A year ago… around July my most frequented website Betapet.com (a ascrabble site and a wonderful one at that) stopped working. It was a scrabble site which was my most visited site and it helped me combat recession and my changing mind which wanted to change the job again and again. The scrabble would keep my thoughts away and I would think of ratings rather than interviews. It was a pretty good place with lots of people knowing me and lots of people ready to play with me !!!!
I never had to wait in betapet.com for a table… !! Suddenly one day the site went **POOOOF** it just wouldnt work and we kept trying for 3-4 days without luck… a lot of friends didnt even exchange emails and I lost touch of many. It now only works in Swedish language but English version stopped. However of the few I did keep in touch with Ranu introduced me to blogging… I have told this story many times but I would still tell it again… if it wasnt for her i wouldnt be blogging… and she assured me she would read me always… she does… dont you ranu ?? do comment from time to time… !!! PLEASE !!
I wrote my first post on cricket and so started this remarkable journey … a journey that has given me unbelievable friends, jovial moments, laughter, moments of thougtfulness, crazy times and what not… !! 😀 😀 😀
When I started writing, somewhere inside me, something told me that I could earn a fortune out of this or I would very soon become a famous writer, a celebrity most probably … none of that happened or is likely to happen. 😛 😛
Anyways but thankfully I found the most wonderful people I could ever hope to find…. had it not been for all the friends I found here… I dont think I would have survived two plus years in Indore.
Having shifted to Indore 2 years back, I still probably havent accepted this city as my home or embraced its people… I have not made one friend in over 2 years in Indore… apart from the shop-keeper, milk man ( only i m awake when he comes), our bike washer and our watchman mostly no one knows me here… some neighbours in our building share a smile but I havent been too out going or friendly with anyone … !!!! I myself cant believe that for a guy who has so many friends in Bharuch how come I havent made a single friend here… !! I have decided consciously this year onwards it has to change… !!!!
But this blogosphere is where i found my friends… this is my adda… this is where i have made tons of friends… !!!!! You guys are the treasures that i love and value the most !!!!!
Going back to my blogging, eventually after cricket I wrote about politics… Raj Thackrey being the first target… at that point i couldnt stand him… not that i can stand him now… but i was largely writing about cricket and a few things i felt about life… then suddenly 26/11 happened and I started writing more and more about it and found similar blogs and people… that was one time I first wrote a poem in my life… I must confess I never understand most poems so I just write lovely or very beautfiful in comments… but I once did manage to write a poem !!!!!!! and thats when Usha and IHM got in touch and I found most of you guys from there… !!!! here is the poem.. 😀 😀 ( Please do read… ! )
Over time I got bored of the serious stuff… and slowly started loving making fun of people in comments… and as friendships developed and I started becoming comfortable with more and more friends the comments banter began… !!!! Now i try consciously not to write too much of serious stuff… I come to my blog to laugh… to make people laugh and to have a good time… !!!! This is my adda… i come here to rejuvenate… to chill !!!!! to pull legs and get my legs pulled !!!!!!!!! lol … !!!!!!!!!!! its amazing at times you hang out your leg… so some one will pull it !!!!! lol 😛 😛 😛
Over a period of time I have developed special special friendships and relationships. Touch wooood !!!!!!! 🙂
Some of my favourite posts and most likely a lot of you havent read them are : (read if you have nothing to do, first two are on cricket and no points for guess that.
1.) The greatest Indian match winner
3.) I want a daughter …. oh yea ? have 3 sons !!!!
4.) No daughters still.. but No complaints !!!
5.) Sunday Coook
7.) No maid.. ? be careful buddy !!
A bit of self promotion doesnt harm does it ?? 😛 😛
I finished one year on 11th august having posted 224 posts !!! in just 365 days !!!!! now now … I have had a lot to say and i have been hooked big time by this blogging bug… i can safely say blogging runs in my veins now… !!!!! I now blog totally for me and my enjoyment … I love all my blogging buddies… !!! who tease me calling me Bhaiya or Uncle.. some call me MY Dhiren !! whatever you call me.. Hitchy or Hitchu (Crafty’s discovery) all of you are special special part of my life… !!!!!! i cant stop saying this again and again… and yes I aint stopping this first first game at your blogs anytime soon and hope to get more and more people hooked with it… blame me or get irritated with me… I gotta do it !!!! he he he
Guys I finished one year and i didnt announce it the same day !!!!! Imagine I spared you !!!!!!!!! he he now before i start again…… its better i stop so that we can start fun in the commenting… !!! coz that is always more better than the posts here… !! 😛 😛

