Avish has just published the results of his blog survey in Mauritius and he has given me a Blogger of Honour award for (I quote) being one of the earliest Mauritian blogger still blogging. I hope I’ve not been given this award because I am old (as I still consider myself a young man even though I’m 35 
)
In January 2007, I wrote a post with the title Why do I blog? In it I quoted Sam Ruby who wrote in 2002:
“So why do I blog? Because it works. It finds worthwhile things for me to read. It helps me refine and focus my thoughts and be more productive too. And most of all, [it] creates the opportunity to interact with more interesting people. That’s what’s in it for me.”
Thanks Avish both for the award and for having taken this excellent initiative 
congratulations!
thats an equivalent to Lifetime ACHIEVEMENT Award! 
*kidding*
sincere congratulations, keep blogging n show the way to noobs!
(lyk me.. )
Congrats for the awards…
Well, its true that the there are only a few bloggers left from the first generation of mauritian bloggers. Some of them blog, but on a irregular frequency, but they still do participate in blog discussions.
congrats!
with a smiley like that you would scare people away.

The one reason I don’t blog or have a website is because I don’t have anything to put there, and I think everyone who is the same situation as me should do the same instead of having emptyish blogs.
There are some people who do have interesting blogs and it’s a much better idea to participate on their blogs, and yours seems to be one great one – which is why I will lurk around to annoy you once in a while with my thoughts lol. Keep up the good work!
P.S. As for your blog design, why not make the background image static? It ain’t much but am a great fan of these
Congrats again. No ofcourse its not coz you are old…infact I gave all the awards based on the votes but wanted to give one based on the dedication of the blogger and surely this blog satisfies the criteria
If I am not wrong this blog is more than 4 years old and I dunno any other Mauritian one who have this blogging dedication for so long. Blogging Rules 
Keep up the very nice posts.
To Fluxy:
As far as I can see on my Mac using Safari, the background is static. It is not a plain colour though.
To Avish:
Yeah. I started in March 2004 so therefore that would be 4 1/2 years of blogging. It has been a lot of fun and I’ve learned a lot.
its been some time now that i visit noulakaz, learned a lot . thanks
Congrats and keep up the Good work
Btw the smiley kinda reminds me of D.K.Maripuri (another mastermind)
You are surely becoming old.That’s why Avish gave you that award.
**Life time achievement award**
Just messing.
Congratz for the award.I won’t ask for a party because I won’t get it..
**cough cough some one from these comments owe me like 5 parties cough cough**
4.5 years of blogging.Awesome.
We are still “kids”.Hope to be on the same level as you one day.
Have a nice day.
Cheers,
Tushal
Thanks for the nice words
As for blogging for four and a half years, I have to confess that I didn’t find it too tough. As a matter of fact, I love to communicate (too much for some…) and blogging is an excellent means to let others know what you think. Having comments and, therefore, “friends” is also an excellent bonus.
I am also fortunate to have a wife who is Internet-savvy and who understands the need for a blog i.e. I don’t have to justify the few hours spent per week every other day.
