Today, I am three.
Who am I, you ask? I am a medium, a voice, a window to the little universe that revolves around two boys. I am the blog you read, I am the Kronicles.
Three years ago, today, I was born as the Kodimeow Kronicles. My purpose of existence was to record cute moments with the then-9mo Kodi. So the family could have a little scrapbook of sorts to rewind and relive. A little hobby, that’s all I was. The digital format was so much easier and accessible. But why make it public? Because there was no reason not to! I mean, who’s going read this stuff, right?
Right. Who’s going to read this stuff, indeed. I didn’t know then there were many other windows being opened just like me, and new channels of communication being forged. I didn’t imagine I’d become part of this cozy little neighborhood where you hear so many different stories, and be heard.
I have been an easel to splash around words, a sounding board, an advice column. I have been a photo album, a playback recorder, a Pensieve. And I know that if I keep this up, someday, I will also be a huge liability.
Where I go from here, I know not. My creator – the blogger previously known as Kodi’s Mom who has now rechristened herself (yet again!) – keeps switching between “This is the best thing ever!!” to “What do I do when all this comes back to bite me?” All I know is, she doesn’t intend to lock me down. I may morph into something else. Maybe. But if that happens, I know she’ll take months to get her act together, so I’m safe for now.
Till then, stay put and thanks for all the comments. You keep me alive.
Signed,
the Kronicles.
(The blog that speaks its mind once in three years.)
ps: One of you – or many of you – come here searching for “kodi’s mom” / “kodimeow kronicles” / “kodimeow” – who are you? And why do you search, when you can subscribe? Just curious, that’s all. No pressure to reveal yourselves or anything….Heck, who am I kidding! It is for m2KnP – that’s what she’s calling herself now – go figure! It is to stroke her ego and please her with numbers, okay? Now that we’ve made that clear, can we have a show of hands – who lands here looking for us? And if you know her in real life, do wave a hello!

A very happy birthday to you, Kronicles
and do tell the blogger (previously known as Kodi’s mom) that I kinda liked her new name – it looks very much like an exotic chemical !!!
Here’s to more equations !!

Agree with Gauri.. seems like a chemical notation.. so I will continue to refer to you as Kodi’s mom (cant stand chemistry.. never could!). Happy Birthday to the kronicles.. and wish you the best for many more years of happy blogging!!

Chemicals it is. Gauri, that was brill!
Okay KPM (new formulae:D)….there is precious little that can compare to the joy of opening up the reader to see a ‘1′ in bold marked against KK. That post that you said was a trip down memory lane for you, is one for me too…for it reminds me of our earliest mail exchanges. 3 years may be a little more than infancy in babyhood, but for blogging and for the kind of connections you have forged, its like a lifetime. Congrats and raising a toast to many many many more!

gal, you do know that it would never have started if not for you. thanks again, for igniting that initial spark. ditto abt the joy of seeing a post or comment, a longish one esp, from you!
