Know Me Some More!

by ⋅ 82 Comments

I have already been saying so many things about myself and my family in my blog much to the dismay of hubby. Yet, it looks like some people still want to know more 🙂. So here I go at this tag that has been lying pending for a while now. I am being boring and not passing on the tag to anyone else. Most of the people have already done it. However, if any of you feels like it, go ahead and take it up. 

With a deep breath, here are my answers:

Bikram Mann, my friend, of  Me and My Random Thoughts had tagged me

My dear friend, Destiny’s child of The Chronicles of my Destiny had tagged me. Thanks for the sweet poke, girl. Here are your answers:

1)Your most beautiful post
That lovely Mother’s Day!
My mother
Dear Daddy!

All because they are very close to my heart and talk about the special people in my life.
2) Your most popular post
See the right hand sidebar, and you will see them in the order of pageviews :). Foot in the mouth is my most popular post with over 3000 page views!
3) Your most controversial post 
Go Generic!  and  Loud IndianI got me hate mail as well as spammy comments on these posts.

4) Your most helpful post 
My fight for my BBMP khata

RTI — An extraordinary tool!

I still get email queries for both of these.

 

5) A post whose success surprised you. 
The most popular post mentioned above surprised me. I could not figure out why it was so much in demand compared to so many better posts that I’ve written.

 

6) A post you feel didn’t get the attention it deserved
All my initial posts! I have always been writing irrespective of traffic :).

 

7) The post you’re most proud of 
I really am proud of all my posts! I put in emotions in each post.

 

Umashankar Pandey of One Grain Amongst the Storm had tagged me recently

 

Which is your own favourite post(s)?

All my posts about my family, but this one is extra special: My knight in shining armor!

 

Which are your favourite posts by others?

You have to see them on my FB page. I regularly put up posts that I have found appealing and those that speak nicely about me ;-). And, if you haven’t yet liked the page, you’d better :).

 

What would you do if you were barred from blogging?

Put up the posts on Facebook :).

 

If you were to be limited to just 5 music albums for the rest of your life, which ones would they be?

Digital music is a godsend. I can survive on radio too.

 

If you were to be limited to just 5 authors for the rest of your life, which ones would they be?

It will spell doom in my life, as I like to read all authors and all genres.

 

(Didn’t I say five?) Correct. You may frame one question of your own choice and answer that.

 

Who is the sharpest observer you know?

My youngest son, Gautam; he comes up with some intensely funny observations.

 

So, there I’ve managed it. I have added the tag that I missed out on courtesy a sweet reminder from my friend. So, I finally have tackled all the questions ;-). Hope you had fun! Yippee I am done :).

    Getting to know you better is wonderful, Rachna. I’m not sure what the details of the incident concerning your sons are – but it sure sounded scary! ♥

    • Rachna on August 9, 2012 at 11:26 am said:

      Thanks so much Corinne! Thanks for your warm words about that incident. It happened two years ago, and I still can’t thank my lucky stars enough that both of them are safe and with me. The panic I experienced in those short hours is something I’ve never felt in my life for anything. Feels like a horrifying nightmare to even think about it.

      Should I be worried? He was in the inside room when you came. He gets overexcited on meeting strangers, so I normally allow only pet lovers to interact with him :).

    Blogging is infectious isn’t? Mine started as just a diary for my vegetable plot and has moved into quite a different realm now.

    I try not to blog about my family too much – only because I know they don’t like it – but I think I also try to tackle some controversial topics just to provoke some interesting debates.

    Always find your blog interesting.
