Although my silly, puppy love-like infatuation for comments hasn't shifted to the animalistic lust stage you exhibit, I do feel that such a transition is quickly brewing within.

On a side note, do you remember me? I did some inteviews on EARTH a while back (well, it's more like 4 years back), and I contacted while you were living in NY.

You need some serious help. Like BCA (Blog Comments Anonymous) or something. Anyway, remember that the comments really only mean something if your posts are genuine. Are you feeling a strong need for acceptance from others? I hate to feed your addiction and all, but maybe you need to talk to some real people of something.

I'm assuming your tongue is planted firmly in your cheek --

Or perhaps you should rethink the role of competition in your life. Is this another of those testosterone-related issues? On the other hand, I find myself checking regularly now to see how many comments you have garnered!

you are hilarious Rahul :)

I love your sense of humor, Rahul,
even with a tongue in cheek smile, I think that we all know how much we like to be acknowledged.

You aren't the only crazy one :-)

And the blog is new and exciting now. When you don't care at all about how many responses you get, I bet you will be complaing about being bored.

So, just enjoy being a kid for a while. It's fun.

Hilarious!

LOL! of course, I have to post!

(psss...would they count if you replied???)lol!
love, Carolyn

Rahul,

All to true... on a daily basis, for most of us in our daily lives...we strive/hunger for that third party approval and/or attention (positive or negative) ...our ego DEMANDS it!

and by the way, you are to funny.
I laughed along with you, on this particular post!

Regards

Rahul: As a "respondee" only, I posted my first response on July 6th--to Gotham--where I said something from 1960's Americana, like, "This is Too Cool for School!"

And it is...Gotham had the courage to bring up the notion of this Intentblog being addictive--and it is.

We found it rather humorous that Gotham was even frustrated that his father was getting more posts than he, clearly an individual the "oppoiste sex" finds to be intensely handsome, articulate, etc., etc., and so it was startling to read something from Gotham like...., (one could "feel" the sheer frustration) "does everything this man write (including his blogs!) turn out to be a best-seller???"

The answer is clearly a very simple "yes." But go-with-the-flow, Rahul, find your-Self (both lower and higher selves, of course) not in contention with the "appearance" of another's success (even, and especially, when you have personal knowledge that confirms this "One" is a talentless deadbeat with no true talent to speak of).

But now.....almost a month later...., with "Time Magazine" exposure, as he stands patiently and cooly, waiting for the "older man in black," an ex-vice-president (and possibly America's "Current" Real President, depending on what state you are from) to finish blabbering and let the "Real Talent" step forward (I personally think all three--despite age, sex, etc.--are Very Cool) and get down to what is "Current and Mainstream" and let the master-of-ceremonies take his place with other "Ex's," in the audience!!!

With, at times, more than 20-30 responses now hitting their initial posts, young Mallika and Gotham are already challenging the fame and reputation of the likes of such literary, healing, teaching, and filmmaking luminaries as our beloved Deepak and Shekhar!!!

Soooo....Rahul, I hear you have something of the basics of becoming more than just slightly "well-known," but don't give up if worldwide fame and fortune do not find you in the first month of Intentblogging, "let your Intention, and 'Attention,' focus inward, Grasshopper, and 'See' yourself as having 30, 40, and even 50+ responses coming to your posts!

But first, "Grasshopper," first you must let go of your expectations--and when you do, you to will experience the 'Divine Addiction' as satisfied!"

Love your humor Rahul!!!! Thanks Much--Dave

*Volunteering to Ghost-write your blog*

Love, Sheba ;-)

Rahul!!! You're sooo funny!

Carolyn is right, you can post yourself, not only will you get more posts, but...haven't you noticed that we, the commentors, are drooling for a response from the bloggers? Lol...

Besides, my philosophy is one of "indulge in your addictions until you're over them" :D...

So...here's another post... just to say hi! :)

And to check if I get any "spam" warning...

:D

Bye!

PS. no spam warning :D

Aurora: Would you please....

....quit being soooo....

.....soooo.....

....honest, accurate, balanced, and.....

....well, you know, colorful--in your prism-like refractions about the truth regarding the rainbow of....

....well, colors--Miss "Borealis of the Northern Lights!" I think....no just teasing, but really--Rahul, you and Chocka and a few others are officially in charge of keeping us from getting tooo.....

