All the words mean hundred in Tamil, English, Spanish, Italian and German.
That is the number of posts in my blog.
Yes, a celebratory post. 100 posts and the other thing I am celebrating, 10 days early though, is my one year blog-anniversary. 2007, April 22 was the date I published my first post.
As I am typing this post, I only have 98 posts in my blog and if I publish this particular post, it will be the 99th post. But today was such a nice day and I couldnβt contain myself. What the heck? I decided to type my 100th post right now and my 99th post a while later.
What was so good about today? I donβt know, some days just have the right feel about them. The kids still took their own sweet time to finish their breakfast and did have their little squabbles, the husband and myself did snap at each other a couple of times. But over all I feel pretty uppity today!
The best part of the day, the kids did some gardening with their dad – all the summer vegetables are now planted. Hubby toiled, gave instructions and managed the little critters pretty efficiently. Chula did followed directions really well. Mieja walked behind hubby and engaged in pulling out the plants that were just planted. Some how we gave her a small, empty watering can and asked her to water the plants. So she walked around all the plants talking to them, βHele, WAADEL. Paant, hele WAADELβ. I just hanged around shooting pictures and videos. So we all did our part π
Now to some stats.
Number of posts = 100
Number of comments = 875
Total views = 34,805
Views today = 172
Best day ever = 393 views, Mar 27, 2008, Thurs
Top three posts

Surviving Chicken Pox β 561 views
BTW, people who come to my blog using these google search terms, you scare me.
I would elaborate on certain questions I have about these search terms, but thanks to Google(!@#$%^%), I would attract more of these people like a magnet.
Its been a great ride so far guys.
Oh, you know what this means right? Lurkers leave a comment and identify yourself.
48 Responses for "Nooru * Hundred * Cien * Cent * Cento * Hundret"
Look at that… This is your Shri Raghavendra, your Raajapaarvai, Your Captain Prabhakaran… (okay I always stop with vijaykanth)
Congratulations
Good one Beeves and thanks.
Congrats UTBT!!!! Scary…those search terms…but congrats again!!!
Not a lurker, very much a REGULAR!! What the heck. Got to celebrate π
Also, wanted to say:
– You write very well, you have a natural flow with the pen.
– Meija and Chula have a wonderful sense of humor.
– Very neat, very well analysed and articulate CD posts, precise to the point.
– And I love your one-liner punch messages. Can I get a crash course on that? Pl?
I can say a lot more, if only I knew to express my thoughts in words eloquently. The comment is probably already looking a power point presentation π
Thanks Shobana.
Ddmom. Come on, whats with the humility. You amaze me all the time with your sense of humor and your energy to network!
Congratulations. I drop into ur blog often..
Thanks Timepass.
100th post… wow thats pretty impressive !!
Many more posts awaited !!
happy 100!
i’m pretty sure i’ve commented before, but…
HI!
100 mubarak ho! π
Oh UTBT.. its been only a year since you started blogging, Is it!, but I feel I know you for ages.. I am reading through the reader and me being the lazy one not commented on any posts for sometime now. But this is a celebration and so.. I have delurked.
I think I must have told you many times before that you write so so so well and your sense of humor is great.
Wish I had 10% of your writing calibre. Can you believe that I started my blog 2.5 years before and I have not even crossed 50.
I wouldnt lurk if I actually had something to say but since i don’t… I pop in once in a while coz I enjoy your writing.
Congratulations on your 100th post.
Hi Utbt,
I have been a major contribution to those number of views! I don’t know how many times I have read and re-read some of your posts. And each time I am amazed at the clarity and the choice of words. I have been meaning to write you a note and somehow today it is – when u feel all uppity!!
Congratulations on your 100 and looking forward to many many more.
Best Wishes,
Reva
Utbt Congrats on the 100th post..I wish you all the best and thanks for entertaining readers like us and keep us entertaining

Great job on your century mark. Hearty congratulations.
Hearty congratulations on your century mark. Looking forward to many more centuries.
