It suddenly happened…Alpha Ideas has crossed a Million Page Views.It took the blog roughly 18 months to do so.
I started the blog as a lark and after some persistent goading by my wife.Never really expected people to notice it amongst the millions of other websites/blogs out there.
That it has gathered a readership following of some sort is a kind of a miracle in its own way .
I am grateful to you, dear readers, for patronizing the blog.Do keep the tweets,bouquets and brickbats coming in.
