DEAR ALL

A pleasant surprise! Last evening, while
going through the sources of the visitors on my blog, I found that one of them
has been redirected from a website called topindiablogs.com.
Sensing something, I went to the site and found my blog www.aboutreading.blogspot.com
listed among the top ten blogs under the 'Books' section in India. The website
is promoted by indiblogger.com,
the biggest directory of Indian blogs which has currently given my blog the
ranking of 61 in the scale of 1-100.
Needless to say, I was suitably pleasantly
surprised.
I do not know what does it mean but
it is always good to be noticed, even though my blog is nothing but a private,
personal space taken by me in public to share views on books and reading through
socio-literary criticism, poetry, culture of book exhibitions and many other
intertwined aspects! (this reminds me of one of those minor but sensitive love
poems of Eliot, wherein he says, 'these are my private words spoken to you in
public")...
Thanks a lot for all your support, co-operation and
encouragement and, of course, comments! for promoting this non-commercial,
purely personal initiative!!
Best and HAPPY ‘ACTIVE’ READING’!!

Hi! thanks. You know because of the obvious reasons (being in govt sector), I can not go commercial, but can push its non-commercial angle as its USP!
