Hurray! This is the anniversary month of Aha!NOW. This time of the year is so exciting because of  Thanksgiving, and the follow-up celebrations of Christmas and the New Year’s Eve.

This month, Harleena and I feel like celebrating every day. Not because of our blog, but for the real reason that is responsible for the growth of this blog – the dear community members, commentators, and all the readers, visitors, fans, and followers of Aha!NOW.

We never run out of our gratitude towards you all, and this post is another expression of thanks to YOU.

This is no ordinary post. This is about the gems of Aha!NOW.

GEMs are the Gregarious and Engaging Members of the blog, who devote their valuable time and contribute their precious thoughts and views with each other.

We recognize them and their efforts, and this is a spotlight on all the direct or indirect benefactors of the blog, the gems of Aha!NOW.

Leader Board Topper And The Winner of Guest Post on Aha!NOW

It gives me extreme pleasure to announce that this month’s Aha!NOW Blog Community Leaderboard topper is a 17 year old boy from India, Ahaian Rohan Chaubey.

Rohan joined the ABC in October this year and straight away bagged the top spot of the community with his friendly, generous, and helpful personal qualities.

He has a blog called “Learning With TeamSR”, which is all about helping you learn more about new technologies, social media, programming languages, and personal development.

Though new to blogging, Rohan is already teaching the hacks and tricks to bloggers to make it all easy for them.

Being a student of Engineering helps Rohan to keep abreast of all technological advancements and programming languages. He is also going to start a group on Aha!NOW to help bloggers and non-bloggers alike, related to all aspects of technology.

He earns a giveaway of a guest post on Aha!NOW for this month. Congratulations Rohan, and we all would love to read what you’ve in store for us. 🙂

This month onwards, all Ahaians who have won guest posts by virtue of topping the leaderboard, irrespective of the month of winning, are eligible to create groups on the ABC.

The main purpose of having community groups is to have a small gathering of likeminded people, who can discuss on issues and topics of common interest. It is also about helping each other out.

If you want to seek any solutions to problems and want to know the views of all the members of the community, then you go to the blog forums that cater to all the categories of Aha!NOW.

Winner of a FREE Ad Space on Aha!NOW

The runner-up of the month of October is again the runner-up of the month of November.

He is the gem from Lagos, Ahaian Ikechi Awazie. He blogs at AwazieIkechi.com and teaches people to be a light to the world.

His posts are inspiring and he proved that by his guest post on Aha!NOW  “5 Destructive Ways To See Yourself As You Truly Are” .

Having won the guest post last month, Ikechi wins one Sidebar button Ad space for one month. You can find that Ad already shining in the sidebar and telling us why our weakness is an asset.

Ikechi is also going to start a group on Aha!NOW, and this is going to be all about inspiration.

The ABC is surely getting exciting with talented people ready to discuss your interests and help you with your problems.

New GEMs of the ABC

Last month, we had two members of the community who carved a special place for themselves with their engagements and interactions.

They are Ahaian Larry Frank from Nigeria and Ahaian Erik Emanuelli from Italy.

Larry has a blog that’s called FlowingTechBlog. It deals with blogging tips, SEO, gadget & web reviews, make money tips, and other tech related tips. And it turned one year old recently, so go ahead and congratulate him! 🙂

Larry’s blog is a one-stop blog for tech geeks, bloggers, writers, and readers alike.

Erik runs a blog called NoPassiveIncome, which gives you information about how to build a passive income, together with blogging, SEO, social media and internet marketing tips.

He also owns a blogging community Klinkk, where you can vote, share, and get your posts promoted to get traffic and build new connections.

More GEMs of the ABC

The Leader Board topper of October was one of the top GEMs in November too. Ahaian Ravi from BloggingLove proved that he was not a one month gem, but a real one that lasts longer. 🙂

Some more community members that need a mention are the proven gems Yvonne I. Wilson and Sasidhar Kareti, and the upcoming active members Vernon Layne, Nathaniel Kidd, and Mi Muba.

I’m sure they will too work their names to the top of the GEMs in the coming months.

There are tens of other lovely Ahaians who have been active and contributed to the community with their knowledge and experience. I’d love to see all of them among the top brass of the ABC.

I thank them all and I love to see their faces on the Aha!NOW homepage as the most recently active community members.

  10. Hi Vinay and Harleena,

    I did notice the change to the theme right away, specifically the logo but then again the footer too. I know you said changes were coming so nice job.

    Wow, 17 years old. I wish computers and the internet were around back when I was that age but if they had been my parents would have never purchased one. Still that’s amazing that he’s doing so well at that age.

