BlogAdda's Tangy Tuesday picks... my post... !!!



The wise say... Never go searching for happiness... it will come looking for you. How very true!

Yesterday (July 14, 2009) around 5.00 pm... I logged into my GMail account and was in for a surprise. There, sitting (comfortably, no doubt) in my inbox was... a mail titled: "Your post has been picked for our Tangy Tuesdays"

I was intrigued and read further... and to my great surprise and immense joy found that my post "Requiem for the 'world's oldest blogger'... and MJ." has been picked up by BlogAdda for their 'Tangy Tuesday picks'. *applause, applause!* Thank you BlogAdda!

Here is what the mail stated:

Congratulations! Your post has been selected by BlogAdda as one of the top posts for this week's 'Tangy Tuesday Picks'.

In case you want to have a look... you can find the link: HERE and the write-up says:

Tere päevast (Have good day in Estonian). It's pouring here in Mumbai and as someone mentioned it's not raining cats and dogs, but it's elephants and dinosaurs. Our team fought against delayed trains, water logging and heavy winds to pick up the best posts for you from the Indian blogosphere.
As always, these are some of the good posts for you to enjoy. Do comment on their blogs once you've read the complete post. It inspires a blogger to write more and he/she can churn out better content everytime!

Who : Roshmi Sinha
Tangy: “World's oldest blogger’ dies in Spain at 97″…. This wonderful post by Roshmi Sinha pays tribute to the world's oldest blogger and MJ. Very few would know about the death of the blogger and that itself makes us pick it for you. A very good read!

Wow! This is awesome and such an honour. Feels great and I'm over the moon. Yippieeeeeee!!!

This month so far has been amazing. First, my blog was the second runner-up... among 74 nominations at the "IndiBlogger of the Month May 2009" contest "Original Humour" category. Then... Subhayan awarded me the "Wramblerz Award"... in the "In-cyclo-pedic Blogger" category, followed by Shilpa's 'toast'... and now this! Wonderful! My cup of happiness... runneth over!

I must thank the celebrated Roman general Julius Caesar (from whom the month of 'July' derives its name) and to quote him (with a little customization... to suit my reqs, of course): "Veni, I wrote, I won."

And Oh! before I forget... the Alexa Traffic Rank for my blog has been moving northwards... steadily... and is currently at: 223,232. This is my 81st post and in the short span of 5 months... this blog has had visitors from across the globe... 68 countries, to be precise... till date. *a very satisfied smile*

Let me take a bow (and another round of applause please...)
