There is a point in every blogger’s life when the blog starts to feel like an extension of their self. You’ve done time staring at a blank screen, trying to think of something just so the topmost post on your blog won’t date back to a month ago. You’ve started seeing future posts in the everyday occurrences of your life. Suddenly you realize that,  at work or traveling or talking, you catch yourself thinking, “Can blog about this”. That, my dear friend, signals the fact that you are well and truly a blogger by identity now!

No matter what your blog is about, at some point of time, you’ll have (or at least consider) an event that you want to post. It could be a friend’s wedding, a blogger meet, a press conference, a music concert or even a short vacation. Blogging about a one-time event is a special case and has its own unique tricks.

One of our Jasoos Indian Bloggers mailed us this morning saying that after a long time Karuna removed his glasses to see what is ‘really’ happening around him. It seems he has decided to take sanyas from Politics (only till the next elections). He has also decided to marry Jaya to form a formidable ‘coal’ition to thwart Congress away from the southern state.

No offence meant, just a few smiles! On a similar note, here are the #perkytweets for this week to drive away your Monday blues. Read on.

Here are the weekend reads to divert your mind off all this frenzy.

This is a blog post by Dibyasundar Nayak who came up with Visual Perky Tweets after the famed Perky Tweets by BlogAdda.

They say, “A picture is worth a thousand words” and they are not wrong. You can understand something better if you see it than if you read it. Same applies for jokes too. If we check the history of jokes (I am certainly not a joke historian), we find that jokes are traditionally either read or listened when others share them. Comedy shows are the only place we see a joke (many a times the judges on the show laughing for nothing becomes a joke).

On the other hand, we get more jokes to read, for example on SMS, in Magazines and lately as Perky Tweets on BlogAdda. Regular readers of BlogAdda must be aware of what Perky Tweets are. But how about taking it a step further? Lots of people share funny pictures on twitter. Why not a Visual Perky Tweets segment then? So, here are some funny pics shared by tweeps and selected as Visual Perky Tweets.
