With an end of the #Brangelina Era and girls ruling the Emmys and so much more , last one week has been eventful to say the least . But life this side wasn’t any dull either. Continuing with last week’s list of ‘Doing the new’ , here are my recent accomplishments. Yay to me.
Relearnt how I am my best company:
Not that I don’t have this long [ and growing] list of people I have to catch up with , I am spending an enormous time alone and its literally therapeutic . Highlight of the last week in this section ? I watched Pink the film, alone – Popcorn , Coffee , tissues , the works . I would be able to share the experience with you as soon as I complete my unfinished post ‘Pink is the new Black’ . So hang in there .
Looking at the world with brand new eyes:
I downloaded Prisma . To say that it changes your world view completely is an understatement. A fresh bout of home decor pics and general madness shall soon ensue. You have been warned.
The Butterfly Effect is set in motion:
A published author [that flaunts a blue tick on twitter] posted yet another irksome tweet . It could’ve been a great counter publicity move for ‘Pink The Film’ but it did seem to come from a genuinely confused space inside her head. I tried to react to it like I mostly do by taking my age old stance – let’s not harm the cause of feminism just coz you don’t seem to get it. But something went off in my head and I finally wrote the first [of perhaps many] posts on Feminism .
The story doesn’t end there , infact it has just begun . For the first time ever I was BLOCKED , while I was quietly going about my life , just expressing my views [ and not even quoting people in question .. do you realize that I am still NOT!] .
The bottomline is , as we speak – The Feminism Triangle is the most read post on my blog and am proud I didn’t resort to shameless self promotions for it as ‘a sly open letter’ .
In other news, I also completed 9 years of existence in the blogosphere . Crazy huh? I did plan a post around it. But I am going to have a significant year ahead and rather do a fabulous 10th year blog post. What say?
So wrapping up the week 3 and stepping into the last leg of MyFriendAlexa campaign , I can see how much I’ve gained as a blogger. My definition of content & connections has further changed and my Alexa rank has dropped to 7,59,933. What are your plans as the countdown to October begins?

Such a beautiful post Chandni.. Alexa rank has taken blogging to new heights altogether. And sure the 10th Anniversary post sounds like a lot of excitement! Congratulations on completing full 9 years. The decor looks really classy! October is sure gonna be a rocking month!
Cheers

Thanks Geet.. So much has happened since 2016 began. New home , getting burnt out and now taking this break .. Little milestones like being around for 9 years almost went un-noticed. Thanks for being around..
Chandni, you know what I am going to say, but then again I will say it for the benefit of those who read you 😉 . You totally rock,with all the awesomeness in the way you handled everything. Congrats on 9 Years! That makes you a veteran btw, just saying 🙂 I haven’t really liked the Prisma app though! I deleted it off my phone.
Looking forward to more awesome from you.
Jai , awesomeness is contagious. It’s seeping through our chats so what ever it is that you are doing , just keep at it .. it’s working for me too 🙂
Nothing short of a roller-coaster ride, wasn’t it?
Congrats on 9 years! And wow! I really didn’t now you are a veteran. I mean. Wow! 🙂
I am NOT a veteran Shalz.. 9 years now do seem long but they weren’t significant. Last one year was transformational. So thats wow – worthy 🙂
I still say a Year 9 post is warranted 🙂
It is a huge deal. You’ve been writing for 9 years. less than 3-4% of the Indian blogosphere can claim that consistency.
Done. The way you put that across you got my attention. So the 9 year post would be dedicated to you 🙂
Yayy and many cheers to #ThisAndDoingNothing! You say it best when you say nothin’ at all! What say?! And you’ve been around 9 yrs? Whew, totally pro man! You are a true rockstar, love ya!
Kala .. takes a pro to spot a pro . A rockstar to appreciate another one nahin ?
That’s inspiring , 9 years of blogging.Needs some serious persistence.Great post. Your prisma pic looks fine.But really not a fan of prisma
I look at people so dedicated , committed, curious and creative when it comes to blogging in the real sense and i feel there is so much to learn and do .. so here’s to the next 9 years 🙂
Prisma is a latest fad .. am sure sooner or later it shall go too
9 years is a long time, I guess i am blogging from a long time too but wasnt that active. This Octiber i plan to start Tech posts on my blog. Maybe i need to track like you what i did in a month
Wow .. 9 years does seem like a long time now that EVERYONE is pointing that out 🙂
Doing interesting new things is exciting so go ahead have fun with those tech posts. but dont get too carried away with my monthly tracking.. for the first time i have this kind of time as i am on a temp break from work ..
9 years of blogging? Wow! Congratulations Chandni 🙂 And yes I agree, you are your own best friend. Spending time alone is therapeutic.
Thanks Reema – am hoping the 10th year is truly significant as I have so much to learn from bloggers like you 🙂
I always love your posts…this one is extra special because it mentions PINK
Oh I love you for saying that !! I Love people who love my posts and say that out loud – wink wink!!
Pink was such a well timed movie. a movie that needed to be made. will surely blog about it soon
congrats for completing 9 Years thats means a lot may you reach zenith
So humbled and moved with your heartfelt wish 🙂
Good one..sometimes its important to spend some time alone..congrats for completing 9 years..cheers to many more 🙂
My latest post- http://kreativemommy.com/daughters-of-india-deserve-education/
Honestly , most of the 9 years before blogchatter happened , I was lost and lonely. Blogging needs company and that;s why the last year has been significant .
Cannot comment, some issues with the jetpack of yours ..
9 wonderful years of blogging, this can be seen in your posts.
The creation and maturity of words .
And prisma 😀 I really like the app for clicking books.
I am my own company is a motivation
I have done tons of things alone – watched Harry Potter and the Dealthy Hallows 2 alone, Bang Bang alone, Hurt Locker alone, went on shopping trips alone, have had lunches in good restaurants alone – I seriously can’t wait for people to make plan or accompany. When no ones there you are the best company to self!
You have ? Hmm.. I have too . But not since I got married and especially not since I became a mommy. As a single , alone used to be super fun!
But as a blogger — we all need company no?
Such a well structured post, Chandni! 9 years is a great milestone and I hope you complete many more with some rocking nos. (rank and blog count) 🙂
Thanks Saumya.. wasnt focussing on either of those so far. and honestly they arent as imp as discovering some interesting people and kick starting some conversations 🙂 Thanks so much!
Congratulations!!!
Hi Chandini!
9 yearsss? Woow! Congratulations ❤ May the rockstar have many more years and more happiness! ?
9 years!that’s quite a time! Congrats!
Congratulations and Celebrations!! Hats-off for completing 9 years successfully, keep counting as many more and more to come….. 🙂
