Year: Two

Monday, March 14, 2005

You have no idea how much I wish that I could give you an explanation of the ‘break’ I have had.

The problem is that I really don’t have any explanation. There were no beautiful things; the gharwalas had no Herculean tasks for me; I wasn’t going on any secret mission; there was nothing highly important going on. It was simply ulta seedha at its extreme. I was sitting in my room and going through the archives of this journal, and suddenly I found myself typing some lines and posting them here.

(You are forgetting me, son. I typed something too.)

That’s my sub-conscious again. It (he?) has now decided to italicise also whatever it/he writes.

Anyway, you might be wondering that how this break ended too soon. It’s quite unlike me, after all. In fact, this break is much shorter than some of the unannounced breaks I have had in the past two years.

Yep. Today Ulta Seedha celebrates its 2nd birthday.

And just like on the 1st birthday, here are some ultay seedhay facts again, about the second year:

The second year of this journal was slower. Lack of regular updates is obviously one of the reasons. To be honest, the thought of quitting blogistan often crossed my mind. But somehow I managed to go against it. And let me tell you, going against this thought would not have been possible without you.

Yes. You. The readers of this journal, who come here, actually read my random thoughts, and then care enough to comment on them. And I am such a stupid giraffe that I keep on taking ‘breaks’. (Okay fine. But you look miserable when you try to be sentimental.) I still don’t have any explanation, but I owe all of you a big note of thanks. So, thank you all. For inspiring me, for encouraging me, and for reading my ulti seedhi thoughts.

At the end of the first year, I had wondered if I would complete the second. Let’s now see if I can make it to the end of the third one.

WARNING: First few lines extremly sentimental.

*on her knees* *hands on face* *weeping* Oh, don’t, don’t, don’t ever think about leaving blogistan again!!

//end

Seriously, we don’t wish to lose another awesome blogger. ‘Rest if you must but do not quit.’

The statistics you’ve posted are, hehe, highly interesting and amusing. Looks like 142857′s your lucky set of numbers (can we call it a set? mind my maths, lol).

And happy birthday to your blog. May it see many more updates for many years to come and may it win awards and all. Ameen. :)

Virtuous Lady: *wipes his tears* That was really sentimental! But thanks for a lot for the encouraging words :) And nopes, that’s not a ‘set’ of my lucky numbers. (Think hard, you are studying Math courses nowadays!)

Dinky Mind: Check the stats for the first year … my shortest break for that was of 25 minutes! And thanks for the gift. And don’t worry about the wrapper.

Asma: Thanks! Round karna becharay computer ki majburi thi!

Jogia: Yeah man. A whole new year of ulti seedhi batein.

Moiz: Khair mubarakan! And how about a break? ;)

Saady: Thanks, man! :)

AoA,
I’m tempted to say nice post ;) , but I won’t :D

Congrats on making it through two years without running out of things to say, may you have two more.

And your sub-conscious has a little attitude problem, you shouldn’t let it talk to you like that…

(By the way, this is not my sub-conscious, it is just me writing in paranthesis for some reason. My stupid sub-conscious is not even computer literate *jahil*)…
:cry: , in case you didn’t get that, that was for the sentimental portaion :P

And @WiaN, nice observation man!!, I actually made a mathematical series out of the 857142 sequence :$

Keep writing man,
Ciao

Sadiya: Thanks a lot :) And yep, it’s my blog and my life. But you’d agree that it helps to be a little courteous at times.

NJ: Thanks a bunch :) It sure is all about self expression.

Moiz: Thanks, man!

Shirazi: Showpiece of Pakistan blogosphere? I am flattered! Thanks!

Akvetcher: Good to see you here after a long time! Yep, time flies. Thanks for the duas :)

VLady: A bunch of numbers they are, with a little property. See below.

Dinky Mind: No need to get embarrassed, sis. In fact, it’s my place to get embarrassed that I can’t maintain this record (is it a record, by the way?)

WiaN: You are close :) And that PI thing hadn’t come to my mind either. But it’s really much simpler than that. See below.

Fallen Angel: You really did yourself a great favour by not saying ‘nice post’! Yeah, my sub-conscious has a lot of attitude. It/he often drives me crazy through its/his ramblings. (I am a he, goddamnit!). Keep your sub-conscious the way it/he is, but let it/him learn something and remove its/his jahil label because sub-consciouses can be a great help sometimes. (Glad you acknowledge that). No need of shedding tears for the sentimental part though, I’ll really get sentimental then. But thanks for the wishes :) And how did you make a mathematical series out of 857142? See below.

*This is below*

The figure is simply a non-terminating and repeating decimal, with 857142 being the repeating part, which is rounded off because of the limited computational power of Windows’ calculator. Simple, huh? (Silly too.)
