Thank You God!
For guiding me in your path, for teaching me more of WordPress, keeping my server healthy and for blessing me with the best readers I could ever have. Be with me Lord! And help me fight the Hackers and Spam and all other forms of evil I might encounter on my way ahead.
Million Clues! is one year old.
On my last birthday, when I turned 20, I looked back and thought. What have I done with my 20 years? Though every moment was worth living for (school life, amazing friends and the celebrations), there was nothing I could point out as ‘something’. I turned 21 today, and here it is, my cute little space on the web, that I am a lot proud of!
Thank You all for being part of me, for all your support and words that kept me writing on and on.

Suddenly Everyone wants a Blog…
“Total waste of time”, “You got nothing else to do?”, “No one is gonna read”. These are some of the comments I got when I was starting off with Blogging. Not many of my friends even cared to ask what I was doing. Oh! Reading and writing are not very popular subjects of discussion at college.
Now that I have started getting checks, everyone wants to know what I am doing, how I do it. Surprisingly, even some guys who never went online started asking. I like the treatment.
Was it worth the time? Hell, yea! Blogging looks like the best decision I ever made. Thank You all again!
I am a WordPress product developer and creator of Image Attributes Pro. I am passionate about solving problems and travelling the world.

Congrats on the stats, they look very healthy for a 1 yr old blog. 🙂 I am impressed 🙂
The Feed-Good-Factor never goes away from you. That’s a big testimonial. Thanks 🙂

Is today your Birthday too? If it is, it’s a fantastic day to start your next life.

Thanks mate. In fact, it all started with guest posting at vitamincm, that’s where I first admired WordPress. I still remember what you said, “You will love it once you see its awesome Power”. Look what it has turned into.
Thanks a lot. Life is really a game of dots 🙂
Congrats man. It feels great when we look back our days, when some one told we can’t do it and today we have done it.
I wish you a great success in the coming years.
Happy Birth Day to Arun and MillionClues.