Congratulations!! One year, 224 posts in 365 days! That must be a record by itself!!!
I have not read some of the posts you have listed – will jump there after commenting here 🙂 first things first 🙂
‘I come to my blog to laugh… to make people laugh and to have a good time… !!!! ‘ – Well, you do that extremely well. It is just not done – to come here and not laugh 🙂 You make our blog samaaj so much a better place 🙂 It is therapeutic to come to your blog 🙂
And everything you say about blogging – all I will say is Amen! So true!
Here’s to many more anniversaries and many more wonderful, feel good, laugh out loud posts 🙂
I have so much to say… when i hear people saying i have done 100 posts in a year… i feel so embarassed… what all i keep rambling and how free i am !!!!!!! 😛 😛
Please do read smi !!!
and yes more and more anniversaries are to follow !!!!!! lets keep laughing and be together !! 😀 😀 😀
arre what’s to get embarrased on so many posts???
i say 365 days mein sirf 224???
365 minus 224 days ka kya??? (did u expect me to do math here?? no chance)
haan…so what about baaki days? i say u shud resolve to have more posts than there are days in a year….
kaisa laga plan???
I agree Crafty. Hitchy, your goal for the next year should be 1 post every day – a the least. On saturdays, pliss to do 2 posts – to compensate for Sunday 🙂
yes! even i think so Hitchu 😛 I can spam some more then 😉 serves my purpose u c 😛
Yes, yes, will read – tomorrow. am being shooed away by my husband now 🙂
baby elephant being shoooed ?? i thought it would need more effort than that… !!! 😛 😛
It is therapeutic to come to your blog
how true smithu!!!! it’s an awesome place to be, hitchu’s blog!!!
now smithu, will u help me retrieve hitchu from the ceiling….
😆
Very difficult, Crafty – he has reached the sky now 😦

We will throw some lizards 😛
If i call him he will come down,my dhiren come down
here i am saritha !!!!!!!!
tumne pukara… aur … hum chale aaaye…
Now we will celebrate with biryani and ice creams 😀
OMG!224 posts in 365 days!!!! 😯
i know by the time i write this, there would be 20 comments flooding in. isnt it?
Of the 7 postss of yours, i guess i read all of them.. i guess i started following your blog from a long time, january i guess.. but then started commenting somewhere in March-april. So havent missed many of your posts 🙂
so whats the aim for the no.of posts for the next year?
since swaram just did a knock-knock..i guess i am the 4th 🙂
You were the one who coined the word blog samaaj and made this an entertaining thing 🙂 Keep posting and spread the smile across many faces…
ok now..enough of praise..come down from wherever you are.
I dint know if anyone called you Bhaiya? they just call you bhai..if thats what u like, i am always ready to call you Dhiren ‘bhai’ or rather uncle 😀
Nope there arent 20 comments… seems the popularity meter is waning !!! lol… 😛 😦
You didnt comment for 2 months ???? you have to repay with interest now… !! and you still are a mystery… very lil i know about you… !! some day i have to catch up on gtalk !! you never seem online though !! 🙂
no thanks i dont need bhaiya or uncle !! hitchy is cooool !! thanks mystery !!! 😛 😛 😛
Nope there arent 20 comments… seems the popularity meter is waning !!!
arre!!!! lol! i guess pll don’t know u r back yet! 😛
as for comments….u know me n swaram n pixu will be doing most of commenting here anyways!!!! 😀
10 comments are mine !!!!!!!!! 😛 😛
lol! 10 other comments will be mine! 😛 😛
ROFL!
Yes..i didnt comment for nearly 2 months ????
I am repaying the interest right now..thats why all this spamming 🙂 🙂
uncle???
😯
mystery!!! get some water to sprinkle on hitchu!!!
😛
Crafty, is that enough to wake up him after that shock… tons of water may help.. I guess 😆
ROFL!!!! yeah kanagu! sprinkling water not enough! help me drag this drum of water kanagu!!! 😀
here’s my helping hand.. !!!! 😀 :D..
let’s fire something and call fire engine.. if this not works.. 😛 😛 😆
ROFL!!! 😆
hahahah!!!! okie…i’ll ask this friend of mine to cook something kanagu! everytime she cooks, its like something caught fire!!
looks like we shudn’t put water on hitchu..we shud put hitchu in water!!!
😆
bhaaagooooooooooo
mystery! this is all ur doing!!!
ROFL crafty… 😆
thats the best idea… put hitchy in water… ha ha ha… 😀
I think we will surely need ur friends help… hitchy cant be seen anywhere… ask her to cook quickly… meanwhile find hitchy and then we can put him in water… 😆
I agree crafty, its all due to mystery 😈
oh I have spammed with the same comments.. 😦 please delete the others dhiren bhai… I have misplaced them 😦
arre bhagwan!!! u do all the mischief and blame it on me..
chalo teek hai.. i ll take revenge one day 😛

ROFL crafty… 😆
thats the best idea… put hitchy in water… ha ha ha… 😀 😀

And I treasure u so so much hitchu, u know na? *crafty getting senti…nose getting watery…eyeing hitchu’s sleeve*

