It's A Site For Sore Eyes
In view of the fact that today is International Self-Indulgence Day (okay, so I just made that up!) I couldn't resist bringing this to your attention. I just got an SMS from my mother-in-law (no, no, I really do love my mother-in-law!) to say that there are some very kind words about this blog in today's edition of `The Statesman', a 130-year-old daily newspaper in Calcutta. In the Unplugged section of the paper is an article headlined Choc-a-blog. It says:
``In simple words, this is an alternative to a traveller’s or a spectator’s diary. From Barbra Streisand to David McMahon, blogging is a great way to while away time and present before the Internet community information that doesn’t find way into media through conventional channels. There are many websites offering you space to blog your views, information and plans.
``david-mcmahon.blogspot.com : What a site! David McMahon is from Kolkata and is at present living in Australia. He is a journalist, photographer and novelist. He takes pride in the success of his first novel, Vegemite Vindaloo, more so because it has found a prominent spot at Oxford Bookstore. When he visited the city last month, he made sure the camera did not fail on him. Interest never ceases while you go through postings such as ``A View To A Keel'', ``Waltz, Disney'', ``Anything I Canoe, You Canoe Better'' and ``Join The Dots''. Humour is David’s best friend and he finds interest in whatever his eyes rest on.''
Nice to know. Thank you, whoever wrote those kind words.
