blogging

How you doin?

I‘m back after a long overhaul and melodramatic journey’s across continents! Can’t wait to catch up with every one. It’s been a month since I returned to US. Been super busy! I have a gazillion unread emails and feed reads, so please bear with me while I clear some backlogs. How have you been doing? Drop a “hi” or “hello” and tell me what you’ve been up to.

Love to be back to blogging again 🙂

I missed you all 🙂

Make-over

I know, the title is very cliche. As you’ve noticed, the blog is going through some serious face-lift. I’d struggle to find the perfect theme for my blog. The hunt and journey has finally come to end, with satisfactory results of course. The weird part is, I’ve been sucked into a journey of self-learning. Well, I never had the knack or patience in html, css and countless technology jargon’s anyways.

Now if you are like me, looking for a perfect, easy customizations yet affordable theme for your blog, look no further. Thesis is the one! No mess, no fuss, Thesis by Chris Pearson is the only theme you would need to kick off a beautiful blog. It is packed with loads of easy buttons, knicks and knacks for a basic self-learning programmer like myself. While some might argue the need to pay $87 for Thesis, it is every bit worthy of your penny. Sigh. If only I’d discovered this theme sooner. Well, better late than never 😉 The main reason I spent money on Thesis is for their amazing Thesis Support Community. All questions and doubts are generally just a “search” button away! Isn’t that simple? More time to blog, less time coding 🙂 That’s my kind of fun time! If you are already a Thesis user, congratulations! This might be your wisest purchase ever.

Every Thesis purchase option comes with killer benefits, including:

Lifetime theme upgrades

Complete access to the Thesis forums

Downloadable “stuff” that you can use to customize and enhance your theme (like background images and styles)

Support from the creator himself, Chris Pearson 🙂

I chose to write a review on Thesis because I am so happy with it! If you are a beginner looking for more information on this fabulous theme, feel free to leave your queries, comments or concerns in the comment section below. I would be more than glad to help and guide you on how I’ve customized my blog thus far. I’ve never been so excited for something this technical. Thesis made this excitement possible 😀 Stay tuned for simple step-by-step Thesis customization on Chatterbox. Soon.

And the award goes to…

I am often questioned, “why do I blog“? Well, personally, I find it to be very nurturing, a form of my stress-reliever and a hobby. But penning just these reasons aren’t enough. As I’ve mentioned in the about-us page, blogging is one of the most essential tool of communication with our families back home. It is often used to chronology our travels or daily rants for the ease of our family’s to keep abreast of our activities.

Ever since I was introduced to the blogging world, I’ve discovered many hidden gems. Some of their writings are based on fiction, comedy, personal rants, politics, social and much more. The possibilities are endless. One of my favorite blogger is Reema, from My Random Thoughts. Not only because she has recently bestowed the immaculate Addicting Blog Award to Chatterbox, but the way she manages to make blogging look so simple and exciting. She rants about her daily life as a college professor, a M.E. student, friend, daughter and a sister. Her blog carries multiple topics and tones. An array of spices for different moods, I’d say 🙂 Head over to Random Thoughts and get to know Reema your self 🙂

I'm loving it 😉

Thank you Reema, for this wonderful award! Now, let’s not be too greedy and keep this to myself. I would love to bestow this award onto some of my favorite bloggers who have supported us with great reads:

Drum rolls………

And the Addicting Blog Award goes to: Amreekandesi, eLekhni, Solilo, Museditions, The Mad Momma, Meena, Su Yin, Priyank, Ching Ya, Frat Mustard, Holly, Jaden, Ruhi, Shefaly, and Dinu.

Congratulations!!! 🙂

Blogging break – Update 1

Gosh! It’s been a long time since I blogged. Apologies for the long absence. Completing MBA is currently my priority. I have my last thesis in the workings before I (hopefully) graduate 🙂 Promise to blog, reply to comments and feed read as soon as time permits. Meanwhile, I would be catching a flight to Amsterdam tonight and 2 days down the road, to Malaysia. A few weeks after that, to India and I can’t wait to chronology my journey with every one here in the blogosphere. Unfortunately, hubby has to work and would only join me in India some time early March. Sigh!

Thanks for all your kind wishes and moral support. I would be blogging actively in a week or ten days from now. I can’t wait to catch up into my feed reader for a glimpse of what is happening in the life’s of my blogging buddies 🙂 Bon voyage to myself 🙂

Blogging break

I am taking a break from blogging for some time to concentrate in completing my final MBA journey. I would surely read and reply comments and feeds as soon as time permits. If you hadn’t, do subscribe to Chatterbox via feed reader or email to ensure you receive the news of our comeback—won’t be too long, that’s for sure 🙂 Don’t forget to miss us and drop me a message or an email with encouragements—it would definitely cheer me up 🙂

Would miss you all loads, take care!

Over and out… Wait a sec? Before I leave, some bits and pieces from the collection of my favorite quotes.
