In case you want a one-liner: It's the blogging which I quit; and it's you whom I have to thank...
I liked the blogosphere quite a lot.. have read many interesting posts by some really nice writers out here. But I've to quit it. This may seem to be a sudden decision but actually it's a part of the chain of connected decisions/resolutions I have been taking for quite some time. I won't say much on it. I've to shun blogging, at least for the time being.
But I'm not ungrateful. I've got to thank you.. and since you are certainly not one single person (sounds weird?) nor are similar, I decided to leave a few words about each of you.
So, here I go..
[Phoenix]: The first regular commentor on my blog! I've counted on her for ensuring that no post of mine is left with '0 comments' label for more than 10 hours! She has always left positive and encouraging comments on even the most rediculous posts of mine.
It was great reading your blog, Phoenix. I enjoyed commenting on your blog; reading the replies to them was even more fun (mostly). Might even keep reading your pages in future too [including the ones I am very recently prohibited from :)].
[Pri]
I really liked reading her emotion-packed posts. Whenever she faces some very specific questions, she choses to generalise them like-"isn't the life itself that way only?"
(Sorry Pri, I'm not taking up that tag. You really made me feel important. I will definitely do that tag thingy if I start blogging again.)
[Musafir..]
Don't know why, but this guy prefers to comment on older posts only. A nice and co-operative batchmate of mine, he, like myself, has some weird and complicated notions about life.
Wish you the best of luck for your journey, musafir.. hope we can change.
[Grain Saint]
I used to comment on his blog.. without letting him know that am the one who lives 'Sagar kinare' i.e. in the room adjacent! Loved it! Have told him now. His surprize knew no bounds!
Thanx Sagar, for patiently reading all those sarky comments and replying too.
[Tapasya and Siyaah]
People with a nice taste for urdu poetry. Loved Tap's compositions and the poetic replies on comments. Loved Siyaah's collection of ghazals and the translations by him.
Good luck friends.
[Forgetful Functor and Chandni]
Recent regulars on my blog. Both have great writing skills, especially at fiction. [I'd also like to know about FF's book someday!]
Good luck to you too, friends.
[other visitors]
I thank you all for visiting this blog. Whether I forced you somehow or you came here by any coincidence and commented [and future visitors too].
PS: I'll be back! Remember me :)

You have a unique voice, introvert.
I was looking forward to seeing you develop it even more over here.
Have enjoyed you blog...something very genuine about it.
Particularly, I was hoping you'd delve into poetic stuff a bit more...your "Zindagi tujhe kai baar" was very interesting.
Hope you'll be back.
Happy Diwali... :)
Wats this im hearing... we want you to stay !!!!
[Phoenix]
I always was stupid! but I don't think this post adds to that quality of mine anyhow!
'Sanity injection'!! I wish it existed.
God, help me get it before she comes back :D
[Siyaah]
Thanx Siyaah...
I had thought of developing tht into a complete nazm on your suggestion. i think i wud reconsider it if i start blogging again, but it won't be too soon (or may be it won't ever be).
Hopes have never been time-conscious.
[Canary]
The same to u!
I know :)
@ introvert
heyy buddy, why quit blogging??:(
btw u did make me sound like "javed jaffrey" frm "salaam namaste"---*isnt the life itsself tht way only*...hmph! ;p hahaha
neways wish u luck n hope ull resume blogging soon enough...n yeps thanks for making me feel important too --more by including me in ur vote of thanks :)
tk care pal!!
Thats impossible.. once a blogger always a blogger..Even I tried quitting as my quality of posts dipped very badly..and I din't had time for I was busy.. but as it went even in the busiest days.. i am blogging.. though its all crap..but i'm blogging...hope u wud return soon.!!!
don't ya! just when I found you :(
I dont know why u need to leave, but if u really do, then ok...but only on the condition that u'll come back!!
good luck! It was lovely knowing you...someday perhaps we'll meet in person too...
This comes as a shock to me! I have been off blogger for a week, and things change to this extent! I hate this feeling!
Dont Quit, for heavens sake!
Just a little while ago I added a link to your blog from my page. I an really feeling sick!
hey!! just when i've discovered ur blog.
the world of blogging may survive without u, but can u survive without it for long? -- here's hoping u change ur mind.
P.S thanx for those generous comments on my blog. peace.
oye! ki keh rahe ho junior! I thought it wud b more fun with ur identity revealed! Had visions of discussing my posts with ya standing in our balcony!
But anyway, a good number of bloggers find it absolutely worthless after some time spent in blogville ..I suppose urs is just gonna be a short vacation from writing ..which must be acceptable to ur readers!
shall be waiting for ur return ..its valuable ..ask ppl who read u and vice-versa :)
hi..
i dropped in here frm orkut..
really liked ur 'mein ashq..' poem.
u quitting blogging? doesn't matter for me.. am no blogger, but u write well and have got some appreciation too. u shud b enjoying it more!
