So, what the fuck does “self-proclaimed blogger” mean?

    arun guesses it is someone who writes in the first person..find and replace I in your About box with He/She/It and you will be a saada blogger..
    arun also thinks speaking in third person rocks

  2. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan thinks Arun’s trying to be funny. But not enough. Chandrachoodan also wants to know the answer to the question he asked.

    Chandrachoodan definitely agrees with Arun’s last statement about third-person-speak

  3. Anand Says:

    Speaking in third person at-least lets you not be labelled ‘self-proclaimed’!

    Hi,
    I am Anandi Pendse, a graduate student pursuing my masters in Human-Computer Interaction at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, U.S.A. I belong to the college of computing (http://www.cc.gatech.edu/). I am writing a research paper on the Effectiveness of blogs in promoting and raising awareness about development activities such as women’s issues, conflict resolution and education etc under the guidance of Dr. Michael Best ( http://www.inta.gatech.edu/~michael_best).
    I am focusing on blogs written by residents of developing countries or blogs about developing countries. I am trying to cover as many countries and development issues as possible.
    I came across your blog through a blog search engine and thought you would be an ideal person to be a part of my survey.
    I would be grateful if you could take out some time from your schedule and answer the questions in the survey. This survey should not take more than 15 minutes to complete. I am hoping that this survey will help me to pinpoint the deficiencies and improve blog service providers so that you and other bloggers like you can use the blog in a better way to raise awareness and get your ideas across.
    I assure you that the information you give will not be used for any purpose other than this paper and your identity will not be revealed to anyone.

The information you provide will be used to generate statistics and only these statistics will be used in the paper.

    This survey is divided into 2 parts. Following are the links to the 2 parts.
    Please do respond to both the links

I would once more like to make it clear that no personal information you provide will be revealed to any person or organization.

    sleepyface visits sel-am, shakes head, and moves on to the next blog

  7. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandru runs after Sleepyface, begging him to come back.

  8. Zero Says:

    Zero proclaims that he is a self-proclaimed no-no-not-a-blogger; or rather that he is a self-proclaimed ‘self-proclaimed no-no-not-a-blogger’.
    Uh, oh well..

  9. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan has no idea what Zero’s saying

  10. Sleepyface Says:

    Sleepyface exclaims ‘Oh’ and takes his trade-mark contemplative stance and reveals as-a-matter-of-fact he is gonna pay a visit to chennai in the coming week and assures chandru he is afterall, gonna come back..

  11. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan rubs his hand in anticipation of SF’s visit.

    “Will you walk into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly;
    “’Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you may spy.”

  12. Sleepyface Says:

    Sleepyface wonders, just like the fly, if whoever went up the stairs has ever come down again.. but dismisses the thought and concludes, this spider cannot be cunning.

  13. Lalita Says:

    Missus Em chuckles, shakes her head and exits blog left.

  14. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan huffs and puffs after Missus Em, shouting at her to come back, all the while telling himself there must be something he’s doing wrong if all visitors insist on exit, stage left.

  15. Lalita Says:

    Stop huffing and puffing and threatening to blow me house down, Massa. Missus Em keeps re-entering blog right.

  16. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan huffs down, puffs up and goes to sleep.

  17. Lalita Says:

    Good night then, Missus Em sniffs and exits blog left.

  18. Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan Says:

    Chandrachoodan, sleeping fitfully, dreams of the days in which Missus Em, Sleepyface, and other regulars leave comments on his blog, and don’t just run away.

  19. Sleepyface Says:

    A chuckle escapes from sleepyface’s cocky grin. It has been given to understand that much amusement came.
