Aunty,
This blog wouldn’t be possible without support from you. I am too shy to let anyone know that I even have a blog. It is because of supporters like you that this blog has become so popular. Thanks for everything from my heart.
I really can’t express it in words.
Thanks, Aunty.

Sarada,
I realize the power of silent readers as well. It is because of them as well that this blog has reached 2.8 million visitors. Thanks to you as well.

Meera, You are right.
Here, I remember the lines of the famous Kannada poet Dr. da.raa. Bendre.
(ಡಾ.ದ.ರಾ.ಬೇಂದ್ರೆ)
ನಾಲಗೆಗೆ ನಿಲುಕದಾ ನುಡಿಗಳುಂಟು
ನುಡಿಗಳಿಗು ನಿಲುಕದಾ ಭಾವವುಂಟು
ಭಾವಗಳ ಬೀಸುಬಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ದೊರೆಯದೆ ನುಸುಳಿ
ದಾಟಿರುವ ನೈಜ ಬೇರೊಂದು ಉಂಟು
ಹೀಗೆಂದು ಕೇಳಿದೆನು – ಎಂದ ಮೇಲೆ
“ಮೌನಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾತುಂಟೆ?”
ಉಂಟು, ಉಂಟು!
My sincere regards to the silent redaers.
- Bhavana
