Ghumakkad Crosses 200,000 - So What?

Ghumakkad@200,000. So what?
200,000 page views is no big deal.
Internet is full of sites, posts, videos which have millions of views.
So what if Ghumakkad's blog has crossed 200,000 views! It is a miniscule count. Agreed.

Numbers don't matter to us. What gives us joy is our readers' feedback and the fact that Google searches have repeatedly put us on top!

We get a kick when a reader plans a trip to the Andamans after reading our stories of the islands.
We get a high when Google Search selects our story on top! See below three search results two to three years after posting the stories:


We feel excited when readers exchange 'live' messages from places like Bhutan after browsing our stories of the Himalayan Kingdom.
We feel thrilled when readers go to a Tiger Reserve and share their account of first-time-lucky sightings!
We feel humbled when fellow teachers appreciate the use of 'Live' cases (shared by us in the blog) in their MBA classes.
We feel elated when stories like 'Dancing at Eighty' inspire the younger generation of dancers.
We feel blessed when our story of a Covid survivor appeals to 2000+ readers who feel reassured.

We feel great to publish guest stories from teenage readers and senior citizens alike!

We get a sense of fulfillment when my former-students-turned-entrepreneurs make a mark in their lives!

Week after week, Kaun Banega Ghumakkad online Contest triggers inquisitiveness and learning about Nature, Wildlife and Travel. Readers wait anxiously once the next Contest date is announced.

Gratitude
We express our gratitude to each one of you. We wouldn't have travelled this far without you. 

The first 100,000 views of our blog took five years. Whereas the next 100,000 came in three years. All because of you. Take a look at our growth and other statistics below:

For those readers who are new to our blog, you can browse to see the spectrum of our stories in the recent post 'Ghumakkad is Eight'.

We firmly believe in sharing of knowledge and experiences as depicted in the PQ- picturesque quote below.

Once again, a big thank you to each one of you! 
Stay connected, stay safe and stay healthy.
