I would like to inform that this happens to be the 400th post of mine. It took me 7 long years to reach this number. When I started blogging I never envisaged that I would be blogging for so long. But little did I know that I would write 400 blog posts. This is too big a number and I have a list of people to thank who supported me and guided me in this path. Blogging has been a passion for me and I would definitely want to add that life would have been different if it wasn’t blogging or bloggers. Ideas used to stroll in my mind, its these ideas which embrace me and I painted those ideas to decorate my blog with the so called blog posts. It has been a learning experience and every thing counts. I have come across bloggers who brag about their number of posts. I would like to be a silent blogger and there is a reason why I am writing this post. This makes me feel good and I am highly exhilarated as I type this message to thank each one of you. During these seven years, I have learnt many things, extracted many things from senior bloggers. I have derived inspiration from blogger friends as its a learning process. To add to this , I have made and met many beautiful and amazingly wonderful souls who have always been supportive!
I start by thanking almighty God for providing me the time, energy and ideas to write these posts.
