Love letters to Chandoo.org
Hi folks,
Today is valentines day. So I thought I should share a few love letters I recently got.
Correction: These letters are not for me, but for our site – Chandoo.org
Addendum: Don’t write me off yet. In my college days I did get all of 17 love letters, mostly because campus postman mistook me (room number 79) for the six foot athletic hunk in room number 29.
While I may not get cat calls & suggestive remarks when I walk on the street, Chandoo.org, the site would totally be kissed and hugged by people of all sexes and ages (well 21 and above).
You see, our site is like Ryan Gosling of Excel websites (or Mila Kunis). Those of slightly older can imagine Chandoo.org as George Clooney or Marissa Tomei of the data analysis world.
How else can I explain the barrage of love letters I get for Chandoo.org?
