Single in the city

sushmita bose of “single in the city” fame will not write for the column on hindustan times any more.

she announced her decision to quit the column (she is quitting her job with hindustan times) in her last to last weeks column.

it was sad to know that we no longer would get to know of the travails of sushmita in the big bad city of delhi. it used to be one of my favourite sections on sunday’s newspaper and i would never miss a single issue.

she was also my inspiration behind this blog, although it is not half as interesting as her section.

all the best to sushmita in whichever venture she is choosing next. i hope she has a blog where she will continue writing. Lemme assure her that i will be a loyal reader.

Turning SEO

god, i am turning a SEO day by day.

just a week ago i submitted my blog to a few blog directories like Blog Catalog and India Counts. yesterday, i also exchanged link with a website.

previous attempts at submitting blog to blog directories were a failure. each time i submitted my blog to a directory, it would ask me to put the website/directory link to my blog. a newbie that i am in this field, the instruction was least understandable.

then one day while working in the admin area of my blog, i came across the feature how i can add links to my blogroll. i also came to know how i can change the name of the blogroll as “Blogs i read” or anything similar.

My blog scores a 4/10 on Google Page Rank

hey did u all notice this. i noticed it for the first time today and am really very happy and satisfied too.

my blog has been ranked 4th on the google page rank parameter.

don’t know when this happened. earlier, i always opened my blog on mozilla which didn’t have the google page rank toolbar. only today i opened it with internet explarer and the moment my eyes hit the 4/10, i was excited.

now, i am not very sure of what good that means to my blog or

Back without a bang

yes, i am alive. all you people, who sometimes take pains to go through the crap that i have on my blog, might think where have i disappeared. No, i was very much present in delhi. but as i talked in one of my last posts, was busy with shopping. saturdays and sundays were booked totally for the shopping course (in fact skipped one friday as well for the same).

also my reliance datacard has suddenly developed a glitch that’s unclear to me. while at office, it works fine. at home, it gets connected fine, showing those icons at the quicklaunch. however, not a site opens. soon i found that the problem was faced by many of my colleagues here.

so no blogging for some two weeks now. but as the traffic stats revealed only ten visits yesterday, i was apalled of losing the some dedicated visitors that i have. so here i am blogging from office. fortunately none of the bosses are at office today, so i can work at my pace.

My blog, my baby

this blog is like a kid to me. just as one would love to watch his/her small kid grow up, so do i love to watch the growth of my blog.

born one night in september, this blog has completed three months now. and this blog is very much like a friend to me since i am able to confide many things to it that i wouldn’t have to a real life friend.

it’s fantastic to see the increased traffic each day when i login to the administrator section on my blog. also once in a blue moon, some good samaritan likes the content here and puts a comment. one mr. ravi found my job issues matching his. it was impressing. i sent him a mail and we interacted with each other.

Claim me technorati

just wanting to add my blog to technorati for some increased traffic. but dont know where this is going. with no clear instruction, i dont know how to proceed with claiming of the blog and what will it lead to.

anyways one of the instruction was that technorati would be looking for some new content. and so i am doing here the smallest post on this blog.

computers aren’t user-friendly

had it not been for blogging from office, i would have seldom been as punctual as i am now. these days i blog everyday and feel satisfied that the blog is growing, at least in size.

just give a thought to this: won’t it be great if computers too started as soon as you switched it on. my laptop has a weak battery and as long as it opens up completely, it has already exhausted half the battery.

also exhausts the motivation to do something creative on computer. before i had a computer, i always thought of doing some freelance work after office. but once i bought one and now got one from office, i seldom have that desire. it’s only when i have a strong desire of something, like watching porn that i give computer a preference over TV that i can switch in an instant.

also you have to sit all the while before your computer. can’t we have something where we can keep the computer or laptop on a stand and we could do the typing while reclining on the sofa. the laptop can’t be kept on the lap, lest the powers be lost.

so if there is someone from computer makers who have come across this blog, try and find a solution. i will be obliged.
