      Thank you for sharing this, Venka.  Chitra, congratulations in reaching this milestone on HP.  Your article is perceptive, encouraging and thoughtful.  ”Change is unavoidable and inevitable.” This is very true as are the other reflective and honest statements in this well-written commentary.  Thank you for the wonderful support you have given many writers here, on the Hub. It is greatly appreciated.

      Thanks for sharing Venkat.
      
      Thirteen years here at HP Chitrangada we all know is just a portion of the life you lived during that time period, yet is a reflection in some senses. I have enjoyed reading some of your articles I caught being posted in the forums. Thanks for your contributions both as an author of articles and a contributor here in the forums.
      
      I really appreciated your sharing your experiences here at HP. Yes, a lot of change while at times was a whirlwind and not a gentle rain. I like yourself grew as an individual through the writing adventure here at HP learning the in and outs, the this and thats, and honing writing skills in different venues.
      
      For you as well as many of us our adventure opened a door as it is now doing for you again entering your 14th year . . .
      
      
      
      I have learned the key is being aware . . .

   Hi Venkatachari, I just started a similar post but saw you beat me to congratulate, Chitrangada, so deleted it.
   
   Congratulations on this significant milestone, Chitrangada. You have always been a valued member of the HubPages community, and good friend. Like you, I am still here, and hoping for a brighter future.

      Hi, John. It doesn't matter whether I am first or it is you. We are all here sharing our thoughts and spreading love.
      
      I was just wondering how my first post providing the link was marked as 13 hours ago while the second post was marked as 12 hours ago. I wonder how a gap of one minute transformed into one hour.

   I just read your wonderful article on hubpages, Chitrangada, and I think you did a great job at covering the many benefits that hubpages has offered its writers throughout the years. As your insightful article points out that to be able to share ideas, reflect on many important timely topics, and to be able to express our humanity through a publishing medium is a such a worthwhile venture. Writing and expressing our thoughts is such an important part of our humanity and can help us to learn and grow in many ways. I’ve also enjoyed be exposed to different cultures and their unique histories. I’m sure my fellow writers would all agree that you certainly have been an important part of hubpages and have made so many positive contributions to this site! And also I would also like to thank you for all of your invaluable support that you’ve given writers on this site for so many years. Congrats on your hubbiversary for 13 years and I hope that you can celebrate many more at this site!

      Hi Lora,
      I am so glad to read your insightful and positive feedback on my post.
      I agree with your thoughtful words. HubPages has provided us a platform to express our thoughts on various topics and it has been an enriching journey. No doubt, things are not the same as earlier, but that doesn’t take away what we have gained through the platform. Life itself keeps on changing and we have to move forward with the flow.
      My best wishes to you and let’s hope for a brighter future for everyone.
      Once again thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.

   Thanks for sharing this one.
   
   Chitrangada...
   You've accomplished a great milestone.
   Congratulations!
   
   Don't worry about that 13... I actually think it's a lucky number because with Jesus & the disciples... it equals 13.
   
   I always look forward to reading your writing. 
   Perhaps Hubpages will improve one day soon.
