Century and Not Out

Confused with the title? This is not Sachin Tendulkar who writes about his 200* in the recent ODI series Vs hapless SA. Its me, yours truly writing her 100th post. The fact is, I never dreamed of writing my 100th post when I started blogging. But it happened today. With 105 followers, 99 posts already in my kitty, 6100+ comments, what else would I ask for? It was a dream run for me. I got so many best buddies through this blogging world. Its just evident from the new avatar you are witnessing in my blog. Yes the template! The Header of this blog is created my the Kiddie boy (Sid) and the template was re-designed completely according to my wish by my best buddy KK of Technoalley. Am exuberant, elated, excited and really feel honored. Thank you so much for extending your support and encouragement in this blogging world.

My 50th post was fully filled with awards. So, I thought I could repeat the same here too. But I wanted to do something different. Really different. So planned 3 things. One - A beautiful poem from an excellent poet, Two - What my blogger buddies felt about Hits and Misses in their journey, a review and Third - Awards. So lets start unveiling things before it could get so late.

Am really proud to announce the guest blogger for this grand occasion, Leo- The Poet churns beautiful realistic poems in a jiffy. When I asked him a poem for my 100th post, He told he will give me soon. But when I checked my Inbox an hour later, I was literally shocked to see this wonderful poem which he wrote on my perspective. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and read it.

Words From the Poet : A hundred hits young this blog is today. I’ve not traveled much with Anamika (that’s what I call her) on her journey, yet we’ve become good friends already in our short yet interesting trip so far. Hits and Misses is where I come when I want to read a wonderful 55 fiction. It’s her forte I feel. I was just chatting with her earlier when she told me her 100^th post was nearing. I thought it’d be a fantastic 55 fiction maybe, but she asked me to guest post instead. So here I am, The Amateur Poet, in this very professional and beautiful blog, adding my voice to its many hits. (I don’t think there have been any misses.) A small poem, from Anamika’s point of view…

A journey began long back
Thoughts confined became free
Colophons many appeared
New world I now began to see
Started slow then began to fly
A dream I had to soar so high
Words have flown, experiences
I’ve shared, treasures found
Many hearts have welcomed
My space warmly into theirs

Long I’ve traveled these paths
Stayed in these hallowed halls
Yet my travels don’t end here
A place where I see desire
Where I seek continuation
Still my quest has not reached
Its zenith; a milestone on this
Path to endless celebrations
Shows a hundred spilt drops
Of shining ink, each a torrent

Before I take your leave, I just want to thank her for having me over here. It was a pleasure making this post on such a wonderful occasion.

55 Fiction - #11 & A Surprise!

Hey guys thanks a ton for your over-whelming response for my writings, especially 55Fiction! Here is my next 55 Fiction.

Those who are new to this concept, understand what is 55Fiction!? 55 Fiction is a form of micro fiction that refers to the works of fiction limited to a maximum of fifty-five words.Most 55 Fiction works are dramatized so as to get the effect in limited time.

MISTAKE

Neha's mobile vibrated.

"Hi Arun! See this world with beautiful, colorful flowers,chirping birds, cool breeze.. Am crazy na?"

"Naah... I Love you Neha!"

"Am excited about tomorrow's engagement."

*************HORN*************

"Where are you?"

"Driving....a-aa--aa-aah"

SCREECH..

"Neha???!?!"

The line went dead.

Her Blurred vision read, "AVOID MOBILE WHILE DRIVING", before the tanker ran over her.

According to figures by the Road Safety Cell of the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, there were 4.4 lakh accidents in 2009, till 31st of august. Human life is precious, once it is gone, it can't be regained.

I wrote this 55Fiction on the 5th anniversary of my cousin who lost her precious life in a road accident.

Yavanika, you are the one I will always miss
And now that you are not there to hear this
I will tell you I love you and you were more than a sis
And praying that God will rest your soul in eternal peace.

Feeling too much? Come on, life has two sides : A happy, cheery part and Sad, monotonous part. I have made you feel so much and now, i don't want my reader's to go with a heavy heart. Guessing what am upto eh?!

Its the Award giving ceremony. Cheer up and get ready to check whether you are one of those Award Winners. Some of my friends writes fantastically. Compared to them am nowhere. Lets see whether something creative ever pops up in my mind in the near future.

Some of them would have got it already! Mind getting them again?
