Tre

The first time it came around, we did this. Then we tried this. But this time we’re keeping it simple. ‘A walk in the clouds..’ turns three today. Yay, whee and other assorted good stuff. No no. No gifts please. Well, if you absolutely insist, wonly cash donations, ancestral property and home-made mithaai, dankyouverrymuj.

Three years. Huh. Who’d have thunk?

Regular programming resumes next week.

    So, how much is that in tree years? (get it? yes? no? may be?)

    We should also be honored, no? After all, we’ve been around when we were yumnyum and a wee toddler running around causing very many mischevious acts on comment spaces!

    Kangaroolations!!! (which means that your mail-order kangaroo is on its way and soon shall be jumping around in your lawn, possibly on the pretty flowers you might have!)

    Congrats on 3. On this momentous occasion I have a poem for you asking you to be more regular on the blog! ( get your barf bags ready)

    Don’t be so fickle
    you throw us in a pickle
    makes us to throw a sickle
    which will make you buckle
    So please start the trickle ( of new posties)

    (body bags any one!!)

    Whoa! Who would have thought you would run so long and so strong ;-) If only your blog was some kind of real estate, I would have made a lot of money :) Now run a contest for the oldest commenter on your blog..

    I still remember those early ‘hazing’ days of yours..Nice Returns for all of your effort. The next step of evolution is somehow run a coffeehouse in Second Life where people would hop on and discuss your latest blog posts…Many Happy Returns on the Blogoversary

    Congratulations on completing three years. Does this mean soon this blog will start talking sense? I sincerely hope not. It must retain its childlike innocence and keep talking gibberish that only loving fans will understand.

    Happy B’day to you and suchlike… Three years in blogosphere makes you a member of elders’ council, doesn’t it, naaniji? *ducks inside his nuclear shelter*

    So, now that the party is over, where is the “naagin” post?

    Great! Except for you blog … like … what, once in two months?

    Now would we see something funny here as usual or your next post will be one that marks your 4th anniversary?

    You know what? I have this feeling that you have set up a computer program running somewhere that will post randomly generated anniversary messages every year from now on. And you are never even gonna look at these comments.

    !?

    Wow! A huge Congratulations!

    Thank you for entertaining us for three years. And do keep continuing to write those witty posts! We simply love them.

    Hey wait, didn’t you once write that we (bloggers) are the extras who dance behind the likes of Shilpa Shetty and try our best to grab some attention? Guess, you went on to become the Shilpa while others remained where they were! Don’t get annoyed that I am calling you a Shilpa. She is a huge celebrity now, what with Blair giving her 10 mins of his last days and she, getting invited to a luncheon with top MPs of the UK? Hmmm, means something big, isn’t it?

    Hey, did you really write about Shilpa? I don’t recall it properly. I got a very poor memory!

    [iii] Yeah. Cool, no? And of course I remember! :)

    [Sriram] Yes yes, got. Didn’t I mention once before that only *I* am allowed to crack such terrible jokes on this blog? Sigh. You know what’s interesting about this blog’s younger yumnyum days? It was a lot more serious at a year old and has grown up to be more of a brat now. Now what is it they say about the blogger’s personality being reflected in the blog? Hmm. Oh and thankoo! The kangaroo has arrived, feasted on my lilies, burped, and now says hi to you.

    [gvenum] Oh boy. Wow. I wonder what is worse - that my blog’s anniversary inspired you to such depths of poetry, or that you chose to share it with such unmitigated pride. Either way, thankoo :)

    [anantha] Arrey! Here I thought I had patiently spent the last few months drilling it into your head exactly what my ‘regular programming’ meant and you still come along, go blink blink and ask innocently. All my months of teaching gone down the drain. *ducks to avoid heavy objects from the general southwest direction*

    [Thejesh] Thank you!

    [karan] Naah. It’s having too much fun in the playpen right now, so we’ll put it off for a few more years :)

    [Paddy] Hazing, eh? Hmm true, the pseudo-intellectual fundas you tried to give a poor hapless six-month old probably should qualify as some form of torture. Yes, am glad it survived it all. And thank you for the wishes and for being such a long-time reader and commenter! (Okay, that’s enough of politeness and being nice to you, I think.)

    [Basanti] Arrey wah! Happy brr-day to you! :)

    [Sudha] Yes! Er .. I mean .. well .. you know .. regular programming .. like it has been for the past few months .. gulp .. I mean .. I’m gonna try. Sigh.

