Encounter with Mr. Amitji's official blog 'srbachchan'

Last night I was eagerly awaiting for the dawn without falling asleep. The reason being, everyone’s old pal ‘Pain’ was giving me a company. Instead of it ruling over my mind, I decided to do the opposite. I tried to ignore it that’s when I came across the blog that Mr. Amitji maintains and updates daily. I guess, yesterday I was first amongst all readers of his latest blog. 2.22 AM

First glance made me go through the blog in details. Common tendency in humans, we enjoy knowing more about celebrity and their personal lives. With the same thought I visited his blog. I kept on reading older and older posts. I do not remember when did I stop imagining him as an Actor but more of a writer while reading his posts. His writing, for sure must have inspired many lives and will keep on.

I am sure 9 out of 10 readers will get addicted to his blog. His writing made me turn towards his fathers creation, putting on efforts to read and pass on.

I checked out per day comments on his every single post and being from a software technology domain, I can’t stop thinking that one day guys at Tumblr may have to rebuild a new data base due to size limitations, jk.
