Gunners Shot

It is a matter of honour and pride that ‘Gunners Shot‘ has recorded Two million views spanning 477 posts. ‘Gunners Shot‘ is now viewed across more than 25 countries with a daily viewership ranging between 1500 -3000. Little did I know that when I posted my first post on 04 Feb 19, I will be able to write so much and be read so much. Initially the response to my articles was low…typically…if there were 50-views per day on the blog…it was celebration time. As things evolved, viewership increased. The feedback has largely been positive. At this juncture, I sincerely  thank the editor of a leading portal who rejected my article  Defence in Distress @ https://www.gunnersshot.com/2019/02/defence-in-distress-by-lt-gen-p-r.html .  That rejection prompted me to start this blog. The great learning is that failure and disappointment should never deter us. One can always make a new start even at 62. Never too late in life.   

On this occasion I sincerely thank all my readers who have regularly read what I have written and given me some great feedback and encouragement. It has kept me motivated to write as authentically as possible based on some amount of research. Your continued indulgence in this blog will keep me motivated and I look forward to it. 

I also thank think tanks and media platforms who have been regularly publishing my articles. If there are more platforms wanting to join in, I will be more than happy to share my articles and video presentations. It will be at no cost and no agenda. My only intent is to write from an Indian perspective keeping Indian interests uppermost in my mind. It has also been my endeavour to deconstruct the hype surrounding China, Pakistan and Western thinking. While doing so I have been propagating an indigenous thought process best suited for India. My narrative is purely Indian. I would also like to qualify that my writings are totally apolitical with no bias towards any side – Right, Left or Centre.

At this juncture I wish to sincerely thank my wife Lalita who has been correcting each and every  article of mine to smoothen the rough edges and  make the presentation better. My son, Vijay, helped me construct the Gunners Shot website. My daughter Sudha initiated me into making my own graphics and bails me out when in a fix. She helped me set up the blog three years back. To that extent this blog is a product of a true Gunner family. I can not thank them enough.
