With this bubbly I salute all of you - my amazing friends on this Iland. Guys I love you all. Totally blessed to know you all and to interact with you at length on so many wonderful issues.
For me it is not so much a record of 400 but the evidence that blogging as a medium is rich, thought provoking and cerebrally engaging. If I were to compile most of these comments I would produce a volume of thought that would be found only in the most enlightened of fora. Thank you all for being patient with me and my taciturn ways. I am humbled by your love.
I would like to individually name all those who participated in this marathon from April 3rd to 30th. Yes, it is officially closed!!!

Borrowing this quote from my friend G man to express my gratitude.
"Kaarwaan kidhar se chala kidhar ke liye ,
Kin mukaam se guzra,
Kahin ruka kahin chalta chala gaya,
Kushnasseb hain ham ki hame saath le kar chala,
Dekhna hai aur kitne mukaam hai manzil tak."
Meharbaani doston.
