The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

From now on, sporting posts will no longer be published on this site.

All new sports articles will be published there—some or most of which will also be available on BleacherReport.

In blogging, thought for today on October 6, 2010 at 10:27

The convert is often the better evangelist.

The biggest If is always ‘ If only we knew that then…’

The larger crime is always the one in which we are victimized.

Imitation is the in-sincerest form of flattery especially when it’s cruel parody.

Disclaimer

It has come to my attention that certain individuals are going around yelling ‘GIVE UP’ and other such imprecations and misleading people that they are doing so as representative of my actions. This is an attempt at mischief by some ill-meaning miscreants and I would ask you or anyone else to not take them at face value.

I have neither requested nor incited nor persuaded any individual or group to perform these actions either on my behalf or any one else’s.

Nor am I responsible or accountable for the action(s) of any group or individual who purport to do so.

If you encounter such individual(s) or group(s), I request you to ask them to refrain from associating their actions and deeds from yours truly.

Sincerely,

Linus Fernandes

Hazards

Image via Wikipedia

It is always possible to get what you want if you want it bad enough. However, it is not guaranteed that you will like what you wanted when you get it or what you had to do to get it. Or be liked for it. Those are the hazards of both personal and professional life.

When you have no moral compass of your own but rely on someone else’s you are either a child or a mimic.

If you don’t want the truth, don’t ask for it.

No medicine should be administered until proven.

When you judge others, they too will judge you and your loved ones.

Everybody has a love story. Just not all have happy endings.

When you cloak anti-social behaviour in the garb of social mores, it is a sad commentary indeed!