...serious!

Your initial humor in the middle of violence, plane crashes, gossip!, media fortunes being made and lost with new TV stars "Currently" on their way....well, it is all too serious--soon it will be complete chaos (just a rumor I heard some guy named Chopra was speaking about--a 'theory,' or something), but...cats will be sleeping with dogs, .....

David :D:D... it's fun, isn't it?

I imagine how happy Rahul is going to be when he sees the number of comments, just like my children when they see many packages under the Christmas tree :)

PS--Rahul: Just checked the Choprablog and you've passed Deepak, Gotham, Mallika, and Shekhar in volume....sshhh!--sooo...just send the money you promised Aurora and I to the address on this return e-mail--OK!!! Keep in touch and don't give anybody this e-mail address....oops....what key did I just???

We could also get the butterflies, turtles and penguins to write a blog post.....our litle spiritual zoo. I must be addicted as I woke up it is 2:40 AM and where did I go....this BLOG! I am talking in my sleep. Joanie

Ps. Good night ;)

Rahul,
I love it! I was holding back but thanks for the encouragement because I thought I was getting obsessed with commenting...:) There is no holding back now.

Rita

Are you happy now...huh! But knowing your greed, you will not stop at this. But you could have restrained from the below the belt comment on my "martyrd post". But my dear friend, I forgive you! On a serious note, I am thrilled that you are becoming such a blogodiarrhea, considering I know how secretive and shy you are. Keep the good work going with juicy and saucey headings so that your motivation to write continues!

Gawd! UNbelievable...u guys seem to have all the time in the world for all this. instead of staying hooked to your comp...anxiously waiting for comments to your post...help yourself..by not wasting your energy! We give out/lose 80% of our energy through our eyes. For the first time, mankind has started staring at a source of light (computers). Comps are dead bodies...they will NEVER return your energy. So, please do yourself a favour and take some blogisapgol so that you can protect and save your precious eyes.

Good Afternoon Rahul . . . many thanks for adding a humourous spin to the blogs! Just wanted to add my 'voice' to your escalating number of blogs . . . hope this helps!

Wishing you a day filled with happiness, joy, laughter and loads of additional posts!!

Keep Smiling . . . Laila

P.S. - Dave and Aurora . . . thanks for your creative action plan to help Rahul with his popularity!

Wishing you both a day filled with an overabundance of laughter, joy, happiness, friendship, hugs, smiles and inner bliss!! KEEP SMILING!!!

Laila

Good night Joanie :)

Nandita, Rahul doesn't like gossiping, so I won't tell anyone he's secretive and shy :D

Kaun Hun Main, there's unlimited energy flowing through us... and I don't think anyone's staring at computers, we are smiling at each other, nodding, patting shoulders, sipping tea, laughing, making faces at each other and generally having fun :) I'm glad you joined us!

Rita, imagine if we all stopped holding back on friendly gestures and comments!

Thank you, Laila, you are obviously smiling yourself :) It's contagious!

Happy Now -- Mr. Khanna.

Rahul! you did it!

Good Morning Aurora! lol

Heheeee... you're up, Joanie. I hope you had a good night, lol..

PS. May everyone have a "regular" rather than irregular "blogging" day. Love, Joanie :)

Hi Rahul,
I love your topics, humor and honesty:-)
I find myself tuning in daily to read all of the interesting blogs.
Thank you to ALL… for your diverse, interesting, enlightening and also humors dialogs.
Love to All,
Robin

You people make me laugh. :)

LOL! I've haven't been able to stop laughing ever since I logged on saw that I had 46 comments! It's hilarious and thank you all for humouring my irreverence.

Kristin, you people make me laugh, too:)

David wrote 30, 40 and 50+ responses, we can't stop now... an intention is an intention. I strongly suggest that you all stop laughing and start posting.

rahul - u can have all my comments - hows that ?
shekhar

Now what were we talking about I forget? ;) Joanie

I'm all blogged up...

Thanks for the wonderful smiles today - you are all amazing!! Keep Smiling and posting everyone!! Laila

lolz...i can't stop laughing..way to go rahul!

