You know how you feel when one of the most indispensable parts of you fails??? Ok, not so serious that it goes into physical inability but its my specs. Imagine the horror I felt when I saw a crack in one of the lens!!! Its not a nice thing for a person who wears only specs, has a bad spare which gives headaches and feels like a tonne on the nose and lands you right back into the ancient ages!!! I feel like a grand mom wearing my spare.
Yeah, so, I had to run immediately to the near by specs store and hopefully, he would give back my specs by evening (post writing time - 5:45). So, that was the gloomy part of it but every cloud has a silver lining, right??? I get to buy a new frame, yay!!! Of course, when you are pinching and saving, your money goes down into some expense which is completely unavoidable.
So, the summary of the story - get new specs, don't pinch and scrape, spend!!! And, sorry for no beauty post. I am not feeling inspired. Hopefully, should feel by tomorrow :D Btw, do you have something so indispensable in your life???
Update: I got my specs back in perfect form :D And, I got my first google adsense check. And, my blog's page views crossed 150,000 last month. And, I am just 6 to 500 fb fans!!! I know the stats aren't much to boast about but I am proud of them. So, I wanted to announce that a small giveaway is in the offing when fb fans turn 500. So, guys, like the page below if you haven't yet. And, let me warn you beforehand that it will be a very small giveaway. And, just noticed, this is my 751st post :)

Deleteoh ohh! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new specs :D, on crossing 1,50,000 views, on 6 short of 500 fb fans and on your 751th post :)
Blogging is definitely not easy and these stats are quite encouraging...
and this is something I wanted to say for quite sometime...this is the right post to say I guess... the way u choose pics for your posts makes me wonder if you choose the pic first and then write the post... they are so
apt...a pic adds a lot to what has been written...it just completes the whole thing
Keep up the good job!
thanks Padmaja :) yeah, I am kind of excited and really happy to see so many people reading a completely useless and personal post and commenting :D
Deleteyeah, the stats are really encouraging and they keep me going....its all happening after 2 n half years :)
haha...no, I write first and then, choose the pic according to what I have written coz I sometimes digress a lot and many posts come from that digressing habit :D
btw, I wanted to ask you something which I am not able to recall :(
I didn't buy the specs yet...have to hunt down for the right frame first...way too much hard work in that!!!
DeleteOhh! do recall and ask :)
DeleteI am happy I discovered this useless blog ;) all thanks to Kama ;)
Hey, by the way the other day I took a glance at your other blog :)
Ohh..I thot you ordered one... Ya...hunting for new frame is quite hardwork
Deletehaha...yeah Kama is useful for something :D oh really, its just full of quotes right now. I really love collecting quotes and lost a complete collection coz my friend's hard disk crashed. he had my old dump :( then, I thought I would rather write it in a blog :)
DeleteI hope I get a good frame and then post it on the blog :D Ansh asked me to some day's back!!
congos swati. google adsense is rejecting my application. Chitika is not working properly so i dont know wat to do :(
ReplyDeletethanks Vanu :) yeah, chitika paid me well last year but this year, its just not working properly so I removed it. even my application got accepted after a long time....even if your blog is visited by spam, the app is rejected :( wait for 6 months or a year and clean up your blog in between is my idea and promote it in only legitimate places!!! don't sign up for blog directories...they do nothing except increasing your page load...hope that helps :)
DeleteAwww the specs :* You know when I was in 8th grade, I faked headaches to get specs :P I LOVED them though I didn't have to wear :D Glad to know you have got it back :D
ReplyDeleteAnd honey, congratulations on Adsense :D I need some help with that :O Shall I email you?
Love,
Namita <3
hey Namita...sure, you can mail me anytime :) waiting for it!!!

DeleteCongrats swathi!! encouraging stats do inspire you :) keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeletethanks Tanmayee :)
DeleteCongrats Swati... and 751th post? that's so huge...I crossed 200 recently and feel like giving up at times but as you said, the stats acts like a motivator :)
ReplyDeletehey Pooja...don't :) that's my only advise :D I have been blogging for 2 n half years and now, I am getting some decent stats...of course, they increased gradually!!! so, it does take time :) so looking forward to your pumped up posts :D
DeleteHi Swati, I know what you mean...this happened to me on Sunday morning..my spectacles fell from my head (did a stupid thing really) and the lens broke.. and my heart sank..coz I had to go back to wearing my old pair which I now hate (I think they make me look older..vain!) Anyways had to wait 2 days before I got mine back.And now I am more careful and cherish the pair even more (if that makes sense)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the milestone and as someone mentioned already it high time we put a face to the blog. :)..All the best
hey Renuca...oh my gosh...when I first read the comment, I thought you fell on your head and you are worrying about specs??? then, I read it again...yeah, same thing...mine feel from the table and it keeps falling everyday, you know!!! not like the first or second time. never breaks but when you need it most, it will surely ditch you :D I know even my spare makes me look aunti :( that's why going to hunt for a new frame tomorrow :D if I had ordered a new specs, then, the lawrence and mayo guys take a week!!! imagine?? two days is way better.
Deletehaha Renuca...do cherish it :) me too hope to get one which I shall cherish :D :D
Deleteregd the snap, I know and frankly, even I want to give my blog a look and a face now :) but, give me sometime to adjust with the change :) I was already thinking of something so hope it works out!!
i too got my first adsense cheque..feels so good na!
ReplyDeleteyay, Ansh...lets go to Sarojini and thrift :D :D
