A Tinge of Narcissism

So boys and girls, uncles and aunties; I’m back!! In case you have not noticed my absence [ ] I was busy giving tests over last few days and I have read very few posts during that time. Even if I did, I may not have commented at that time. So if you are missing my comment (I hope so!) on your post, I will read it asap and comment soon. Few exciting things also happened during this time which encouraged my blogging confidence and I was itching to write a post expressing my gratitude with just a tinge of narcissism.

# 1. My post on the different categories of students in any class, with a title sounding like a chapter of biology textbook “Classification of Students” got featured on DesiPundit.com. Thank you so very much Lekhni, for considering my post worthy enough to be contributed to DesiPundit.

# 2. A very old blogger (not age wise!) with like 513 readers reading his blog feed and a faculty of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Abi (or Mr. T. A. Abinandanan) has mentioned me and two of my posts – “Education Boom or Education Doom?” and “All In A Day’s Work” in his post about links. Thank you very much Sir for taking the time to read my posts and finding them worthy of mention.

# 3. They say “any publicity is good publicity”. A blogger named Harmonic Guru copied the Abi’s post mentioned above and posted in his/her blog. I was amazed at this sort of plagiarism. But I remembered the quote. However now the blog author has deleted the blog. So I can’t provide the link.

# 4. Dinesh has this other blog which is a bookmark of the blog posts that he has found interesting and he bookmarked my post on the controversial LHC experiment in his blog. Thank you so much!

# 5. This one is old news but I wanted to express my gratitude to Unmana for selecting both of my posts – “The Undesirable Child” and “Lost Love and Fair Skin“- which I’d submitted as my entries and for featuring them in the 60th Carnival of Feminists held at her blog in July 2008. Thank you.

# 6. Roop awarded me the Brilliant Weblog Award and described me as “Always lively, upbeat, and strikingly honest” in her post. Thank you so much dear!! I’m flattered.

# 7. Lastly, Vishesh awarded me not one but two awards in his post. Here are the awards and I’m supposed to pass this on to other bloggers.
