Today is special on three counts. . First I saw a crocodile flying in air and it gave me high fives before vanishing in thin air...And secondly I got a bundle of three million Euros in the bus which I used for buying a 30 percent stake in Becks…Thirdly I got secretly married to Vidya Balan...Okay no more kidding… ;-P
Today is special coz I finished 2 years in the blog world and this is my 100th post in blogger(lazy me adding up number from other blog as well.. ;-p)…
These two years has shown me an amazing mix of creative...humorous...sarcastic... beautiful...touching...informative and gratifying posts…It has helped me with a 360-degree perspective of many ideas. Many concepts which I previously saw in one dimension now looks more clear in the three dimensional view…I have had a hearty laugh reading many of them...sympathized with many of them…looked in awe at many of them…felt hungry at many of them…and occasionally got angry with some of them…
Looking back I realize that I never did bother to thank the many people who write these amazing blogs...and many people who have spend at least a few minutes of their lives reading this blog...This post is dedicated to all the special people who have come by this blog at some point of time…I also would like to thank a few special people whose blogs as well as their personalities that I admire…Thank you very much for all the lovely posts and comments…
Alexis
More than a blogger he is an inspiration. And am sure all fellow bloggers would agree with that. His sense of humour is amazing and his posts are beautifully detailed…And not to mention his naughty surprises like Sixela Noel. Maybe having studied in the same college I feel a deep sense of nostalgia whenever I read his posts... I admire his will power and his strength to face adversity head on...I wished he blogged more often...Once in a while I re-read his old posts and still never get tired... Wishing you good luck for your new book.
Anjali
Her blog is any day my all time favorite. Someone who writes with amazing consistency and each post of her is a gem. Her humor is free flowing and she can make us laugh even with most trivial of topics... She was one of my first visitors and probably I might not have been blogging now but for her first tag… I often wonder how can the same person write both Poomanam and Think Pad. She is a truly gifted writer…And bud if your blogs are being plagiarized and you get ridiculous comments it is just the indication of how terrific your blog is!!…This is a blog that I don’t miss checking out every day.
Jiby
I think he is the blogger most alike me…Coz when I read some of his entries, it almost feels like he is reading my mind…There seems to amazing synergy the way he thinks and I can easily identify with it. His writings are honest, clean and laced with a no frills approach making them a terrific read...On a lighter note Jiby is as confused as I am with life!! ;-P
Mishmash!
Mash chechi is probably the sister I never had. J Got to read her blogs quite late...In the beginning I used to drop by her blog just to get some recipes .It was almost like a quick sprint from the kitchen...“ohh ookk...2 teaspoon of coriander and then”… ”Grate coconut”…
“Hey Sunil..grate coconut..”
“Oye…Being mallu doesn’t mean you have to say Great coconut...stop glorifying!!””
Over a period of time I took time to enjoy her posts and then realized the narrative was as good as the recipes...Her comments are very morale boosting and I identify a family like attachment with her comments. I wouldn’t recommend this blog to anyone else just coz it will leave you starved with the god awesome dishes on display!!
Deepz
Ex-college mate...Though never knew her back then coz I was the studious rank holder types and I was always in research at the Sallap labs...oops…Machine Labs!!…;-P
For introducing me to the gems in blog world. Poor lady the blogger block in office has stopped her blogging. I found the first three blogs after blog hopping from her blog...She used to drop by my blog when during the initial blogging days out of 100 hits 99 were mine and one was from her!
Nanditha
Almost identify her as a twin of Mishmash. I usually don’t like reading philosophical stuff, although I like to write fundafying stuff...On a serious note her way of expressing complex thoughts through simple stories makes them a great read! The food for thought is expressed in beautiful stories without making the reader feel like listening to a sermon…
I know it is difficult to thank all here considering there are good number of blogger buddies out here like Kusum..Jac...Keshi...Sreejith...NC…Velu...Neers...Venky…Ruchika…Abhi…zee…Di…Regil...Aravind…Vidya…And many more to whom I want to mention my gratitude…
To all bloggers buds danke..
Gracias..…
All anonymous commenters and readers for dropping by.
My friends Vishnu, Vinod and Vinu who drop by occasionally…I know these guys are too lazy to comment…but still thanks idiots!! ;-P
My Mom for instilling my love for the English language although sometimes I feel she is being paid by Oxford to find grammatical mistakes...(.Are all English teachers like this?;-P)
Thanks everyone...cheers…

awwwww that was so sweet!!
Congratulations on completing 100 amazing posts. Your sense of humor is terrific and your serious posts easy to understand and very thought provoking.( There you have an answer as to how I write TP and Poomanam :p)
Thank you for the kind words and keep writing buddy. Looking forward to a 1000 more!! :)
p.s. Yours and Alexis blog are the only two blogs my second bro likes and has the patience to read :)
Congrats to you!
Though the numbers never matter, its amazing to see the quality and the well balanced mix of humor, satire, creativity ,philosophy (??:)) all in its best form maintained for such a long period.
Hope to see the same for even a longer period too...
and yes, the Paris trip travelogue is pending too! :)
Congratulations on your 100th post. It takes a lot of determination and creativity. I don't know how Anjali is managing two post per week. I am still at 92 posts even after 2.5 years.
Thank you for mentioning me and for the nice words. And for the wishes. The two books have been completed, they are released and are doing well. Currently working on the companion web sites and instructors' manual for them and on another book and a few articles for a couple of magazines, hence the periodic absence from the blogosphere.
I wish you all the very best and expecting many more post from you.
Really enjoyed reading this amazing thank u note! I thank u for providing readers like me with 100 posts. Even though i've not had the patience to read all the 100, i'm looking forward to more such posts and awesome recipes like the BEEF Malarthiyathu!
I did ask my mom to make it for me, bt then she said i'll have all the time in the world 1se i was alone to try these recipes whenever i wanted!
The collage was really awesome! Vasanthan sir wd be proud of u!
Congrats, on the milestone!
Congrats! :)
And yours and Anjali's blogs are where I go when I need to forget everything else and just laugh out loud.
Keep writin.
I'm in there too. Awww!
Congrats! Century adichallo. Treat venam. :)
Hey congrats for the milestone :)
Yours posts are simply awesome.. Keep going..
congratulations mathew...i have seen you grow into a terrific writer...keep writing...don't let all the muck that life might throw at you affect your writing like it has done to me.
am just beginning to wonder...if we are all still blogging after say 10 years...haha...what kind of stuff will we be writing about???
once again really happy for you...a day worth celebrating more than birthdays or payraise or promotions...cheers!
Congratulations on 100th post and for completing 2 years in blogosphere.
Your blog is no less than other. I wish you all the very best.
"Tum jiyo hazaaron saal, saal ke posts ho pachaas hazaar".
Even this "Thanks Giving" speech of yours has a Mathew touch :)) Heartfelt congratulations on the 100th post and I really wish to see your articles in print form somewhere, getting due recognition, as you always got that "spark" in your posts. Its not just me who enjoy your posts at home, sometimes, I show those awesome posts to my hubby too who also is appreciative of your writing.
Danke for all those very sweet words, let me just say, feeling is mutual :) pakshe chechi ennokke paranju enne orupadu vayassi aakkalle, veruthe enkilum njan cheruppam aanennu vicharichotte, though i know i can no longer brand those two silver hairs , under the "baala-nara " category :D
DO write MORE and wish you all the very best.
