BlogWorld's Jaadoo ki Chchabbi

Jaadoo ki Chchabbi aKa a warm-hug - as popularised by Munna Bhai MBBS is a wonderful concept. In the one-time Best Seller Chicken Soup for the Soul, we are told:

We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.

It feels so nice too, to hug,gives a sense of reassurance, a sense of strength, .... and I can keep writing... Jaadoo ki Chchabbi - it's surely a magic wand for all those in Human world. I was wondering what could possibly take the role of this Jaadoo Ki Chchabbi in the BlogWorld - and increasingly I find tagging as a possible alternative. And I would put all my weight in this line of thought.

First things first, I seriously did not like this point of getting "tagged" - as if you were a commodity - or as if you were an animal - I guess a better way would possibly be to say you are "e-hugged" :D

Now, I haven't noticed it seriously but I find that I have been "e-hugged" by my blogger friends Khurana (twice!) and Mythalez . I notice that just the way one has named it "tagging" - I wonder how the first person who chose to tag chose the questions - and I see that there are different set of questions in different kinds of tagging - as expected - even hugs are of different kinds!

More research needs to be done in this area and as you see - "e-hugging" as a concept needs to be studied. So no standards have been set yet, and this could possibly interest a few researchers on blogging :) And since there are no standards as of now, I have decided to continue the tradition of "tagging" phenomena - I e-hug my both friends. I hope they'll at least find my hug as is needed for "survival" :)
