My fav new blog - Al Othman Blog

Recommended reading if you are in the Middle East and HIGHLY recommended reading if you are not :) Al Othman is a super swanky and super fun high end boutique in Kuwait...and they recently started a blog a few months ago...Its truly a fun read and has quickly found its way among my daily blog checks. Have a read and let me know what you think...

500 Is The Magic Number!

A quick thank you and shout out to all of our beloved readers. In a matter of 15 days, our dear blog counter has hit 500 hits -- which in the world of blog counters -- means 500 unique IP addresses. Whether you all are logging on from 5 different computers a day or what, I don't know, but P and I are shocked, surprised and excited by this! We really weren't sure who read our babblings (except for maybe our mothers, former bosses from UMass and close friends [Hi K and A!]). We don't know who all of you are, but we love you nonetheless. And if we did know you, we'd give you a hug, for sure.

So, keep reading, start commenting, love us and love the blog. The fun's just starting.

I've been a bad blogger!

God, it's been so long since I logged onto the blogger website I barely remembered the password :S So sorry dear readers, I've been one lazy blogger...but luckily M has been making up in blogposts for the both of us...gotta love her!
To say things have been insanely busy would be a massive understatement...I got an unofficial promotion at work that has been keeping me in the newsroom at all odd hours of the day and I barely have time to breath or keep up some semblance of a social life let alone blog...
But...I recently read Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan's (aka Compulsive Confessor, my fav guilty pleasure blog to read) new book "You are here" which basically read like a series of her blog posts compiled together in book format and "fictionalized"...MEH...anyway, its spectacular success kinda reminded me of popcultureparadox and what we could do with it...the kinda ppl that get famous off of blogging I tell you...If she can do it...M & I can't be that far behind, right?!

Brown girl love!

I just came across Mindy Kaling's (from The Office, also known as the best show ever) blog ... and it is all kinds of awesome! It is called "things i bought that i love." Read it and love it!

No Comment?

It is no secret that M. and I spend the better half of our time online scouring countless blogs, web zines, mags & newspapers online etc. We are constantly sending each other links on topics we find interesting and then breaking them down (sometimes not-so-intelligently...but there is only so far you can intellectualize The Hills & GG)

Our blog is basically an offshoot of our tendencies to over-think and over-analyze pop culture (and the world around us)...which is why we would really value your comments.

It may not come as a surprise that we are our own blog's biggest fans but we also know we have loyal readers (you know who you are, even if you read us simply because you are our best friend or ahem our mother). A lot of the blog so far reads as a conversation between M. and I, and while that will continue, dear reader, it would certainly be nice to get YOUR thoughts/opinions/comments to make our little contribution to the blogosphere even more meaningful.
