I mean, you got that impression from my offline pretention, right? :) Yes, I hope to continue research-oriented blogging -- it is exhilirating as much as it is draining. Offline action can largely be done only when you are in Trivandrum. But yes, I am not surprised by your waning LOBA enthusiasm. IF you wish to be a frequent reader, I suggest you use Google Reader or similar free RSS software. That way, you will be alerted to any new write-up here as soon as the article appears.

Writing a new and interesting article every fortnight drains your energy and time." @Ashok That is because of extensive research that you put in. People are more accustomed to casual write-ups in blogs and serious stuff elsewhere. I am only an occasional reader! Gee I find point number 2 appealing, I was JS and editor for one year. I found LOBA enthusiasm on the lower side and being my most difficult time on the personal side of my life, I withdrew from the old boy spectrum without regret. Let me see where the great school campaign reaches. For now I sit and watch(no acting offline). “How wrong I was! Writing a new and interesting article every fortnight drains your energy and time.”

So, truth be told, I don't rely on them much. On the other hand, the number of <a href="http://www.loyolites.com" rel="nofollow">e-news</a> subscribers is a more reliable and simple indicator, even if it does not tell us how many subscribers open the mail and read :) The stats often leave me confused.

The topics have been varying in content and intent which makes the readers anxious to know the "next one". Keep up the good work. Hi Ashok,

But yes, Loyolites' blog dominated on my results page too. Incidentally, my blog does not figure at all in the search results for "loyola school trivandrum" at Google's Blogs section. Hmm...guys, stick to Google's main search :-) Syam, of course it helps if you click on the advts here. This week, my blog earning for 2007 doubled to $4 -- looks like you are the reason!

If you go to Google's Blog Search and type in "Holy angels trivandrum", the first page of results is composed almost entirely of blogs by Loyolites. I think you can take part of the credit/blame for this. Hi Ashok,
