Back on January 21, 2004 I exulted in the fact that I had received 50 subscribers to this blog – Tiffinbox. Well today, thanks to you all, I have reached another milestone when the 100th subscriber joined this list!
Your site “TIFFINBOX” received 1 new subscribers today.
It has 100 total subscribers and is ranked #196 on Bloglet.
What would make this experience even richer is if you all could take the time to comment or email me your suggestions. During a recent panel on blogging, I lamented that most of those comments I do receive (and have to delete) are from spammers. Well, let's change that around shall we? It would be great if you could keep your eyes peeled for content that would make for an interesting read for everyone.
Some of you have already told me that the site needs a redesign and badly. I am working on that, I assure you. My friend Arindam Mukherjee has designed a new logo. I'll be releasing both the logo and the site in the next few weeks. If there are features you would like to see on this site that you have seen elsewhere, do let me know. I'll be happy to see if it will make or break the site.
While 100 is a great round number, this site isn't just about increasing traffic. It's about involving each of you in this experiment in such a way that we can raise our collective awareness of the similarities and differences within South Asian culture and its ultimate relationship with rest of the world. It's a tall order, no doubt, but it can be done through thoughtful dialogue and an exchange of ideas which could take shape as photography, writing, art & design.
So, if you know of people involved in any of these endeavors, send them my way – email me at: tiffinbox {at} pipalproductions {dot} com. I'll be happy to post a blog about them and link to their website, if they have one.
I welcome all of you to participate and to let others know about Tiffinbox.

Congratulations! I’m afraid I’ve found that subscribing to a blog is the best to make sure I don’t read it, so I won’t break your 100, but I’m glad I’ve found it.

Not sure what you mean! Subscribing dissuades you from reading the entire post? Do explain.

Hey Anna,
Yeah, it’s up to 102 (unles Bloglet is lying!) How many people ACTUALLY read the content I post here is a mystery. At least 102 have signed up for the feed!
Thanks for commenting!
