My 200th Post

This is my 200th post. Long over due. I started writing in June 2009. I wrote 63 posts in 2009 and 117 posts in 2010. Then I took a kind of sabbatical in 2011. In that year, I wrote only 2.

I would like to thank all my friends for their continued support.

What prompted me to start my own blog? I want to thank 2 people for that.

I used to follow Insignia’s blog. I am following even now. Impressed with her writing skills. Bindu asked me to write a guest post for her blog. I did and it was well received. She encouraged me to create my own blog and start writing. She helped me with setting up my own blog. In essence, she was my technical advisor and blog guru. And, she still is.

The Cagey Bee/Who Posted This. He is the same person but writes comments with 2 pseudo names depending on the subject. He also encouraged me to start my own blog. I have been told by a few readers that they visit my blog only to read the comments from this guy. I wish I had this guy’s humorous writing skills. He is not a mystery person. Two fellow blogging friends have indeed met him in person. I have asked him to create his own blog and start writing posts. He said he is content with writing comments only.

Of all the posts I wrote so far, I personally like the following 12 in rank order.

Poor Judgement (Caution: Real Story, Very Tragic)

Since I have nothing to do, I have been monitoring the “live feed”. Even though no one writes a comment any more on this post, the most “read” post is “The Allan Bakke Case”.

Once again, thanks to you all for your continued support. Puleeze keep visiting my blog.

    Congrats SG. When you wrote your first post on my blog; I just put it across - Why dont you start your own? You write well. I am glad I told that!

    Thanks for mentioning me and Cagey Bee! Cagey Bee's comments compete with your posts. I equally look forward to the comments by Who Posted This?

    Looking forward to read your 2000th post!

    What are you doing man?
    Just give kudos to Insignia and stop there.
    She helped you get started…and she’s talented, smart, and a very good writer.

    Why on earth are you mentioning my name?
    I’m just a freaking loud mouth nobody.

    Add to that, you just let out a big secret.

    Some people thought YOU were ‘The Cagey Bee’ in disguise.
    Other people thought that YOU are also ‘Who Posted This?’ commenting on your own blog.
    (why would people think that…I don’t know)

    But now the cat’s out of the bag.

    Nonetheless, congrats on reaching 200.
    You are an outstanding writer who talks about a wide variety of subjects.
    Also, you don’t shy away from controversy…so keep pushing the envelope.
    Looking forward to the next 200…and 2,000 as Insignia said.

    Hey SG, I don’t go by two different names.
    I only have one identity.

    Regards,
    Dr. Jekyll
    Bruce Wayne
    Clark Kent
    Anakin Skywalker
    Hal Jordan
    The Cagey Bee

    I too went on break from Blogging. For six months. But then, I decided that it will be my last blogging break. Congrats on completing 200 posts. Having done that, I know how difficult it is!
