Coming from an area that has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world, your Tarantula has every reason to celebrate its one year of survival so far, having announced arrival on blogosphere on 23 September 2009 at 22.30 IST. It happens to be an Equinox day. Does is portend anything? This is 75th baby step in the form of posts in both the Political and Apolitical blogs combined. Transitioning now from infancy to a toddler?
Present day life is almost entirely governed by Politics in one form or other. At first sight it appears that two blogs titles are one too many and one alone suffices. After all, arachnids weave two types of gossamer threads but tread only on one without getting entangled in the other! Authors are a stubborn lot and your budding blog-author Tarantula is no exception: desires to segregate political ones from not so political and hence the Apolitical blog too.
There is nothing in the world that pleases all; it is also true of these posts and some of them drew criticism. Healthy criticism is democratic and we shall honor and agree to disagree.
Incidentally, this happens to be the 75th post (44th under Apolitical and there are 31 in Political), which makes this a sort of Platinum posting!
Thanks a zillion for the nourishment supplied by you in the form of encouragement.
Wish Tarantula will continue with many many very productive and very informative incisive reports for a very very long time not just a century or a thousand but many more!
ReplyDeleteWish Tarantula a very exciting life
Happy Birth Day Tarantula!
ReplyDeleteDone well in pickingup right subjects at right times. We wish that our politicians will give sufficicient fodder for Tarantula to thrive.

Tarantula is happy to survive on the nourishment of reader's encouragement; he is afraid of tainted "fodder".
ReplyDeleteWay to go..
ReplyDeleteBeen following the arachnid since its birth with friendship and camaraderie and I rejoice equally on the first anniversary.
Weave away non acerbic, non caustic gossamer threads like the ones you do lately and I wish you the best, tarantula.
Happy birthday and Many happy years of blogging
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and congratulations for getting highlighted by Sulekha multiple times. May your diatribe increase!
