Reason: added information
Nice data updates, Ranjith. Happy to know many bloggers through indiblogger.com. Best wishes to all the bloggers!
Though I have been with Indi for 4 of the 5 years, my blogging has begun to revolve around Indi for the last 6-8 months. I have done 37 posts for 15 contests out of the 32 conducted by Indi. Finally won prizes in 3 contests as well.
Finally attended a meet as well. Somehow was too overhwhelmed meeting my blogger friends that I could not catch up with the Indi organizers at the meet.
Enjoyed both chat and forum and now been made Indipolice as well. Before I know it I have become a complete Indiblogger and I have a whole set of friends due to indi. So I guess I definitely have lot to thank them for.
And now hope the new publishing initiative with harper collins turns out to be something to thank them for once again.
You do not look a day over 4!
And about my journey here, it definitely feels great to contribute a small addition (cant say of its value though 
) towards the humongous statistical achievement add-ups of this wonderful platform, IndiBlogger
That is quite an analysis, Ranjith. Well Done :) And Isnt that a portrait sketch of Renie? Amazing! You should definitely be running an art blog! 
I must be thankful to God that someone had identified the person in that photograph! (I though that none would be able to do so...
) An art blog (of random strokes and lines which need not mean something) has been there on my list since a few months ago.
And, would you try to find the encoded message in those colourful 0's and 1's.....
Ranjith, the IndiComplicator I have been staring at that encoded picture for the last 10 minutes with no apparent success and if I continue to stare at it for a few minutes more, I fear I will turn color blind How about assigning that task to Renie himself?
