Wish My Yatra Diary a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY. The stats are just amazing as Mohini pointed out, its an ideal blog.
Kudos Arti for maintaining it so well.

Arti
from Mumbai |

THANKS Ds! Stats are toh mere numbers.. They keep on dwindling and changing. More than that its the love of all you people here that matters a lot.. It is everything, it is what keeps of going! Look at all of this here.. No amount of stats or numbers can achieve this kind of feeling that I am experiencing right now... Thanks for being around :-)

DS
from Mumbai |

Thats true Arti, when Ranjith started that thread when I joined the forum hero list, I was speechless too...
When people enjoy each others success then it feels like a really good place.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Yes, this place is magic!

DS
from Mumbai |

Thats the right word - MAGIC

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

haha, you have some other word for magic too....but you will call it self promotion..Embarassed

DS
from Mumbai |

No Mohini, when friends praise you, its not self promotion... Its Love:)

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

ya, DS....It's Love.....:) unconditional love.....:)

DS
from Mumbai |

Thats true:)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Mohinee..... main kya kahoon? Seeing all this, I am humbled.. I feel blessed.. A big bouquet of Thanks to you dear :-) :-)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Yeh sabki kya zaroorat thi Mohinee? You are the most inspirational blogger I have ever met.. A true friend in this virtual world! This bloggy world is so much beautiful for me because of people like you. Warm hugs to you Miss Madhuri ;)

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

Loved ur reaction ;) kumbh ke mele ki bhichdi hui behnon :) reallly happy seeing the bonding we all having IndiAwesome!

DS
from Mumbai |

Haha:) Yes Hemal, this is what I love the most on Indi. People genuinely respect each other. And learn from each other.

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

@DS something that makes this forum a grt place to be

Arti
from Mumbai |

@Hemal I am one lucky girl.. warna ek baar bichde.. phir milte kahan... :)

Arti
from Mumbai |

@DS righto! As Hemal said, something that keeps us all in and connected Smile

DS
from Mumbai |

Yup @ Hemal, Arti :)

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Arti, not just because friend, but I seriously feel that all, and for new bloggers it is great to learn from you as a person, as a blogger and your blog too. How to reach success, how to maintain it, these are two things which are hard to learn and practice too. I wished to highlight this with all bloggers. Also not just in blogging, we can learn from you to achieve success and maintain it in other fields of life also. 

Though we are sharing our thoughts on this forum, but I feel we improve as a person by Indifourm and that really has a great impact on real life too, which makes others feel beautiful...oh I am feeling senti.Hugs....madhuri bolne se beauty maintain karne ka tension ho jata hai..:p

@Hemal you are right, you know her habit to travel in kumbhamelas..but thanks to indi..we met again...

@DS you are right. We really grow, when we respect each other, encourage each other and spread love, indiforum is ideal for that...

DS
from Mumbai |

Mohini you too are ideal!!
LOL @ your Madhuri comment reaction!!

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Thanks Arti and Abhi for thinking me as inspirational and ideal, though I am seriously having guilt that, not doing much which I can do. Many people are dedicated for our culture in online world and my efforts are I feel very less in front of them.

About madhuri, lol tht's mai indi se jyada beauty pe focus ho gayi...:D

Arti
from Mumbai |

You made me senti too dear... aur yeh sab kya hai yaar? Like always, tum mujhe chane ke jhaad pe chada rahi ho :P

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Ok..then what about Madhuri. She is coming to India to meet a shock!

Arti
from Mumbai |

Lol! You were, are and will always remain the IndiStar of this forum, Miss Madhuri :-D you dont need to work on anything, just flash your beautiful smile, kafi hai :D

Arti
from Mumbai |

Kis liye?

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

Oh oh ho hoooo! Mohinee fulltu senti hann.... Superb!

Arti
from Mumbai |

@Mohini since I was on mobile that day, cudnt reply properly... hence doing it now...

You give me much more than I deserve... You are the most ideal blogger and person I have seen around. In an age where people don't miss even a single opportunity to brag abt themselves and self promote, here is an example of humility, modesty and greatness. You yourself have such a huge list of followers and comments. Amazing Alexa and maintain 4 blogs which is such a tedious task, still you are all always all praises for your fellow bloggers and always encourage them to give their best!

Lovely Mohinee... when I call you Madhuri, I am actually not joking.. I mean it... Smile

DS
from Mumbai |

Wow! What words Arti, so true... Its humility and humbleness which takes people places...

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Arti, I have added something more, so you can't say, I am saying more than  you deserve.

And about me, I don't think I am doing anything special or great as every thing is just what heart says. And of course, everybody I meet, I really feel I can learn a lot from them and it's all my process of learning.

