Subject: Chapati MysteryDear all!
Pardon the mass email. It will be the last under the "cool" heading that most of you have been suffering from me in the past.
In that regard, I draw your attention tohttp://www.chapatimystery.com
this will be my home for a while.
hope to hear from you there.cheers,
manan
ps. i am sepoy.
Cute, no?
In the next day or so, I will be posting a HUGE HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT. I would make it now but I don't have the necessary graphic and you know how it is, without fotos, life is just bland.
I love you all, I love Lapata and Farangi and Patwari and everyone who has ever read and commented and shared and liked and spread a word of CM. It really has been an amazing experience and I will write more gushy stuff on this in the MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT etc.
GO PARTY!
Very nice.
Awwww - happy blog birthday Sepoy!
Happy blogiversary! Well done, CM! (It was one of the first academic blogs I ever read.)
Happy birthday, CM! I hope the grand announcement means more CM.
