... And You, with your fighting spirit are an inspiration to many! Keep Rocking, Akshay and thank you so very much :) Best wishes to you for a superfast speedy recovery! :)

Thank you Arti for your kind words. I am no inspiration... just surviving! :)

Yeah, just surviving.... with a fighter spirit, right? And that is what really matters!

Yahan tashrif laane ke liye dhero shukriya, Puru! It is always a joy to hear from one of the best travel bloggers around.. Dhanyavaad :)

Aap to mohtarma takkalluf kar rahi hain, iis nachhez ki itni tarrif na kijiye 

Takalluf nahin janab, sacchaai bayan kar rahi hun, Ek nayab heere ko uski chamak ka ehsaas karane ki choti si koshish kar rahi hun.

Thanks a lot Nagini, how nice of you to say that but I am 'just another' blogger :) All the very best to you too :-)

“Life isn't a matter of milestones but of moments” ~ Rose F. Kennedy

And this place makes it for me - full of priceless moments and special bonds that I'll always treasure... THANK YOU sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, dear

The moments of Milestones...:)

Ah, not my popularity but the love of kind hearted souls here :) and I wonder where is the third member of our team missing these days

Dhiraj is very busy of late, not seen him around for quite some time too!

Yeah, where is DS2 aka Dhiraj Shenoy? We used to discuss cricket here on the forum...

 I'm here only .

Replied after 7 years? 

Year or months my friend.

Sorry, months. 

Welcome back, Dhiraj.. so happy to see the team back in action!

DS, now its 4 years :)

my apologies, the 4th year starts now...!

@DS Thank you very much for your wishes :)

And what is this - Best travel blogger? You trying to create rifts between travel bloggers, eh? We travel bloggers from India believe in charting our own course and that makes all of us the best in our respective leagues. I feel proud to be one among them too

Thank you very much, CS!

Thank you, Anunoy!

And that is some wish!   But you left the most important part out of it --> Please also pray that I may be able to return from such frigid regions back to the normal ones

My blessings with you Arti

now anacondas can't swallow you... yetis can't can't escape your camera and... calamities will fracture their own jaws if they try to touch you

Now, now... nothing can beat that... never.   Thank you so much 

Mohini... this thread breathes in friendships, appreaciations, bonds, humility, joys, inspirations and motivations. I am deeply grateful to everyone here for sharing so much of their warmth with me, this place and its people are very special to me and will always remain so. Thank you once again for this priceless thread, Mohini. :)

Thank you, Akshay. Hope you are doing well and yes, please do keep blogging. 

Thank you very much, TF. Good wishes like these by kind hearted souls like you have been taking me places and with all of my blessings carefully collected by me... I believe, that day is not far when not only will I be travelling to the moon but also writing about it.

now see yourself! The Fool forgot to equip you with space suit before sending to the moon .... atleast you'll be armoured with my blessing while venturing to play with polar bears

haha, TF's wish is for an all expense paid trip to the moon which will include all the suits and all.. for free 

Thank you so much for your kind words, Manjulika.. and wish you the same. I am enjoying your travel posts too. Have a great time in europe and keep writing. :)

This is the first time I saw Arti's face.  In an interview on BlogAdda, she gave a photograph of her hair only. 

And Congrats Arti. 

.

.

Waiting to see my face in the newspaper. 

I second TF and Ranjith, Arti. Congrats

i had imagined arti to be an middle aged woman, she turned exact opposite  so nice to see her and also ganga

@ Nandini Once I said that Arti is probably 15-20 years elder to me. 

Congratzzz Artiji!!!

BTW, Lucifer that is a group photo man.... how to know which one is our Arti???? [disappointed smile]

anyway I always knew Arti was a little girl... can't you remember she went to Tokyo with her dad? [grin]

@AS Arti is in the photo other than the group photo - the one with Sunsilk / Tresemme / Dove hair. 

Rajni share the link dude...

@AS I think you are looking at some other post or you are confused.  This is the post and Arti's photo is marked in red below.

Thanks boy... yes I was seeing the group photo which was published in their site... Art actually turned out to be little elder than I had presumed... I mean she's not a little girl after all... sorry Arti ji [embarrassed smile]

BTW when shall I be able to see your face Rajni? [devilish grin]

@ AS Everyone can't be 15 year old kids. 

@ AS When we meet in heaven... 

Thank you, everyone 

Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes, TF. So nice of you to take some time out and bump this thread up. It's this thread, with good wishes of all good people like you.. that has been taking me places and I firmly believe, it always will. Thank you and about the picture, had to do a lot of self convincing to finally let it go.

@Ranjith: Thanks.  Missed your name though, I thought you would be giving me company, just like 'The Hindu'. Where did you disappear? 

@Nandini: Haha. I can understand ;) Thank you and so nice to see you here too. 

@Pankti: Thanks. 

Arti is in the photo other than the group photo - the one with Sunsilk / Tresemme / Dove hair.

Ranjith: ... And, the colgate smile. 

@Anunoyji: Nah, no need for a sorry. Just that, I'm a daddy's girl and not a little girl as you had presumed me to be. And yes, that is how I'll always be. 

@ Arti I didn't have access to internet ( I was too lazy to see if clicking the troubleshoot button restores my internet  ) for 2-3 days when I got that mail from swati. Replied late and missed the chance. 

nobody mails me!!! [cry cry n endless cry....]

AS, you are just 15. Wait till you become a bit older. 

Note to Arti : AS is not 15. He pretends. 

@Ranjith:   People (including me) would have so loved to read (and see) you, the shining star of the forum. Anyways, next time.. you better be there! 

Rajni now you're becoming judgemental [grrrrrrrrr]..........

@ SA 

Congrats Artiji . 

Thank you so much, Dhiraj. Your team has always been a wonderful inspiration to me just like so many of the others here. I feel truly blessed to have blogging friends like you. 

and now I feel (with my glasses on), you're not that older as I thought you in the evening [wrong judgement wala smile] !

Arti... don't you feel (i'm talking of the sense of hearing only right now ok?) 'Ji' matches nicely when put after 'Arti' but fails to blend with Anunoy 

Since you have asked me, my answer is 'No'.  I feel, my name sounds best without any add-ons. 

Ok now I must reveal the actual reason for adding a 'ji'... I've got a colleague with the same name who's highly a repulsive character but till then I've to address her by the name... so, wanted to.... hope you can understand my situation [helpless smile]

btw just checked, that link is not opening.. Dunno what the problem is.

Thank you so much DS for your constant support and encouragement.. I am so glad and thankful for this forum that we could all meet each other and interact in this way.. do keep us updated on your cricket commentaries.. love your write-ups :)

btw just checked, that link is not opening.. Dunno what the problem is.

@ DS When you are linking something, you should prefix it with either http:// or www. Otherwise, this editor will add www.indiblogger.in/ in front it. Strange editor! 

So, this is the link http://myyatradiary.blogspot.in/2013/07/inked-in-print-hindu-and-maharashtra.html 

Haha!! Pretty strange indeed!!

Probably Renie has done it in such a fashion so that link spamming can be reduced!!

Thanks Arti. I am back on my cricket blog. Trying to put up at least one post per week religiously now. And thanks Ranjith, did not know about that! Earlier it was not like this?

Thank you so much, Ritu. It feels amazing to be a member of a community where we all share and learn from each other. Each one of us, as bloggers are unique and inspirational in our own ways and that is what makes this community what it is. Loved your Pade initiative and the zeal with which you and Sfurti carried it out was amazing.. Wish you the very best in your journey as well :)
