Sunakshi, a
dear Twitter friend of mine & a cool Blogger, had made a gracious offer one
fine day 2-3 months ago to me.
I nearly jumped off my seat when I saw her requesting me to write a ‘Guest Post’ for her sparkling Blog- Pearl In Darkness!

Wow!
What importance! It’s an honor for any Blogger!
She had faith in my talent from the few Posts I had for credit till then!

That time I
expressed my delight and also my inability as I was (I still am!) finding things challenging
because of TIME!
I always find myself making sacrifices to invest the little time I have, to write Posts for my own Blog as I am juggling many roles- being a PhD Scholar & travelling between cities to my University, full-time Mom, home-manager…etc.
My lifestyle doesn’t leave me much time for myself or my Blog & how can I commit time to write a ‘Guest Post’?!

I cannot
forget Sunakshi’s reaction, “No worries, take your own time! Whenever you are
ready, just let me know… My Blog will be waiting…”
That was
many days ago!
Yesterday I
thankfully noticed it would be my 75th Post!
I got in touch right away with Sunakshi, my Dost!

Her 'Guest-Post' offer
had been roaming in my head everyday!
Here’s my special 75th
Post coming your way!
Many
milestones come & go, while we are not even aware!
I realized 5 days
ago, I now have 20,000 tweets in Twitter & today morning that my Blog has
clocked 20,000 Page-Views! Yippee!!!
Now I feel
it has to be special! What’s life without happiness & celebrations?
I found it
best to celebrate it with a long pending request!
75th Post means Diamond
or Platinum Jubilee for my Blog!
As per the
Wikipedia:
- Diamond
Jubilee, a celebration of a 60th or 75th anniversary
- Platinum
Jubilee, a celebration of a 70th or 75th anniversary
Here's what I wrote:
The pleasure & honor is mine! Thank you! :)
I share this with all my FRIENDS!

Here's what I wrote:
"When I think of both the words Diamond & Platinum, I think of my FRIENDS, as even they are precious! Friends are the jewelry that we can proudly flaunt!..."
