Almost famous

I had one Gayathri Varma posting comments at my blog and I didn't know who she was. Since I was getting famous anyways, I presumed it's normal to receive fan mails. when she wanted to know if I have seen her comments, I figured -albeit bitterly- that she knows me. After a brief detective work, I found out that she's indeed my colleague and I ended up at her desk. After introductions and a bit of small talk, she funnily remarked that my blog is turning out to be my PR board.

It could be true because a lot of people from inside my company know me only through my blog. And then there are mails from strangers.

It is also a drugging feeling to know that what you are writing is actually being read. And also talked about, positively or negatively.

Now I know why people long to be writers, actors or musicians.

    That was supposed to be a joke. I should have added an exclamation mark for clarity. I didn't do it coz' I dislike that symbol. And I prefer to use smileys only in emails and chats.

    Yes Swati,

    I do get such mails and I would not offend those 'fans' by terming them as 'coy mails', especially since they will be reading these comments. I don't want my fan-base to erode you see! (For those who can't see, there's a smiley here)

    ROTFL! Sridhar you have not changed a bit! Your comments status do show how *popular* you are! Please note that this is a joke, not to be taken seriously at all!
    This post made my day!

    I can't decide if the posts or the "modest" responses to comments are more amusing.
    ROTFLMAO

    Maybe he thinks that getting comments on a post is being famous.
