I created this blog primarily to be able to read AND comment on the blogs that I visit. This gives me a persona in cyber-space. Don't expect anything significant from the blog.
Does that look familiar?
If it isn't, then just read the description under this blog's name.
Why am I bringing this to your notice?
Well, perhaps to re-evaluate the objective of the blog and also to see if the author is sticking to the objective.
Actually the objective brought to my mind another kindred soul in the blog-world, s.b. This remarkable person, does rounds of different blogs, conscientiously comments and leaves.
In my travels, my path has crossed his/hers on several blogs, to the extent that we've become nodding acquaintances. (S)he also gives links to other sources / blogs in the comments where relevant. The most surprising thing is that s.b. is truly anonymous - does not possess a blog, a user ID or even a nick! All comments are by anonymous but signed at the end with the characteristic - s.b. The point that I'm trying to make is that - s.b. has been doing what I've proclaimed to do, but without any brouhaha. s.b. and I are now nodding acquaintances in blogosphere.
This post is to honor s.b. - my guru.
Some places where I've met him/her are:
Hip Hop G'ma's
Are we born women
Random Thoughts
Another common watering hole is Terri's turf (Terri, hope you dont take offence at the description :p)
Tourists Gone Wild
Senior Sampats
Surprising that I've never introduced Terri to you before! Read about Terri - The VIP
s.b. has also commented in this blog. :) I hope that s.b. notices this post.
I wonder why s.b. doesn't have a blog of his/her own!

The coyote’s other etherized pension made him bitter to the throne maker whose sin drove the hangman’s hand. Tho Indris Khan...her unaided deals shaving tin apes in the emblems of often sneering endoderms, the yahoo denting the bikers take crumbles up to us.
s.b hasnt seen this yet? Whats john b saying BTW?
ha,ya saw his/her comments :) have turned on anon for cmting just in case ;)
Actually, s.b. has a blog, but he's incredibly shy about linking to it. He claims he has nothing much to say on his own blog.
I think s.b. has single-handedly managed to keep my blog afloat with his comments. With his habit of linking, he has introduced me to many other wonderful blogs that I wouldn't have discovered on my own.
I'll let him know you said "Hi!"
Oh, wait, you're already on his blogroll (unlike me - I'm so hurt!) so he'll stop by sometime.
I am so curious. I have asked my wife many times if she was s.b. and she used to laugh..
then I asked my mother in law and she said no..
I would wonder, how could someone have such an insight into what I was thinking when I wrote something if it wasnt the two people sitting next to me on the couch ?
Please let me know when you spot the white whale!
:)
the visitor:
i just came here via your comment on terri's blog. had no idea what that comment was all about and thought visiting your blog might help :-).
i am really really honoured and appreciate your comments (and those of the others).
"Are we born women"
that one totally escapes me - i don't recall being there. need to go and see (maybe i went from a link).
terri:
you've been on my 'specialist' blogroll for quite some time - check out the humour section :-).
btw, the reason i am secretive is because my blog is the "private me", the commentator me is my schizophrenic twin. and i don't really want them to merge (if i can help it!). oh, well ...
vishesh:
i have gone and commented on blogs authored by 20somethings to 200somethings. yet to comment on teenagers' blogs ... and yet to read yours anyway.
sundar:
rotfl ... both me and my wife!
- s.b. (100% male, a small% mcp too!)
@sloop john b: Your bot seems to be working - though I couldn't make head or tail of it.
@deepa - s.b. has just dropped in last evening :)
@vishesh - always open comments to all - you get to meet interesting persons. :)
@terri - you are blogrolled there. And drop in more often - my prose isn't the overwhelming type. s.b. has already dropped in as you can see.
@sundar - I think that I've spotted s.b. Look more carefully for the white whale, its as large as it can get.
@s.b.
Finally the person to whom this post was addressed. It's a pleasure to have you here. :)
My comment policy - I dont comment on my own posts - I usually visit the person's blog and leave a comment there. WTH, rules are meant to be broken. Making an exception with this post - because I ought to entertain 'homeless' persons at my own place. ;D
Drop in more often - of course, there isn't anything 'original' here. :)
Visitor: Yup, Terri's place is a regular watering hole alright! And that's where this visitor came here from.
s.b: Is there a "w" that you lose when you comment? Just wondering if I have been on your little cubbyhole in cyberspace.
Hi Anantha,
Nice of you to drop in. :)
s.b. seems to be bringing in more comments and hits than any of my other posts.
Feels great!
Quite an achievement considering that he comments anonymous.
I have seen you often at Terri's, Me thinks and other places too - I have also visited your blog quite some time ago. Now your blog does look quite different. Will drop in some time.
:)
anantha:
whoops - no, i do not have a "w" in my initials, probably that is someone else.
the visitor:
check this out - wonder if you've seen it before.
sorry i have not been here more often - i've been at my more familiar watering holes.
- s.b.
@s.b. - that was a great link - it's now posted on indianmommies.com :)
