Just a number, but still ! 

I've discovered, somewhat to my astonishment, that I've posted a hundred and fifty times here. Of course, many of these are one-liners :-) Nevetheless, I am somewhat surprised that I've had so much to write about! Anyway, thanks for reading :-) Since I love quotes, lemme close this post with a few I like  -

It might be a good idea if the various countries of the world would occasionally swap history books, just to see what other people are doing with the same set of facts.
-Bill Vaughan, journalist

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.
-W.H. Auden, poet

Woodman, spare that tree! / Touch not a single bough! / In youth it sheltered me, / And I'll protect it now.
-George Pope Morris

The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead.
-Robert Brault, software developer, writer

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.
-Woody Allen

Nice! Congratulations :). May you never be bitten by the dreaded writer's-block-bug, and may the 150 soon turn into 1500!

Karthik said...

Neeraja,
Thanks ! Its taken me six years to get to 150 ! At this rate, I'll need a few lifetimes to get to 1500:-) But I am posting more frequently in the last few months, so my next target is 200:-)

Congrats !! It's not the length of a post that matters but rather the depth of it. You have a very nice style of writing without many embellishments. Keep writing!!

Nice quotes btw. I started reading your blogs after I checked out the quotes section first :):)
