بلاگ کی سالگرہ

آج میرے بلاگ کو تین سال ہو گئے ہیں-

Today marks three years since I started this blog on Blogspot. I didn’t post muh the first few months and the blog took off only around November 2002. Since then, there have been many changes. I blog a lot less than I used to, from a few posts a day at the peak to 1–2 posts every week now. I also post less about politics now. It’s not that I am less interested in politics, it’s just that I am frustrated and I don’t want all my political posts to sound like rants.

One reason for my blogging less is that I have become more involved in other stuff. I am a daddy blogger too, i.e. I have a weblog where I post about Michelle’s antics and pictures etc. In fact, that blog is updated more often than this one. Plus I have gotten involved in a small but growing community of Urdu bloggers. We are trying to setup resources for the use of Urdu on the Internet especially for blogging. The latest development is the setting up of a new website at Urduweb.org. We are now working to move our different Urdu-related resources to this site.

yes. rants is all I have anymore. I am trying to get back the strength to have intelligent discourse. In any case, congratulations on being a pioneer and an inspiration.
