I am happy to announce that
I have just completed posting 'My 800th article' to my blog – Raghu’s column! After I posted my
first article to this blog site on 20th April 2009, I sent an email to my
family, friends and relatives as follows: “Hi! Everyone, I have just started
blogging under the title: ‘Raghu’s column!’ I strongly wish and hope I would
find time to contribute regularly to this column on wide ranging topics: My
views, memoirs, parties, forthcoming events, local issues / news, family
announcements and many more topics. Please visit http://srisrilara.blogspot.in/ from time to time, please read my articles
and post your comments for me and others to benefit”.
At the time when I began
blogging, I never thought I would reach a figure of 800 blog posts. As events
came up and ideas, thoughts and memories sprang to my mind I kept writing as
and when possible and in these 5 years, to be precise in 62 months and 19 days,
I have posted 800 articles with well over 6,000 photographs.
My youngest son, Srinath is
abroad in UK since six years, my eldest son, Srikanth is in Bangalore since two
years and my nephew, Dr. Uday Bhasker is away from home since several years in
Pune, Delhi, Lucknow, Saudi Arabia for six years and now in New Zealand and
similarly a number of my friends, relatives and ex-colleagues who are all far
away are very happy to read my posts on current events of Hyderabad and those
concerning me and our family. And the blog is serving as a ready reckoner for
me, our family and friends over various subjects related to us and I presume it
is helping a large number of other visitors reaching my blog in search of
information.
I wish to continue blogging
as long as possible, as I am thoroughly enjoying this hobby.
With a modest number of
registered followers but a very large number of unregistered regular followers
and hundreds of random visitors to my blog there have been 8,25,509 page views
so far, from every nook and corner of the world, as you can see in the blogger
statistics I have provided below. Actual page views are more than double or
treble of 8,25,509! because many computers these days have complex firewall
protection which do not allow Blogger to register their page views.
Here are pictorial glimpses
of my blog statistics and my 800-blog posts:
