Site Statistics — July 2008

I can’t believe this — I hit my target of 20K pageviews a full month early. In fact, I almost touched the 22K mark; a full 10% above my target!
Pageviews are up by 17% and absolute uniques are up by 19% over June, 2008.
I drilled-down into the stats and this surge in traffic is […]

For reasons unknown, ING Vysya believes that I have a spouse who I should immediately, but positively before the end of the day, go with to their office on Cunningham Road and collect a 3-night vacation-in-Goa package. In case my hypothetical spouse and I decide not to vacation for 3-nights in Goa, I can get […]

Site Statistics — May 2008

It’s been a roller-coaster since January. May was particularly bad, but expected since I suffered a bout of the blogger’s block. March had seen the same results; I didn’t write much in March since I was settling in at my new job.

I want to hit the 20K page views per month mark by September. I’d […]

All that talk about financial independence and what do I just get as an SMS:

Congratulations! You have been pre-approved a Personal Loan from HSBC for Rs 322,000. Blah blah blah… Conditions apply.

WTF mate? Given this method of lead generation and subsequent lending, would you be brave enough to deposit your money with HSBC?

Just downloaded Twitter Tools 1.2b1. Hope this plug-in works well. Last time around, it didn’t work as I wanted it to. Happy tweeting! #
Finding out that it’s not a terrific idea to jog down the 600-odd steps at Shravanabelagola and then attend aerobics class in the morning. #

Playing the catch up game with WordPress. Upgrading to WordPress v2.5. This blog might be cranky for some time.

Site Statistics — March 2008

A slight dip in March since this blog’s web-host suffered a freak power outage for two consecutive days.
I’m sure that the stats will rebound in April. Wish me luck!

It’s been a quiet March. Just 7 posts (including this one) in 31 days. I’ve been busy at my new job and much of my spare time has been spent pursuing the fascinating topic of Positive Psychology. I recommend that you view these lecture videos in April.

On a different note, a new financial year begins […]

Yummy! I’m nearing my goal.

Site Statistics — February 2008

When compared with the site statistics for January 2008, there’s been a:

Ouch! I have touched the Rs 600 mark.
Discounts have been up though.
Which means I am talking way too much!

January 12th was a significant milestone — one that I missed completely. On that day, I completed three full years of blogging! Whew! It seems like I started just yesterday. For sure, this milestone wouldn’t have happened without you. Here’s a BIG heartfelt thank you to you — my dear reader.

It’s also the time to […]

Mobile Bill Analysis — December 2007

Quite a while ago, I had said that I don’t want to see my mobile bill cross Rs 400. The graph above clearly illustrates that I am still seeing it.
