You discover a blog… go awwwwwwwww reading post after post. Then write a heartfelt comment… a longish one at that. Wait for the comment to be approved and to appear on the blog! Wait over… the comment appears; but mystery of mysteries… there’s no reply to the said comment! Not even an acknowledgement of sorts 😦 This, when there is a reply to all the comments before and after the said comment. This … is what stupefies me!!
And yes.. this has happened to me more than once! I totally fail to understand why!! 😯 I dont think i’m unreasonable in expecting a reply. Am I? If so, please someone enlighten me! And.. though i hop over to read their blogs once in a while, i do not leave a comment… even when the post is too good or too touching. May not be the right thing to do 😦 But sigh! some things do put me off terribly… at times 😕
But thankfully, this is just minuscule in comparison to all the support and friendship that i have received in this blog world. Seesh!! Then, what am i doing dwelling on the trivial stuff? Not me… not done… not at all! 😳
So here i go… and cheer myself up 🙂 Presenting to me… 2 lovely blog awards! The blogger buddy award from Sweet Swaram 🙂 … yay! glad to be your buddy Swaru!!
And Beautiful blogger award from the lovely Swati of MyAmusingMind!! thanks a ton Swati 🙂
And in true blogger spirit, spreading the cheer to these beautiful people who enrich my life with their tales and creations!
* Shankari of Naradtales
* Momo’s ma of Mehek – the fragrance in our lives
* Trishna of My Sunshine
* Shilpa of Smile…it costs you nothing 🙂
* My sis 1 who has recently started commenting here! She doesnt write… just reads my blog… encourages me… and gives me some fodder for Adi posts 🙂 So..she is a blogger too 😉 wat say?
So, its three cheers to blogging and yay to all the bloggers who spread the love and cheer 🙂
P.S: I hope Swaram and Swati wont want to whack me for such a late response to their lovely gesture 😉
Priya, u said all that I feel abt the comments sometimes. I mean, ppl take time out to leave comments and u need to show that u value them 🙂 I lurk on some such blogs too 😛 I value them as writers but if there’s no interaction, I better nt be a part of the comment section 🙂
Thanks for putting them up here 🙂

Oh wow! What a post to wake up to 🙂 Thanks so much Priya!!!
I am totally with you on the not commenting bit. I bloghopped for close to 3 years before I started writing my blog. When I started bloghopping initially, I would comment like crazy on an post(I still do..but that’s another story 🙂 and wait like the Pavlonian dog for a response from the author of the post. Sometimes I would get a response and I would be hooked onto that blog and sometimes there would be no response. I do still go and read once in a while, but there is no enthu left to comment there!

I guess people who have more than 100 comments for each post find it difficult to reply to each. but yes, if I’m new to the blog, I feel a bit upset if my presence isn’t acknowledged. I usually lurk after that too 😀
