400,000 ! 4 LAKH.... HITS!!
In spite of all the differences among us, this world is still small!!
400,000 and going on strong!That's the total number of readers worldwide who have visited my blog MUSINGS FROM DOHA at https://www.jaisonchacko.com/ so far. It is amazing, gratifying and equally encouraging for me to note that the readership has spread to 110 countries in all the continents as shown above! Most of such countries are well known but quite a few are not that known- no offence meant to them- like Burkina Faso, Kosovo, Montenegro, Moldova or North Macedonia. Then, there are a few from 'unknown countries', classified as such by Google, presumably Cuba, Sudan, Syria, Crimea, North Korea or Iran, details of which is not known.Around 150 articles on various topics- on first of every month- are published so far on this blog. Two books are published based on selective topics namely ' Gandhi? Who's That?' and 'Kaleidoscopic Musings' , still available on Amazon. So far 1700 valuable comments are received from the readers worldwide! I thank each one of my readers , near and far, for your continued support. As far as I am concerned it is incredible but true! It also shows that in spite of all the differences among us, this world is still small!!
The following three articles are in the top of the chart in popularity now :
1.What and How to negotiate business deals.
2.63,Ravipuram Revisited and
3.Five minutes before closing time......Beyond Lutyens Bakerloo and Chausath Yogini.
And maximum number of the readers are from the following 10 countries in that order now...
1.US 6.Ukraine
2.Hong Kong 7.France
3.Indonesia 8.Germany
4.India 9.China and
5.Russia 10.Qatar.
Of all, readers from US is 20%,Hong Kong 13%,Indonesia 10%,India 8% and Russia 5% followed by 6- 10 and rest of 100. Thanks to Google technology without which I could not have even dreamed of this feat. Perhaps more than anyone, I myself enjoy writing... keeping my old mind busy, young and creative.Thank you very much for your valuable supports.Namasthe!
No wonder you have such a readership.Once I started, it's a few years since, I eagerly wait every month's article.Best wishes

ReplyDeleteDuring my short visit to Doha I have had the opportunity to enjoy the company and love of Jaison and a few other alumni of MA college of Engineering Kothamangalam Kerala where I taught Industrial economics for one year, 1969–70 , and exchange pleasantries and their hospitality, besides being the warden of the college hostel , before I joined the Central service and served the country for 38 years in different states and places in India. Thank you Jaison

ReplyDeleteAJO:Hello Sir, amazing.
ReplyDeleteLike they famously say, discipline makes you start something but it’s the consistency that allows you to accomplish something.
I would say that your life discipline and consistent pursuance of things have helped you achieve heights. No success comes easy and I take pride in having worked with you and witnessing some of those mentioned uncertainties and achievements.
This shows that even if nothing changes in the world, one’s consistent approach to things can bring the change. Your writing and the numerous reading you have to do to publish articles has perhaps enhanced your world view which reflects in these articles too. Wisdom gained in this long journey keeps you going and my prayers and best wishes for this achievement sir. Let it gain many more!
As one of your article says- ‘I can’ is 100 times more important than IQ. I see that you have applied that in your life too 🙏😊.

ReplyDeleteHV NAIRDear Sir,
ReplyDeleteOut of the 150 odd published articles I could read many right from the Gulf Housing days.
The way things are put; I mean with an unbiased descriptive people always get attracted.
Also I have seen that the narratives are just by an observer, reserving his own personal view points. Such writings will always attract many as the reader fill find a place to put himself comfortably.
Sir, please continue with your passion which will be a blessing for many of us.