About Madhuri, khubsurati pe compliment mile aur man me khushi ke maare laddu naa fute... aisa hoga kya!... so thanks thanks...mujhe bahut khushi hoti hai.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Mohini Puranik

Arti
from Mumbai |

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

It's fine, still I don't use mob for internet otherwise  I will get more addicted.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Little addiction to meet up with friends- Me especially :P is ok na? Use it sometimes atleast...

Arti

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

Mohinee aise active raha kijiye

Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |

Congratulations for all the 3 bloggers for their feats .  @Arti you rock !

Arti
from Mumbai |

Dhiraj, thank you so much and YOU rock too!

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Thanks Dhiraj...I always get confused between DS and Dhiraj Shenoy...

DS
from Mumbai |

Why Mohini?

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

D. S. and Dhiraj Shenoy same initials

DS
from Mumbai |

Ohk... But still...

DS
from Mumbai |

Chalega...

Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |

ha ha , don't worry DS , i'm not DS .

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

hahaha I have seen both at the same time so confusion over

Arti
from Mumbai |

Lol

abhin@v
from mumbai |

What if DS shifts to bangalore or vice versa ? :P

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Abhi, pls don't confuse my brain again......:p

Arti
from Mumbai |

More Lolzz

DS
from Mumbai |

@ abhi
Then even Dhiraj and I will be confused!!!

DS
from Mumbai |

More confusing will be if Dhiraj starts a cricket blog and I start I travel blog :P

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Hahaha, true!

DS
from Mumbai |

:)

Santosh BS
from Bangalore |

Dhiraj, change ur screen name to DS and that would be mighty sufficient I presume Wink

Dhiraj Shenoy
from Bangalore |

ha ha , good idea Santosh

DS
from Mumbai |

Baap re, then toh even we would be confused!!!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

How did you all get confused even though I wasn't involved in the discussion? Smile

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

At some point even I was confused between DS and Destiny Child...

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

How do we chnage our screen name? Is it possible? And can two people have the same name? And what if they have the same Gravataar too? And the same name for therir blog too.....

Santosh BS
from Bangalore |

I think its possible Ranjith, should be an issue... and I don't think 2 people can have the same name for their blogs (atleast the address have to be different as the blogger does not allow duplicates...)

Arti
from Mumbai |

How about swapping the gravatars Innocent

DS
from Mumbai |

@ Ranjith
Destiny Child profile is no longer active here!!

DS
from Mumbai |

Arti, that would be too much...

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Yes, arti, great idea . Go ahead with it DS, it would be worth to see the confusion :)

DS
from Mumbai |

Forget it abhi!!!
I hate so much confusion in life :P

abhin@v
from mumbai |

Hehehe, I know, DS, :)

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |

Bas bhi karo, pagal kar doge kya......

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

Lol, even i started wondering! I thot, why did DS change his display name! And that to with a mallu surname when he is a gujju! And then realized was just as confused... Fatak!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@ Santosh Yes, that isn't possible. But still we can confuse people with blog names that look similar. See, how people here got confused even when there is so much difference between DS and Dhiraj Shenoy... Smile

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@ DS Yes, I too have checked it a few days ago. I wonder why.... I never check out his blog at that time but some day I wanted to know the raeson behind that profile name but the profile was deleted.

In the beginning I thought that Destiny child was blogging on Cricketwise! Innocent

DS
from Mumbai |

I wonder what happened to his cricket blog, I tried to search it but could not find it even on google... Very strange!!

Leo
from Bengaluru |

If Hemal is Indiblogger's Don Bradman (as mentioned in a previous thread), I think Arti might be the Isinbayeva? Innocent

Arti
from Mumbai |

haha Leo, she is not bad Tongue out Will do Innocent Thanks hero sir Laughing

DS
from Mumbai |

Haha :):) Thats great thinking and comparison Leo :):)

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

Haha, now i understand why u choose that name! Makes sense...

Arti
from Mumbai |

Nice name ya, but Don ke saamne kuch bhi nahi :)

DS
from Mumbai |

Perhaps we should choose a more common and known name, what say@ Leo

Santosh BS
from Bangalore |

Congrats all!

Arti, you have sure a wonderful blog and no wonder its so popular amongst all and you too as an individual is very interactive, humble, travel enthusiast and friendlyLaughing

...and welcome to South India Laughing

Mohini Puranik

Ranjith

Life is a race. We keep running behind things all the time even though we know that we may not always reach the winning line. And so, it is necessary for us to get lazzzzzzy at times Smile

Mohini Puranik
from Dhule |
