The 5k Milestone

Dear Visitors and Readers (they are different!),

This is to inform you that I have successfully crossed the 5000 visitors milestone on 22nd this month. The counter was placed on Dec 18th 2007 when my boss’ suggested me to do so (I do have a very encouraging boss). It took exactly 3 months ( March 18th ‘08) to reach 1000; what a struggle, huh ? LOL. After March, I got
introduced to this universe called blogosphere through Poonam and then after a series of ‘You comment in mine-only then I comment in yours’ sessions with
fellow bloggers, the counter in V-Lokam finally started moving. I still remember those days (not long back though) when I used to bug my colleagues through internal chat and a couple of close friends through orkut / sms /mails with URLs to my posts. Yeah, I was that desperate, LOL !!! Today, I am a happy blogger with quite a few regulars but at the same time, I also know that V-Lokam has still a long way to go in terms of its visitors and the posts. Nevertheless, even this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without you people and I take this opportunity to thank all of you, it seriously means a lot to me when I meet you guys here.

and now its time for a cliché statement, “ Though I have received a couple of valuable awards, what matters to me the most is when someone leaves their impression here
after visiting. So please, do comment and keep V-Lokam happier.”

Last but not the least, I would like to mention about a wonderful human being who kept a track of the number of visits in V-Lokam. Though I never bothered to know my visitor stats, she kept a close eye on the counter daily- literally!!! She would inform me whenever I cross the 1000’s and even take screenshots to send it across to me. Now how sweet is that !!
Thanks a lot Reeta a.k.a Reets. Your presence, here, has inspired me a lot and
has also been of great encouragement to me. And for the same reason, I dedicate
this post of V-Lokam to you. I have also enclosed all the screenshots that you
had sent me. Thanks once again.

Warm Regards,
Vimal Vijayan (Vimmuuu),
V-Lokam.

The screenshots taken by Reeta :





1000









2000









3000





4000







and finally 5000 !!!

Great to see v lokam reach 5000, and now by the time i am posting this comment its already proceeding towards its next landmark.The count is 5101.Well Thanks much for dedicating this post to me and it really means a lot. If I have gone ahead and taken the screenshots ,it really means thats its not only ur blog, I have considered it as our blog.I really love the stuff written here and admire ur writing skills and creativity. Wanna see v lokam hit 10000 soon!!Its been mere telepathy or the sixth sense, that i have managed to get the screenshots when the count was 1000,2000,.....etc...

Smita said...

:D Visitor No 5102 and a reader a well :)

Congrats for crossing 5k and trust me it has been a pleasure to be a regular reader of ur blog :) and that was so sweet of Reets :)

Poonam Sharma said...

You may have been introduced to new people hrough me, but you made it through them because they genuinely liked your blog. Its hard to sustain a reader who comes back. And you ahve that. Other kind of visiters are thsoe who come to your blog through searches. So write about most searched subjects to get mroe such visiters. )

and that was really sweet of reets to taek screenshots. :)

already 400-odd visits since u started the celebration! Congrats dude.
and coming to talk abt screen shots, i'm a little more than excited to ask you to see my new post here!
I would be proud to have your impression on this post too... ;)

PS: Dude! ur 1st show was quite good. the best part was when u said that u dint have any formal music training, which was as good a shocker to me as much as to the host.
the Mungaru Maleye song was a hit among my close frnz too... i now have it on my mobile!
Do you have a repeat telecast of the show anytime? because i have GATE classes on sundays! :(
