"Finally. After months of procrastination based on my inability to agree upon a title for the blog, here it is. The blog, that is. There is a title too, but it isn't witty by any means. How long could I have continued without doing this? The "Shoot for the moon" theory wasn't working for me. This is much better. I have decided not to fly to the moon. I will jump off the table and land on my two feet on my carpetted floor. Lets see where the baby steps lead."
Thus began my blogging journey exactly a year back. What started as an experiment has blossomed into a full-fledged engagement. I have got to know some truly interesting and smart people over the year, inspired some to start their own blogs, discovered periodically how much I enjoy writing, struggled with the medium like everyone else, and all in all, had a lot of fun. I also met a few long lost friends through the blog, had about 10,000 visits to my site, and was suitably humbled by the sheer magnitude and ability of fellow bloggers. I have also enjoyed the creation of a space and a world that is entirely my own. I spent some time revisiting my blogs from day 1 (you can do it too if you have the time and inclination), and I can see the evolution of a better writing style and clarity of thought. I also enjoyed seeing at what point the 'regulars' to this blog joined in. The first year is probably the toughest. That is of course till you start the second :-)
Stay tuned for more updates as the journey continues. Solilowkey is low key no more! Happy Birthday, dear blog.
P.S> I am on work-inflicted break right now, hence the posts are far and few in between

Happy Bloggie B'day!!!!
And what a year it's been! Happy Birthday bloggy. I like to think of myself as a privileged member, who got to be along for the ride! I still remember the first time I went to your blog - in fact you noticed me first! Through Kamat.org? You left a comment on my post about the Death of the Maruti 800...

Keep blogging, and if not, at least go into the Tag-Line business. You could sell Blog Post Titles to people!
Thanks for your wishes guys. Tarun, I think you might be accurate about how I landed on your blog. I'll bear in mind your idea of the Tag-line business :-) In fact, I'll show them your multiple referrals for the same.
Looking forward to years of great read!
