Happy to have reached milestone 1500!

This is my blog post number 1500 and I am very happy to have reached this milestone!

After I posted my first article to this blog site “Raghu’s column!” 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  https://srisrilara.blogspot.com/ from time to time, please read my articles and post your comment for me and others to benefit”.

At the time when I began blogging, I never thought I would reach a figure of 1500 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 11 years, 5 months and 14 days (4185 days), I have posted 1500 articles with well over 15,000 photographs. To see some of these photographs you may click on the following link and scroll down for more:

My nephew with his family who are abroad and similarly a number of my friends, relatives and ex-colleagues who are all far away are very happy to read my posts on the 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 who reach my blog in search of information.

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 1,833,400 pageviews so far, from every nook and corner of the world. Actual pageviews are much more than double of 1,833,400… which means well over 4 million pageviews! because many computers these days have complex firewall protection which does not allow bloggers to register their pageviews. With such statistics, I am highly motivated.

I wish to continue blogging as long as possible, as I am thoroughly enjoying this hobby. May this bonding last forever! God Bless this love!

Thank you dear reader for visiting my blog and may God bless you.
