Hello buddies, it’s been quite a year for me. I started this blog last January never believing that I would have kept it up and ultimately becoming part of my daily routine. When I started it, I had just heard about blogging and just wanted to experiment. As expected I was fed up with the lake of response ultimately thinking of quiting

happy birthday

But since that time, I have learned many things. Being patient, writing properly, helping you fellows with all those cool tutorials. I have made some good friends. Not people I have actually met, but people who come visit my blog and I visit them on a kind of regular basis. It is all about connections when you are blogging. But to mention a few…… my buddy Joel Dsouza, Shashank, Sunit actually helped me in shaping my blogging career.

I can’t say I give blogging my full time, as there are many things in life both personal and professional, that I’m hoping to accomplish this year. For the spoilers here are few of them-

1. As a geeky fellow I want to own an iPhone and an Xbox 360. I’m a poor fellow can you guys please donate me an iPhone or a 360.

2. Pay my debts that i have taken from dad. Well I call them debts because I think it’s my responsibility to give back when I can. I know dad will never ask his son to return his money, but maybe i could buy him lots of books (my dad is an avid book reader).

3. It has always been my childhood dream to big in whichever field i will end up. At the mean time I want to get admitted in one of the top MBA institutions in India.

4. Becoming a full time blogger is also something that I want to accomplish.

5. Redesign Thinktechno. That’s always been my prime goal for the blog. A great design can do wonders to a blog.

6. I’m hoping Thinktechno feed readers will increase to 500 or 800 by end of 2008.

7. Quit smoking. This is something i got caught last year, it started as a past time and i didn’t know when it turned to addiction.

8. Find a girl-friend. This one is naughty, i had numerous crushes in my college days and by the time it ends this summer i don’t want to be empty hand. Please fellows find me someone; it doesn’t matters if she is from the internet, far of places or even Mars :).

9. Become a shutter bug. Recently I bought a Sony Cybershot DSC W80, but apart from the odd party and friends pictures there’s nothing to show.

10. Learn to make music. Well I have an intermediate experience with the guitar, with some song writing abilities.

11. Become exceptional in my English abilities. This is something I always tried to achieve since starting to blog.

12. Start writing daily on my second blog TechoCrunch.com. Mostly the blog is based upon Web 2 and productivity tips and tricks.

13. Learn to code my own PHP and CSS. I have basic HTML and php knowledge but I would like to become an efficient coder.

14. I want more average comments on each posts on Thinktechno from the present 5 to around 20. Hey fellows help me, i really need the comments. Without comments how i’m gono know what is wrong and what is right, besides it gives me motivation.

At the end of it I hope 2008 will be a great year for both personal and professional life. Until next year lets make Thinktechno a great place for people to find great tips and stuffs.

PS: I am always open for guest posts and tips, please email me via the CONTACT page of Thinktechno.com.
