Aparna’s Blog

I did a mistake by writing here about me being called aunty by a kid. When I saw the Search Engine terms for my blog in the Blog Stats, I saw the term ‘aparna aunty’ and when I did a Google search, my blog was the first result for that.

Talking about blog stats, the hits for my blog has crossed 50K and it’s now 51,586. Thank you all!  
And here are the all time top 7 search terms for my blog.

• aparna

• jodha akbar dvd cover

Thank you, Rahman!

The past couple of weeks, I have been so busy that I didn’t get time to either write blog posts or read blogs even though I did read a few posts once in a while (& saw the number of unread posts increasing with each passing day). When I logged into Google Reader today, I saw that the number of unread posts were 588 and some of those posts were written more than a month ago! Out of this, some 40 would have been comments. Apart from those, I would have marked only some 15 posts as read without really reading those. Guess what the number of unread posts is now? Just 100! Yay! I will hopefully read the remaining those tomorrow and resume blogging soon. Unlike earlier, I am now missing regular blogging. I hope I am able to find good topics to blog about.

And here I was, all these days, thinking that I cannot be without the internet, without blogs or checking mails regularly! How wrong I was! Though I didn’t plan on taking a break of any sort, I eventually ended up taking something like a break during the past few weeks. There were only very few blog posts that I read and I didn’t even check my mails for days together. Till now, whenever I have not blogged regularly, there was some specific reason for it. But this is the first time when I didn’t blog for no reason at all. I spent all my free time reading books or doing absolutely nothing worthwhile and I am happy to say that never once did I miss the internet. But what with so many blog posts waiting to be written and read, it’s now time for me to come out of this supposed break….

I came across this tag in SK’s blog. For a change, a tag that had questions that interested me. Here goes the tag.

Q1. Are you happy/satisfied with your blog, with its content and look?
Yes about the look part of it. I like the theme of my blog so much that I don’t have the heart to part with it and give my blog a new look. As for the content, well, I wish I had more time so that I can write much better and write more.

Q2. Does your family know about your blog?
Yes.

Q3. Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
Nope. My blog has only the things that I discuss with friends. Besides, all my close friends already know about my passion for Carnatic, Rahman’s music and Mani Ratnam’s movies, which are the primary contents of my blog. But still, I wouldn’t tell everyone about my blog.

I am stepping onto the second year of blogging today. At the end of one year of blogging, I am happy that I started blogging. Since this blog has become an important part of me in the past one year, there is no way I am going to settle for a short post now. Here’s looking back at the first year of my blog.

Is there anyway in which a deleted spam comment can be recovered? I accidentally deleted a comment that was not spam but was marked spam.