Congrats on the 100 and the anniversary π
sort of delurking, just started reading your blog.
congrats! π
Congrats Pal! Like everything you do, you blog with a flair as well. Heres to many more!
And to flaunt my basic German skills and since I paid a fortune to learn it, its Hundert and not Hundret. π
Congrats on the century!
The search terms.. grrr…. but we can’t do anything about it.
Btw, it’s hund*ER*t in German.
Ooops.. didn’t see Boo’s comment on hundert! Sorry!
Congratulations!!I have been a regular reader of your blog,delurking for the first time.
Yay ! Wow Congrats. I’m your earliest reader and biggest fan out here ! I love the way your write, the topics you choose, all your thoughts on child rearing, everything!
So much so I don’t even mind that you don’t do pictures π
And yeah I’m in total awe of your organization capabilities, and your cooking..
BTW nooru is also 100 in Kannada ! Although it is probably pronounced as Nooroo
I wake up in the morning and look at the comments and what do I see? A flood of comments!! What more can I ask for? That put a smile on my face. Thanks you guys.
Poppins Mom, yes, one of my very first readers. Nooru in kannada too? Why am I not surprised?
Welcome Aruna. Thanks for delurking.
Asha, Boo, thanks for pointing out the Hund’er’t.
Theradicalancient, welcome here.
Valleyblogzine, Balaji, Yaadayaada, Kay, thanks.
Smitha, Reva, thanks for commenting.
Mona, Moppet’s mom, thanks.
Kowsalya, thanks. Yep, I do feel that I know some bloggers for ages! Guess it is a direct consequence of reading them often!
CONGRATS on your century!
and you know that many languages??! one year of blogging, 100 posts and I think we’re just beginning to get to know you π
I love your posts a whole bunch, and I always think of you as the beacon in the mommy blogosphere – the one who sheds light on what really goes on in those little heads we have to deal with everyday!
Hope you’ll share more of your knowledge with us, combined with that sparkling sense of humor!
congratulations.. heres to another hundert and then some π
as for the search terms… its ironic that you should get them while i do the posts on the most non-child friendly topics!!! LOL! oh well – i have enough trolls anyway – i dont need perverts to add to it.
Congratz UTBT!!!
You have amazing kidz with amazing sense of humor. I started reading your posts only a week back but a crazy fan of all of them. I wait and check everyday if there is a new post. I even recollect the post and discuss with my hubby thru out the day. Esp the the posts that made me laugh like crazy with Chula’s comedy.
Looking fwd for more fun and thought provoking posts from you.
Congrats. thats an awsome milestone! I love your posts for their breezy style. Keep em coming!
hey! congrats….I am a bit late today, as I got busy in the morning. But I do visit your blog everyday as I have you in my reader π Happy blogging!
Aargee, DotMom thanks.
Nash Mom, ‘discuss’ with husband? I have noticed that what ever I say about my own children hardly registers in my husband’s head π So about the blog world kids ….snoooooze! So how does it go in your house?
Thanks MM. Initially I used to think that this
post is the root cause of problems. But I was looking at the stats, even before the above mentioned post, many have searched for banyan tree porn and landed in my blog. GOK???!!!
Kodi’s mom, no dear, I know only two languages – English and Tamil. Even with those I sometimes doubt if I know them properly! But again, thanks to google, no one ever never needs to know anything. I suspect, in the future, we don’t even have to think, may be google will do it for us *shudder*.
Humility – no… I know it sounds formal to say all that.. but this was your 100th post and thought would be the perfect time to give my speech. I could never say all this in person without grinning end to end π
Hi UTBT,
Congrats on the anniversary!! I am sure this blog will see many more. π
:).My hubby neither getz these things into his mind..but u know these are the topics that i can discuss without ending up in any kind of argument..So i bravely step up for these discussions..:)
HI – Congrats on your 100th post. I loved all your book reviews. Bought a few after reading your recommendation..thanks a tonne for that. Will keep visiting.
Cheers
Congrats on the hundred! I like the idea of getting done with the 100th before doing 99th π
I just wrote a post somewhat related to yours on “Sexualization of young kids” here –