Cute and very funny Rahul as we can all relate. I read this post of your because Deepak commented on it and I can see why. Thanks for being real :D

Mallika . . .your comment on letting us in on the fact Rahul was nervous about blogging reminds me of a Richard Bach quote . . . You teach best what you need to learn. We are all doers, teachers, learners.'

Rahul . . . way 2 go!!! Thanks for blogging!! Keep Smiling . . . Laila

HaHaHa...you all are hilarious! :)

Umm...you guys are all crazy! And to think I might not even have read this had Deepak not mentioned it in his blog. Thanks Rahul, and everyone else for giving me something to laugh about in my sleep tonight!

I just wanted to "say," based on something I just "heard," that God, in fact, has been listening in on the obvious "Gossip problem" and infused the "non-local domain with a new archetype-drug" for "Crazed Junkie Whores" who are diagnosed with "severe anal-retentive Intentblogstipation"; in other words, "Your an Addict!"

However, as our illustrious medical persona, Dr. Deepak Chopra (I hear that it was actually David Simon who came up with the following ideas, but it was probably really Tara's idea and these Founding Intentbloggers are characteristically trying to "capitalize" on the innocence of a child speaking the truth--being the "white-collar capitalist pigs they....well, some appear to be mostly somewhat white")...., anyway, Dr. Chopra will indicate on one of his upcoming "Blogs," (just a rumor at this point), that a new and updated version of "Twelve-Step" applications for CJW (Crazed..Junkie...Whore) Syndrome--fully, then, CJWS (like PTSD), is "Currently" (or is it "CurrentTV?") "in the works" for a PBS Special with...you guessed it-Dr. Wayne.....and some ex-VP named Al??? (don't know who this guy is-so it may be another rumor).

As soon as we are able to get Merck or Pfizer in on the "neuropsychoimmunobiochemical" brain functions at work with this disorder---well, we will have a pill for it and we'll get that Seratonin level back up!

Until then--Pray for each other with renewed vigor--as there is still no research happening about "outbreaks of contagious laughter" and what to do about the ever-rising levels of happiness that occur in the wake of humor such as this!

You are not alone in this trauma--Love, Rahul's Friend (no name given as I started a CJWS Anonymous group yesterday).

Good Morning Dave . . .you crack me up! Thanks for the morning giggle!! Have a great day and keep smiling!!

A fellow CJWS groupie!

Laia

I never thought celebrity blogging would be such fun. I thought it will be the usual hype to add their popularity, but this is fun Rahul. :-) Keep on talking! :-)

Absolutely hilarious.

Dear rahul,
you know i have never posted a comment before in my entire life ( probably becasue i have never visited these sections before :))
but i do hope you know that we know that it takes a LOT of courage ( and innocence ) to admit somthing so not positive in such a humours way.

your absolutely brilliant!

cheers!!

here is 65 for u my dear.
ask shekhar for some changes in side.
there should be a mention of the article which received highest comments ( along with the author in CAPITAL ;-) )

Rahul! You are so amazingly funny! I love your sense of humor! I also loved you in Earth, by the way....
Well, you've definitely made me a fan of your blog entries. I look forward to reading more..I'll continue to feed your addiction by posting comments :)

Rahul:

Not sure how you will take this, still here is something straight from the guts:

What you exhibit is a very common tendency.Only when it goes beyond a limit, it is called as 'Grab-Attention-somehow-Syndrome' (GASS:)

The very use of colorful caption like 'crazed junkie whore'has succeeded in eliciting enough responese than you imagined!

BTW, how can one post a new topic (you got your match buddy!)instead of just responding to one's stale GASS? Or, is it 'by invitation only' exlcusive club for celebrities?

I don't know if you'll even see this comment, but just adding to your addiction. I'm such an enabler.

a lot of people are probably too intimidated to leave you a comment. I know I was at first!

he he .. nice one Rahul .. U are not the only one who feels like this .. I have seen many bloggers who just keep refreshing their blogs in the hope of a new comment :) [I am one of them ]

keep posting

Well i feel the contrary...not that extreme but yeah people shud just read my blogs... comments or no comments dont matter to me ... well rahul at least i have increased ur comment count by 1 ;-)

by the way u write well...

Hey Rahul,

You just made us do it. Comment that is. Want some more of them? We'l be happy to oblige.

Affly,

Tony and Hanit
