blog? This is a notification post; the latest one remains this. Go read.
So blog, today you can walk a few steps independently, transfer a toy to the examiner and say 2-3 words with meaning. You are one!
Thanks for everything.

Happy Birthday Blog.
And you too, spunky.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
You sound like Spunky Monkey
And you write like one too!:)
This was inspired by your possum poems:) I must say that its been a good one year at cat's cradle. If you should make a birthday resolution, I'd say keep entertaining!!:)
Oho, happy 1st birthday. Take the blog out on town today. Buy it food and other nice things. Buy some for yourself too. Look before you leap. Think before you ink.
"Get a life, and have lots of sex, and write about it, you say. But should it be that hard?"
I guess you must mean the writing, when you say hard.
[ziah] That poem was in 'Dunston checks in.' He he...
Congraaats!!!! on completing a successful one year...
Happy birthday too all the buddies...cat, monkey, veni.....
And yeah, you said it right...this sure is a place to have some good friends.
Hope you keep your blogging as entertaining and as regular.
happy birthday, piscean spunky monkey, cat's cradle, venivididormi.... lots of animals there!
how come we don't get lame references to fish? guess you aren't the zodiacReference-types.
>>How cool is it that they all share their birthday huh!
yeah... just like JKR, Harry Potter and Dan Radcliffe share the same bday :D
>>"Say all you want, I will go back to my place where there are people that actually like me"
No, no... that's not what beauty pageant winners say. that's what south bangalorean bloggers like you and me say, unabashed.
>>It has made me realize that I write crap
I don't quite agree there. If anything, you write less crap than most other bloggers.
and hurray! i met another chetan bhagat hater today.
I love your blog! I think its one of the best there is. Please please keep blogging. You rock!!
Belated wishes.
Where party?
Happy Birthday, all 3 of you.

Dr Monkey,
Belated birthday wishes... been a while that I was able to catch up on your blogging as I was shifting base from the dreaded city Chennai to the 'Oh you aliens are not welcome' city, Mumbai...
Congrats on passing the Dakaatru exams and landing a job at the radio station...

Stumbled upon your blog. While procrastinating. Got arrested by your writing. Loved the rants and the bad puns and the South Indianism. And the Kannadiganees. I usually hate, detest, abhor long posts but I almost didn't want the dissing of medicine post to end. Maybe its because I do not want to get cracking on the books for an impending, looming, horrible horrible horrible exam or I just love your writing style.
Whatever!
Good stuff. :)
O an belated happy birthday!
TRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAT!!!
Huttu habbada shubhaashaygaLu.

All said and done, I am terribly blogged out. There are stories happening around me even as I speak. But the inclination to type them out is leaving me slowly but surely. Not a writer's block, for you need to be one to have the block. Besides, I am forever telling me things in the head. May be I am done with blogs. I don't know.
Till the next time I see you all, have fun.
we are not supposed to say anything here? :(
hey...do get out of that inertia ...where's that spunk gone?!!!!!!

Why, have you disabled the comments section?

Okay, so I stumbled upon your blog a bit late. And almost had a panic attack when I saw comments were disabled. Still. Power of observation or some such and consequently I'm commenting off. Plizk we need new post.
