All good things must come to an end. And so must this blog. This is my last post on this blog. Bye ThoughtfulChaos.

This has been my first seriously maintained blog and it has been active for close to a year and a half. I have enjoyed blogging here but now it is time to say adieu. What better time than the New Year’s Eve.

There are no specific reasons for doing this. Well, there are many minor reasons but no single major reason. I have made quite a few friends through this blog and have blogged about many a topic. This blog started out as a platform for my opinions on everything under the sky but pretty soon it turned into just a personal diary read by my Dad, a few close friends and a few more.

There just might be one more post after this but don’t bank on it. Bye for now.

I have a feeling of déjà vu....

Wait a sec! I did something like this with my blog once, and weren't you the one who asked me not to? :-)

Let me quote you -

I sure hope this is some silly stunt on your part to get people to comment on this blog (I have thought of doing this 100s of times)

Is this one of those times? Tell me it is, or if isn't, do change your mind!

Ha ha

And I distinctly remember that I did not get any reply to that comment of mine :-)

Nope, this is the end.

Btw which one is more nerdy: blogging at around 11:30 PM on New Year's eve or commenting at 12:21 PM on the first day of the New Year? :-)

Ah...but I did

Ah...but I did reply...indirectly - I got a new blog, right?

I'm a supporter of the 24hr notation of time-representation. It's 12:21 AM, not PM... :-)

I guess blogging at 23:30 and commenting at 00:21 are almost equivalent. Both point to insomniacs. :-D

You are right

You are right. You did reply to it indirectly and what a reply it was. Not only a new blog but a blog coded by the blogger himself. Very geeky!

I prefer to use the word "nocturnal creature" and not insomniac. Insomniacs worry about not getting sleep at night, whereas we are proud of our ability to stay awake into the wee hours !

Hi Varun,

True that you may not find time to blog regularly. But you should continue to post your thoughts when you get free time. Your blog is interesting to read.

Have a good time ahead.

All Good Things

All Good Things must come to an end my friend, am sure it has been a good experience and a good journey for you....

Really?

So you have brought down this blog from this domain. What about stuff on other domains that you own?

You could post once in a blue moon when you have nothing else to do like what I do with mine.

I have a couple of blog entries in my mind for the past one month. I will post them when I'm back in Delhi after this assignment.

Just update which other domains should we knock looking for you.

Hi, we would like to invite you to participate in our study on blogs and relationships. Sorry for using such an inappropriate medium but I was unable to locate your contact details on your blog. We are a team of undergraduate students from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

Your participation in this study is voluntary and you may withdraw from the survey at any point. However, your participation is very important to the study and we hope you will complete the survey. We also hope you can help us publicise this in your blog and get your friends to participate as well.