    [Amol] Heh heh. With the kind of genes it has going for it, do you need to even wonder if this blog will start talking sense? Thankoo for the wishes :)

    [deitaDi] Eesh. Ugh. Thankoo :)

    [Paddy] Am guessing gvenum, iii and you should qualify for A K Hangal status around here. Am I missing anyone?

    [nimpipi] Hello! Good to run into you too :) Glad you like and hope to see you around here a lot more. And thank you for the link love! :)

    [Vasu] Thankoo! And bah :) Why can’t my one-post-a-month itself be regular programming? Who defined regular to be more frequent anyway? Tsk tsk.

    [raj da 2nd] Thankoo :) Hic!

    [Rashmi] Thank you!

    [raj dutta] Heh :) *braces herself*

    [indyana] Last rites of the footwear! I mean, shoe-kriya!

    [Fleiger] Oh yes totally. Soon I shall be mouthing lines starting with ‘hamaare zamaane mein .. ‘ And do you really want to be pissing off a member of the elders’ council then, my boy? Naagin post will eventually happen. Am too drunk on the festivities right now to distinguish between Reena Roy and Manisha Koirala.

    [Adi] Thanks :)

    [Raju] Dhanyawaad and all that :)

    [Mythili] Arrey wah! Congratulations and droooool :)

    [Manoj] Aw, come now. I’m not that bad, am I? (Shhh, Anantha, you are not supposed to actually answer that!) And just to disprove your theory about a bot writing my posts, here I am, replying to all my comments dutifully. See?

    [ekta] Thank you! Is good to see you here after so long! You’ve been around here since my baby days :)

    [loverBoy] Thank you! :) And yes indeed, it was me who came up with that theory. And how can I be anything but flattered that I am being likened to Shilpa Shetty. Now let me go find myself a cliff. Sniffle.

    [Anon] ?

    Whatever! Hmmmphf!

    Like I mentioned, I am not going to talk to people who have ignored my comments/notes etc. from the recent past!

    [anantha] You will not talk but you will comment on their blog no, pliss pliss? And what is this I hear? Comments and notes ignored? You have been passing notes to me at the back of the classroom, without my knowledge even? How shweet! :) *still checking the skies for flying objects*

    achi naani pyaari naani russa-russi chhod de….

    Nice to hear that the post is coming on fine. We are (as usual) looking forward to a definite treatise of Bollywood’s relationship with Naagins… of all kinds and forms (not to mention sizes and ages).

    BTW, differentiating between Reena Roy and Manisha Koirala is easy for me, since somebody will have to point out Reena Roy for me ;)

    I know who you are! I know who you are! You’re you! You don’t live in a car! You write easy poems. You drink big fat phoems. You’ve made me sit in a ladies loo! And it wasn’t even to do any poo. I don’t think its Mass. More like Frorence, Dumbass! You totally are you! I know I know I knooo!!!

    And if you are you. I think that’s THE you. Then miss you so much. And come back to lu(n)ch. Cause ammchi city’s booring without tchuu.

    [devi] Thanks. Will check it out!

    [deitaDi] Arrey, et tu? Too much celebrating and merrymaking happening, that’s all. That’s why no ataa-pataa. Okie, now I go finish post so I can post it tonight :)

    [Fleiger] Sigh. The expectations from this post is sure to kill it prematurely, much like the shape-shifting snakes that feature in it. And you don’t know Reena Roy? My goodness! Boy, do you need an education or wot!

    [Judgemental J] Oh crap. Who squealed?

    Tuesday, February 13, 2007 @ 7:35 PM

  39. Fleiger · Other comments for this name · Other comments for this URL

    I am waiting for the education, when it starts “next week”… My Bollywood knowledge is largely limited to the era mid ’90s and later, sadly.

    And if you are wondering why I was being so mean about your (blog’s) age, why were there no mentions of cake, and other assorted b’day party foodstuff? Kuch logon ko sab kuch batana padta hai *grrr*

    Tuesday, February 13, 2007 @ 9:44 PM

  40. Megha · Other comments for this name · Other comments for this URL

    [Fleiger] Oh I just assumed it was a lifestyle choice, like any other :) I didn’t realize the lack of cake and a party made some kids sooooo cranky. Tsk tsk. These aajkal ke bachche and their sugar-cravings, I tell you.

    Aah, I thought there might be some such misunderstandings stemming from my lack of sugar-rush ;)
