2010 review, blogging

This had to be posted for keepsakes… the year in review at the blog….

The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:

The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads Wow.

Crunchy numbers

The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 84,000 times in 2010. If it were an exhibit at The Louvre Museum, it would take 4 days for that many people to see it.

 

In 2010, there were 217 new posts, growing the total archive of this blog to 588 posts. There were 356 pictures uploaded, taking up a total of 424mb. That’s about 7 pictures per week.

The busiest day of the year was August 18th with 567 views. The most popular post that day was Drink, Play, F@#k.

(I write this blog and the max hits on the day when I had a guest post from N, sigh)

Where did they come from?

The top referring sites in 2010 were abouttimenow.blogspot.com, Google Reader, google.co.in, mammamiameamamma.blogspot.com, and labnol.org.

Some visitors came searching, mostly for monikas world, monikamanchanda, elton john, mp amol arte, and camera.

2010 recap, 2010 review, ads

Typically you would normally find me talking about the ads I hate in fact that is how I started writing this post but than I though let me do something different instead 😀 So here are the ads I loved in 2010

This is my latest love and whats not there to love, what creativity

Some shadow play some more happiness and there is Imran Khan too 😉

Teenagers who look like u and me would have once upon a time… phew a relief 😀

This is what is needed isn’t it?

Brilliant Brilliant concept and brilliant execution… this one will truly make u say “What an idea sirji 😉 “

How cute is this one

Resolutions 2010 – A Review

Tags

2010, 2010 recap, 2010 review, resolutions 2010

Its time to do the most important review of the year, the resolutions review 🙂

• First one was lose weight and I have failed miserably there, I think out of the 15kg that I wanted to lose I have gone down just a mere 3 kgs… I can give many reasons, the neck, the knee, the BP etc etc but the fact is that I havent been able to make it 😦
• Read Read and Read: I had set myself a target of 35 books and I am proud that I read 62 books this year 🙂 make me happy
• Start something of my own or get back to job : I did try and start something on my own and realised that I am not made for it, I did start freelancing too so I guess this would be a tick too 🙂
• Manage Finances : yes we both made ourselves very proud here, only loan left is the home loan and we are managing everything else very well too 😀 I guess it took beating last year because of the single income and now with a little freelancing money its beginning to look better and I hoping to get back to work soon too
• Learn to deal more patiently with Ojas : I would say partly succeed, I am much more patient with him than I was before… much more… I still lose my temper sometime but I guess one cant be a saint right
• Get my messy house in order : haa I think I will give up on this one…. I cant keep a house in order thats just not me, its one activity I give least priority to somehow in my list of things to do… Dont know why but I guess I am like that

so in total of 4/6 not bad I would say though the biggest and the most important point 1 should have been met 😦 but this year for sure

Music which I loved

Tags

2010, 2010 recap, 2010 review, music, songs

Music makes life sweeter isnt it? So lets talk about your favorite music of 2010… for me like in movies Ishqiya rocked in music too… I love all the tracks or the movie and many many days they have been playing on loop in this part of the town 🙂

Love love all of them whether its the softness and the love in Dil tou bacha hai ji

or the very folky very peppy Ibn-E-Batuta

or the one that displays the sheer magic of rekha bhardwaj… Badi Dheere Jali

Every song of ishiqya is a masterpiece

The other song that I loved in this year was Gal Mitthi Mithie Bol from the movie I hated Aisha, I cant wait for my cousin’s wedding in Feb where I will be dancing away to it 🙂

I can remember many more but I will leave it to you come on lest make the page musical, go on add your favourite songs of 2010 in comments… tell me which ones make you go hmmmm, which ones made you dance and which ones touched your heart 🙂

WishList 2010 : A Review

Tags

2010, 2010 review, wishlist

As I said in my last post time to take stock of the last year and here is the wishlist review 😉

The drive to Leh and back – didnt happen didnt happen 😦 but next year its happening for sure 🙂

My plain white dinner set or tableware – ufffff didnt happen again 😦 but for this I have a good enough reason, in the current house we have very less storage space infact most of my old crockery is still packed so there is no chance of buying a new one

A good camera – yes yes I did buy a camera, its not a SLR but its a good cannon camera and is serving me well

The all girls vacation – This is my biggest tick of the year 😀 the all girls Goa trip was the years highlight

so 2/4 in the wishlist is not bad… how has the year been with u for wishes? did u get all u wanted?