Heyy, happy Blog Anniversary buddy ! You started off blogging with your passion and so did I. You then stopped writing serious stuffs and wanted only fun, so do I. You love all these blog friends and these are the only friend circle you have now, so do I. Both of us are travelling in the same boat. No, we are travelling in the same cruise and we have a lot more crazy ones aboard with us !!! 😀 😀
i tend to think we are the only sane ones actually !! have to act looney for the sake of the crazy ones we have taken aboard !!!! 😛 😛

Hitchy to me on Jul 15 2009: no no i didnt invite you coz i dont know… I m weary… I sound very phunny and entertaining on the net… but in reality i m kinda more quiet and boring.
What an excuse to not meet me!! Hitchy itna bhao mat khao!!
😛

phew…. !!!!!!
Well well well Dhiren.
Belated one year anniversary post.
CONGRATS dear. 🙂
And yes I’ve read ALL your post (even though I didn’t comment on all of them) when you went to your bro in law’s wedding and little brother’s engagement in bhuruch. 🙂
I must say I love reading your work and my favourite type of posts from you are of Hriday and your wife (basically family posts). 🙂
Well Dear. By the end of your blog year 2, I expect you to have a total 365 posts. 😉 What say?? 😀
Thankoooooos badz !!!!
365 is toooo low.. i was aiming for 500 !!!!! 😛 😛 beware !!!!!
Hahahahahahaha! 😆
Dhiren. That’s cool. 😉
I’ll keep reading them. 😛
Hitchy, You were one of the first bloggers I “met” along with IHM and OG. I was blog hopping and saw a yum recipe posted on your blog and I commented on it. I think it was Poori-Aloo or something like that. You said that you returned from your native and this is the food you had there or at the station. (don’t remember clearly)
Then I forgot about it and you commented on mine. I was not much into blog hopping then because I wasn’t sure of blogging. But slowly it became fun and met more bloggers.
You had a fabulous one year of blogging! May you have many many more. Keep spreading cheer like always. 🙂 (I can’t believe that I am writing some nice words for you. Koi nahin will pull your leg on twitter.)

Congratulations, Dhiren! Hope you read my comments here or are you still in the sky, floating?!!
I met you first through my ‘musical tag’ post. Then I have become an addict to your posts. I need lot of time to finish reading your ‘comments’ column, than your post! Whenever, your new post is highlighted in my blog, I mostly, come here to read, immediately. Like now, around 90 comments will be there, for me to read!
I always enjoy and feel happy to read your post and comments. I have to read just 1 post, you have highlighted here.
Like I said sometime back, in one of my comment, you are the only person, I feel free to tease and feel free to get teased back!
Long live Dhiren, Hitchu, Hitchy….and our blog samaaj!
Me floating always.. but have eyes like an eagle.. so can read everything !!!!!

thats a mouth watering thought !! 😛
224 posts in 365 days??? Wow!!! Consider that out of 365, you’ve got 52 weekends and then a month of annual leaves, a week of sick leaves, and still you’ve got 224 posts… Add to that your comments
Only if your boss see’s this… 😀 he he…
And read that poem, good work Dhiren. We were all so emotional at that time.
I earlier used to write only once every month or so but dunno somehow after meeting a lot of new friends and developing friendships, I got hoooked on… I post frequently enough and more so, I am visible in the comment space a lot more 🙂 Especially your ‘chat room’ 🙂
Cheers!
PS. Where’s the party?
geeeeeeee Rakesh only you thought of my boss !!!!! isme se kuch jalne ki boooo aa rahi hai !!!!!!! 😉
lol… !!!!!!
party… !???? didnt you see the BURP above >>>???? huh 😀
Thats a loooooot of posts in just one year. Anyway, what matters is that you had so much to write (rant, ramble, blabber, whatever….) and we all had the guts to read and comment. I still remember the post which you wrote without even a full stop in between. My God ! that was the ultimate post. But it was great fun reading so many of your posts – as you said that your main idea is to enjoy in this blogosphere and thats exactly you are doing.
Congrats to Hitch ! 100th post is mile stone and My best wishes to you for keep on blogging and making us all laugh and enjoy and share this wonderful banter called comments.

I just finished reading the blogs on your fav list (except for first 2, I am not a big cricket fan, sorry !!)
Loved all the remaining though 🙂
Awww…congratulations.
Glad to know how much you’ve gained from the ‘blog samaj’ and how you adore it.
Let’s hope that I’ll also survive the fast growing blog-world with my poor writing skills 😛
As you know I’m new to blogging but…I have the similar feelings for flickr. I’ve made so many friends there, whom i haven’t met and very few chances of ever meeting them (since most of them are in different countries ) … i still feel that i know them.
congrats!
