Ever since those heartbreaking days,
Ever since we parted ways,
I have been smiling.
Ever since you left,
Ever since my heart was bereft,
I have been happy.
Ever since you blocked me,
Ever since friends talked it out of me,
I have a life.
And not to my surprise,
You say the same baby.
Today I kiss you on your stubble and whisper in your ear,
“There are no two liars bigger than you and me”…

Amidst the cacophony and hullaballoo of life, I missed celebrating my blog’s birthday which was on September 17th. Anyway, better late than never!
So finally the blog is one year old! It has been an amazing, enlightening and fun journey. I had been writing since many many years but hadn’t gotten around to blogging. Finally created a blog to beat boredom at office 
and guess why I chose WordPress? Coz blogspot was blocked in office! :lol: (but I’m glad coz WP is so much better).
Although I started blogging on September 17th 2008, I posted sporadically until April’09. And then I did that NaBloPoMo thingy in May, which set the ball rolling and got me many readers. And I sooo love you all! I found great friends here. Recently I realized that even a blog can make you meet some really wonderful people (met Abhishek and Hitchy).
Over this one year, I have gone from bland uninteresting posts with comments in single digits to (I think ) somewhat better posts with many many lovely comments. Through the blog, I have rediscovered my love and penchant for poetry as well.
Some stats and milestones:

)

May 30, 2009 – Post chosen in BlogAdda’s Spicy Saturday Picks.
But nothing can beat the love and encouragement I found from new friends here!
So 87 posts up, I feel great that I did this and interacted with you all. Hope to keep writing and commenting on your blogs a whole lot more!
Pitter patter goes the rain,
Here to wash away the pain.
The sound of rain is serene,
I’m sure outside it’s a marvelous scene.
But I’d rather stay in bed,
For the rain reminds me,
Of your hands.
Gentle yet strong.

We started celebrating this festival around 7-8 years ago. Ever since, I eagerly wait for it every year, and I love every bit of the time Ganesha is at our home. I look at Ganesha as a friend. A guide. Someone who brings peace, serenity and happiness to ours, and every home. Most of the times, I don’t even feel like asking Him for anything. Just His presence is joy enough.
Dad says that its Ganesha who helped him write his books. He started writing his first book during the days of our first Ganpati.
We all adore our cute God a lot 
Here are some pics from today:
(the modak is for Hitchy, btw )
Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Samaprabha,
Nirvighnam Kurumeydeva Sarva Karyeshu Sarvada…
“O Lord Ganesha of the Curved Trunk, Large Body, With the Brilliance of a Million Suns,
Free all my work of obstacles, Always.”
Wishing you all a very Happy Ganesh Utsav. Ganesh ji arrived home today.
Our Ganesha
As I type this, I’m listening to Om Gan Ganpataye Namo Namah in Suresh Wadkar’s voice, aroma of incense all around me. We all just performed the evening aarti. I can’t even begin to describe the calm and tranquility I am feeling. The moment Ganesha steps into the house, happiness steps in. It’s unbelievable.
Love you Ganesha! :-)
