Belated bloggiversary!

You didn't think I'd forget about this, eh? ;)

Last year, I posted a bloggiversary entry 9 days late, and this year I'm posting one 9/3 months late. It seems that I'm getting more irresponsible every year.....

Anyhoo, I guess it is time to relive the moment and cherish the memories of this blog. Sometimes counting the years and looking back at the bald beginning is a real mood booster because it gives a sense of (no matter how fake it may be) how far this blog has come.

So this year, in honor of this 2 year long journey of my blog, I am attaching links to some of my most popular blog entries! I know this is not much, but I feel that looking back in hindsight can give a sense of the distance I have covered as a blogger and you as a reader. Maybe these entries will give you a sense of what my blog is really about, though my perspective and style as a writer will face changes throughout the years and there is no telling of where this is heading.
But visit these pages or revisit them because they will surely be entertaining. This could almost be my virtual Christmas present to my readers!

You might want to begin with my very first blog entry- Thoughts. {I made a BLOG!}

Why we love the Medical Industry could be next- with around 500 page views since the beginning of time, this page alone steals the show.

Followed by Extreme Doodling* and Girls vs. Guys- Facebook accounts, in which the pictures are missing, but hopefully not the zeal.

Then we have the new 2014 superstars-

The 10 phases of my eyebrows where I ramble about the shifting hairstyles of the mini mane on my forehead.
A packet of chips where I riot against food corruption like the hero I am.
And Delhi's road etiquette where I lament the streets because that's where I'm from. Or feel like I'm from, because of the pathetic-ness of my city.

And finally, I spoke to people who agreed on a couple of all-time favorites-

Bonus- My doodles- Probably a much better Christmas present from last year.
The insightful Elephant in the room?
Just to join the 'witty club' (okay that didn't sound witty at all)- Fun Insults
And to add to the destruction of love and various positive emotions- V-Day Special.

So here you have it! The entirety of my blog in just one entry. If I were you, I'd bookmark this page and refer back to it just to remind myself how capable a writer I am. (I just needed to convince myself that this entry is not a result of my lethargy- how easy is it to simply add links to various old entries!- and flatter myself because of my recent blogging inactivity).

Also, my sincerest apologies for the unavailability of pictures in several entries. They got deleted due to some utter foolish incident that I quite honestly haven't been able to move past to this day. Sigh.

Other than all this official talk, I'd just like to add how awesome this journey of mine as a blogger has been, even if this year's journey was a little shorter. *cue beautiful sanguine melody* I have nevertheless managed to learn a lot through blogging, and just this idea of having a place where I can ramble how much ever I want without being confined to word limits, topics, or language (hell yeah b!tches) (I'm still meek don't worry), has been so liberating and I have enjoyed every moment of it. I can't wait to continue this wonderfulness next year! 

It's been 2 years! Beloved readers, if I have grown, thank you for watching and supporting me.

Yours truly,

The Comeback Entry- Explanations and lies.

Dear esteemed readers,

I have shamelessly abandoned my blog for an accurate 3 months with no useful entry whatsoever and for that, I'm sorry. This entry is yet another one of my useless entries (unfortunately for you), in which I'll attempt to explain my lack of blog activity, which would mostly consist of lies.

So here is a list of the possible reasons for why I haven't been blogging. You may or may not believe them all.

• Getting used to college- I have been drowning in work. If one assignment is finished 30 seconds before the deadline, another one has to be started (and completed) within the next fifteen hours. This could of course be blamed on my slacking nature, but it also has to do with the work we have and how busy I have been.

• Writing for other purposes- It is possible that my guilt for not blogging has been lessened due to my employing of similar skills in other fields. For instance, I have been writing for my university's blog. I have been writing for professors. I have been writing for competitions, etc. So it is possible that I must have been filling this void of not blogging by replacing it with other related activities. I know, I'm a terrible person, nothing can replace you blog!

• Short term language-memory loss- Due to an unfortunate accident (I ate too much paneer one night), I may have a glitch in my neurological functions which ceased any language or etymology to be remembered and propelled out of my vocal chords. As a result, I lost my ability to write or speak. I have been in the ICU for four days now. Today I'm feeling a little better so I asked one of the doctors to become my speakwrite and type this out for me.

• Herpes diagnosis- The initial excitement of college life led me to experiment with various reckless activities. One of those activities has resulted in my diagnosis with herpes, for which I am currently undergoing treatment. The disease freaked me out and caused sores in necessary areas, and therefore I have refrained from blogging.

• Writer's block- The past few months in college has forced me to confine my writing to academic and creative essays for which I require my textbooks and various other research methodologies. As a result, I have forgotten the simple task of blogging due to its informal and personal nature, and I can't think of much to say other than about Shakespeare's plagiarism, domestic sexuality, existentialist theorists, and a million other things that I can never kick out of my brain because they have been deemed unavoidable.

• Laziness- When I do get some free time from my busy schedule, I spend it doing reckless activities (refer to Herpes diagnosis point) or catching up on sleep. Sometimes I sleep for so long that I feel tired even after waking up, thus restricting my day's activities to eating, brushing my teeth, and sleeping again. The thought of doing something this productive is just suppressed beneath all this lethargy.

• Lack of access to internet- I have been travelling a lot in honor of my new profession as a photojournalist, which occurred soon as I discovered my unwarranted talent of taking pictures and my decision to stop attending college because I am a pro at what I do. Since my new profession and lifestyle requires a lot of travelling, I have to carry extra sanitary napkins and tampons, and survive without internet. 

• Avoiding on purpose- My abandoning of the blog is part of a furtive mission that shall only be revealed the second I figure out what it is. The mission demands 3 exact months of blogging inactivity so that's why I have been trying to achieve the same.

So yes, these are some of the reasons for my blogging inactivity. This is pathetic, I know. What has life come to. Nevertheless, I just want to let you know that I have been checking out my statistics and visiting this page every now and then, and I am thoroughly impressed that I still get an insane amount of page views everyday, despite my blog being generally crappy. So thank you for sticking around, loyal readers!

As I fake-promise in pretty much every entry, I'm going to fake-promise once again that I will try to blog as regularly as possible. However, I can not predict how much time I'll get so please, please remain hopeful of a new entry in case I do become inactive once again, and believe me, my ideas are at their prime, I do have a bunch of stuff planned but I just hope I'll get time to execute them in the best way possible in order to do justice to this brilliant blogging platform and my brilliant readers.

PS- How many/which of these explanations do you believe are true? Is it fairly obvious? Comment below 'cause I want to know! 

Much gratitude (and excitement for blogging again!),
