and other bloggers.

If I havent included your name, it would be because I didnt expect you to read this blog, and would have thought, hmmm I can get away with it. After all if I started writing the name of every blogger who has once commented it, will look like a telephone directory. Ha so in 2006, comment more on my blogs. Err just kidding, am sorry. Its actually no big deal, And wish you a Happy New Year.

For those who read it couple of days after New Year and feel guilty for not wishing me:) Relax its ok, we cant have perfect memories(and next year I am sure you would be equally understanding:D) And I prefer you any day over the bloggers who send me group emails.
Email id is still sacred to me, and I dont want to be included in every address book which the email goes to, however incredibly stupid it might seem.

And now that I have I irritated most of the readers, a review of Wise Donkey. Not the life of Gayathri E, just the blog wise donkey. If you are my regular, you can pretend to have read it, continue the last minute egreetings and make plans for celebrating the new year.For the rest who have nothing else to do, or who have been punished by the HR who finally read my description but decided to cheat me of the consultation fees.
Here it comes.

O3 status : Aah now the time to exit o3 again, after wishing all the bloggers including men Happy Women's Day of course. The reason, well I had come back to o3, because some of my friends wanted to. But when I realised that comments are made not based not the blog, but the blogger. It was time to walk again off in a huff.
And then when I heard about TOI's lawsuit against a blogger. Back in o3, under the name Aargh to talk about it. And then wrote some entries, to bring back bloggers to that blogger, then decided to admit, who was Aargh. And then later turned Aargh into a fictional series.
The Aargh resembled the Wise Donkey(when incognito in o3) personna. Gender neutral and slightly brutal:D
So on o3, out

And thats it ! Not that painful, see.

I honestly dont believe its possible for a single soul to have read the post, and the contents of every link. If there exists one, do let me know. And Thanks for reading, appreciate it:)

Will be going on another trip so perhaps wont be blogging for couple of months. Then there is another trip in March till May. So not sure how much I would be blogging in 2006.
Blogging had a big impact on me personally. That what happens when you call yourself a Stay at Home Blogger. I spent time and money (tel bills ) and energy over it. And managed to come up with remarkable excuses for burnt food.

This year's resolution is to blog less, lets see if I can keep it up:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

for those who have fallen asleep
Wake up Wake up
