It's been quite a while
One year in fact. One year of publishing insane drivel online. One year of indiscriminate writing. One year of irresponsible, yet, at times, highly entertaining prose, as well as some very odd and mind-bogglingly dull poetry. One year, in short, of doing what I do best. Act like an ass.
It's been a fun year, nevertheless. I've written about people and things I wouldn't dare talk about otherwise. Lots of people and things have, as a result, taken offence to what I have written over the past year. To them, I would like to apologize, not so much to the people as to the things, for people are dispensable, and there doesn't seem to be too much of a shortage around.
The blog's done well for itself. It has been quoted extensively and at the most unfortunate times and places. It's gotten me into trouble. Lots of it. And on more than one occasion. It's seen a lot of traffic; 200 visitors on some days, and 20 on most others. In all fairness to it, it has fulfilled most of the purposes it was set up for, and a good deal more for which it wasn't. What's most important is that it has, for the past year, constantly been there. It's been with me through the good times and, more importantly, the slightly longer bad ones. It hasn't run away like most of the people I know tend to, after a while.
I know it hasn't been in very good shape lately, what with all the one-line posts and fake poetry, but I do believe that it'll stick around for a little bit more.
For now, that's good enough for me.

Ménk, I wasn't on a sabbatical from life. I was merely on a sabbatical from documenting life.
TT, you're one of the few people, if not the only one, who have followed the progress of this blog since its very beginning. Thanks a lot for bearing with me and my blog for a year. Do keep commenting.
Neel, thanks.
Mani, thanks. As long as you promise to keep the comments slightly sane, I shall try not to get bugged.
