Maybe I should get a phone with a camera...
Mobile Phone Camera day. I happened to get one for today, and this is one pic I wanted to post. Why can't we have cows away from the city like in most other countries??? (For more information regarding my attitude towards cows, read this post.)

Did I say BlogExplosion is good?
It's ok if you just want to see the hits increase, but not if you want people to read your material. I was just checking my stats. Almost all readers referred here from BlogExplosion don't stay for more than 30-40 seconds. 30 seconds is the minimum time a person should be at a blog to get credits in BlogExplosion. It's obvious that a majority of the blogging population enrolled in BlogExplosion don't want to read other blogs.
This isn't the case with other readers though, like readers referred from other sources like searches or other blogs. There was one reader from India, I'm not sure which city 'cause the person was browsing from a Sify Iway browsing centre or using a Satyam LAN connection (you can tell all that by using a reliable hit counter like statcounter, in case you were wondering), who was referred from Hobbes' Moron Mountain (Don't get fooled by the name... it's a must read blog if you haven't done so yet),(a very long sentence, aint it?), who actually stayed at this blog, read all the archives, and also all the posts from my other blog, for a total of TWO HOURS (Surprisingly, this person hasn't cared or doesn't want to leave a comment). I never knew my blogs were worth so much time. I've had visitors from Sunny's blog who actually leave comments(Sunny as in Sunny Melbourne, in case you haven't heard, an indescribably passionate blogger.). Then there's Whatever's Left, the funky UK music blog, giving me a frequent source of readers, not just visitors.
Tony Pierce has linked to me in the past week, (What? You don't know who Tony Pierce is? He's probably the most illustrious and true blogger of our time, though his blog does have a disclaimer "nothing in here is true". If you haven't done so already, and I would be surprised if you haven't, go read his blog!) and all the visitors from his blog stay here for at least 10 minutes.
If the world weren't filled with so many selfish people, BlogExplosion might actually be good.
Trivia - The most popular keywords people use to end up at this blog - "Why Do We Exist"/"Do We Exist".
Oh, here's wishing everyone who celebrates the festival around the globe a very HAPPY DEEPAVALI/DIWALI however you prefer to call it. Technically it's over now, though some celebrate it tomorrow also. Personally I would say avoid the firecrackers completely, but if you feel like it, go ahead!
