200 posts later

Yes, this is the 200th on this blog, a certain milestone which marks a very eventful and rewarding journey, that, which is unmatched and will be so for ever!

The intent of this post, therefore, is to thank you, very sincerely, for your unflinching support, encouragement and patronage, all of which have made me a very happy blogger!

I've had the pleasure of meeting some of you and truly cheered doing so, while also having learn't very valuable lessons and insights that have helped me shape my life into a better form, or shall I say 'format.'

Undoubtedly, the connection I share with you is very special, strong and driven by destiny than purpose, or less of purpose, that in which, lies the pursuit of excellence and betterment, which I continue to learn from each of you in some manner or the other!

I look forward to a wonderful journey ahead, one that is replete with a lot of sharing of perspectives, experiences, instances of joy, and maybe sorrow too, success, failures, moments of tribulation, and a whole lot more - in short life itself.

Yes indeed, that's what you are - a part of my life, a very integral part at that!

  13. I wasnt here for all the two hundred... But since we have known each other...specially the time after we met for the first time... I have considered you a very close pal of mine... I can say i hold you as a brother in arms... Knowing well that though the meaning would be lost on a typical civilian... You aint typical civilian... Not even civilian... Its all a state of mind my dear warrior... We shall fight great many more battles together... Whether on the front or in seedy beer shacks ..thats a different story... Thanks for being their mate...and excuse me for lack of the same... Samby.
