Just a second…..anniversary special

All this while, there’s been reason and no rhyme
And to the rhymester within, thats been a crime
So he thought, what better way to celebrate a blog birthday
than rhyming about all the guys he’s met on the way….
For all who think he’s better off keeping mum
This is nothing, the verse is yet to come….

Aqua wants us to remember
that we have dreams in December

Here’s where we get elixir, but sadly, only a drop,
coz as the line goes,’once you start, you can’t stop’

then there’s the apple of newton’s eye
ebony or ivory, wonder which is her favourite dye

The bad man talking calls himself stone,
But his notes to self always have a good tone..

and though this one advertises herself as a ‘solitary cynic’
she is an integral part of the AA clique…

Vanilla writes on chocoalate cake,
dilse bolo, a better combination, could anyone make?

Until a jolt of reality, a potpourri of thoughts she used to fill,
pallavi’s the name, and the blog that rocks is called jilmil…

Unless you have gone totally blind
a million light bulbs should help read the mind…

For those who think eschewing obfuscation wouldn’t do
Harneet has random ruminations too…

Arunima has titled her blog “Silent Eloquence”
and for once, she makes a a lot of sense

Just a workshop?, nope, its not so simple,
coz its owned by none other than the devil…

And when you’re always sanguine,
Celeb(be)rating life has to be in!!

The view from the tower must be supreme,
but then, being rapunzel itself is such a wonderful dream….

This one calls himself no hair brain
and his ruminations are far from insane…

From the oaf to pleo, he has a split personality of sorts
blot of thoughts, thought of blots, he calls it ‘bloughts’…

The Goan Sri Sri, white is one of his favourite hues
but he still calls his blog ‘saltwater blues’.

Finding a vanilla field is easier than i thought
but i hope this stays, and no new beginnings are sought…

The spirituality and the name -blokesablogin
got me confused, thought it was yang, turned out to be yin…

Arvind Iyer is the ‘lean dude with attitude’
hey, its trademarked, unauthorised use could get you sued…

A lot of ideas are forged by the ideasmith
and most of them are the kind you’ll agree with..

Ashweeta has got herself some pages at typepad,
and here, even the PJs aren’t that bad…

The crackpot calls her blog ‘inkspillz’
and though she’s not a goddess now,it certainly sizzlez!!

The chipmonster speaks, but she blogz as coolcat,
but whatever the name, this one’s cool and thats that!!

Whats an erratic soul that can dance?
That folks, is what we call an errantrance

The fish called goonda thinks she’s a fishy fiend,
but after sad-turn kidnapped her, she’s taken a long time to mend….

Austere she is, and a seeker too,
wonder what she seeks, or should it be who??

The Grinch may call it ‘grinchscrumpit’ or ‘my dump pit’,
but the content is as good as any floyd hit…

Nupur writes about what even she doesnt know,
but mate, she does have a template whiter than snow..

Chaotic daze and enthu knights,
gump does have some great insights

Garfy has got herself a diary
and her antics are anything but dreary…

Amidst all the middle east’s troubles
ashi sips coffee and continues her virtual scribbles..

Kraz calls his place wrecktangle
and to every tale, he adds a unique angle…


Pompy’s blog is “off the cuff”

but you wouldnt realise, judging from the stuff


Imagine a blog by satchit haridas,
actually dont, he already has….

Crabbie likes to call it goofiness personified
but pretty soon it could become a classic food guide 🙂

one of the best templates you can find – thats “pradeeps’s mindspace”
he posts every bluemoon, and in spite of my taunts, he wont mend his ways!!

Once she used to be a bug, she is now an angel with wings
and from budhhism to winterwear, she can write on a zillion things!!

He’s the blogger who whacks the talk,
but when he gets verse, i go “what the f***”!!

There’s someone who goes by the name of J
she has a warped mind, and thats all she’ll say..:)

Anubhas world has a lot of scribblings
and an attitude, among other things…

And from the days of rediff, i’ve been getting some pearls of wisdom,
She’s not on the list, but she’s as good as they come..

The journey that began on a boring tuesday,
has continued for 2 years, to this day…
for better or verse, this one is for all the bloggers i know
and the ones i dont, but who are still part of the show…

  27. Hey, just found this post. This has all the ol’ blogging circle, way before there were blogger meets, BlogCamps, own domains and certainly before it was called ‘Social Media’! Brought back a flood of memories. Where have all these people gone?

    1. a few of them are still around.. some have stopped blogging, but can be seen around…
      and then there are some who have completely disappeared, impossible to trace because of pseudonyms etc… sometimes, when i look back at these posts, and remember those times, i feel immeasurably sad at having lost touch… they were all wonderful people 🙁
      thats why my ’site seeing’ page still has their links.. if at some time they come back, they should know that they belong 🙂
