50 posts and still going...or what...?

So...I have touched 50...anyway...out with all the cliches like when I started blogging, I never thought I'd survive so long and write 50 posts and it seems incredible and all that...

Cliches or not, blogging has really helped me...in the sense that I have never written so much in such a short span of time...and I never thought that I'd be able to write on all the things that I have written so far...then there is this enthusiasm, which of course waxes and wanes, depending on the workload and mood, but overall, I have ridden this enthusiasm well enough...and of course, keeping a close watch on events to capture blog-moments...events and incidents which one would normally ignore after a brief while assume a different kind of significance now, now that I am blogging...

I don't know who my readers are...I don't know whether there are regular readers of my blog...but I do suspect that some of my friends do visit from time to time...when I started out, I thought I'd write a lot about books and music...but early 2008 was also the time when I was slowly getting infected with the FP virus and now it has become a full blown disorder...and most of the posts are about FPs...and from whatever responses that I have received, the most is for FP-related posts...so far so good...

I am fairly comfortable writing about books, but I start shivering when I venture to write about music...but I am happy that I was finally able to write about Shakti and Mynta...two indian classical-jazz fusion groups...my absolute favourites...and I was also pleased with what I wrote...but I need to write more about music...not only that, I want to write more posts on music, rather than, say FPs...I feel I have so much to share, but somehow I don't want my listening experience to get translated into adjectives or flowery nothings...which is what I read most of the times in the guise of music reviews...

I also feel that I have become a little more patient and am willing to wait for things to become clearer before I write...

Thanks everyone...whoever visits this blog...I didn't set targets when I set out, I thought one post a week would be the maximum that I can afford to spare time for...but I see that I had underestimated myself...I have 4 months till December...and it will be one year since I started blogging... should I go for 100...?