    I see some familiar faces here as your newest members too and I see my face as one of the regular commenters for the month. Thank you for that mention too and you two are doing a wonderful job with your blog and your community. I know even bigger things will be in store for the coming year.

    Thank you both for all you do for the blogging world and be sure to enjoy the rest of your week.

    ~Adrienne

  12. Hi Vinay Kachhara and Herleena,
    Since monday I haven’t been online, I forgot my gadget while going to see a friend which I spent a night at his place. A day off the internet packs alot of work for you the next day.. Lols.

    I never knew you both were this concerned about me, to the extent that you mentioned my anniversary post over here, I really appreciate.

    It feels good being honoured this way, ABC is more or less like a family and I’m really thankful that I could come across it.

    Thanks for the mention once more, and do have a wonderful day ahead you both 🙂

      Thank you so much. I will try my best to write a good post.
      And a BIG thanks for always supporting, sharing and encouraging me.

      Thanks a lot
      – Rohan Chaubey.

  14. Hi Vinay,

    Thanks a lot for mentioning me here again. I was not so active in this month but even after that you have included me in the GEMS is really unexpected to me. I am busy in my studies now a days so don’t have much time to spend here.
    I am amazed that Rohan has achieved his goal. He worked so hard and he deserves to be the top GEM of this month. Ikechi always do his best and again he got it.
    All the other AHA members who worked so hard should be appreciated. I am sure we are going to meet many new people here.
    Thanks for this post.
    Hope you are having a great day.:)
    ~Ravi

    1. Hi Ravi,

      We missed you so much the previous month. I am sure you will be back to the community once your exams have finished.

      Thank you Ravi for those lovely comments and appreciation. 🙂

      ~ Rohan Chaubey.

  15. Hi Vinay

    First of all big congrats to Rohan to be honored as guest author at this wonderful blog for the next publishing and it will surely boost his readership extra ordinarily.

    And also congrats to Ikechi for getting free ad space after becoming eligible for another great honor and benefit from this blog.

    You are right December is the month of celebration and it is more lovely for you as you stepped in to rule the blogging world in this month.

    December is also month of big discounts and an opportunity for those who want to buy more products with lesser amount.

    I think no one have written a post on “How to take full money benefit from December as blogger?”. Month has already set in so next time it would be a great idea.

    I realize being a little lazy in November because of more focus on writing a product review-like post and reading a few newly released ebooks. But I got to know what are the negative effects of participating lesser in a popular forum during this period.

    Thanks a lot for mentioning and compiling this wonderful and inspiration post of achievements of this blog’s and ABC’s awesome community members.

    1. Hi Mi Muba sir,

      Thank you so much. 🙂 And also congrats to you too for being one of the upcoming active members. 🙂

      Thank you
      – Rohan.

    2. Hi Mi Muba

      You really deserved to be mentioned as a GEM as your contributions have been thought provoking. Thank you for the kind words and you are right about the post for December. That is your specialty prof maybe you should write about the topic. Thanks again and have a nice week.

  16. Hello Vinay sir,

    A wonderful GEMS list again. I love to read GEMS list every month.
    Good to hear about the Anniversary month of Aha!Now. A lot of Congratulations in advance.

  31. Hi Vinay sir and Harleena ma’am,

    I want to thank you both from bottom of my heart for your encouragement and support. No doubt Aha!Now is the prime reason for my development in blogging. The hard work you both do to make this blog and ABC community better and better is clearly visible. The thing which keeps on urging me to be active on Aha!Now is because of the friendly and supportive nature of this community. This is the reason why we call it as family and not just community. 🙂

    Thank you so much Vinay sir for that lovely mention. I will try my best to write an interesting guest post. 🙂 Excited about how the groups are going to be.

    Congratulations Ikechi for winning the second giveaway. And also Thank you for always being supportive and positive towards everyone. 🙂

    Special shoutout to my ABC friends – Nathaniel, A.D. Upchurch, Carol ma’am, Chenna, Soham, Sasidhar, Maxwell, Yvonne, Ravi, Swadhin, Vernon, Larry, Mi Muba sir, Nisha ma’am, Philip sir, Rohan, Priya ma’am, Vishnu, Kathi ma’am and many more.

    You all have positively influenced me in some or the other way. Thanks a lot for being a good friend.

    I am grateful for everything. Thank you. 🙂
    Regards,
    Rohan Chaubey.

      1. Hi Vinay sir,

        Thank you so very much sir for those highly appreciating comments.

        I can assure you, it was a community effort. Without each one’s contribution this won’t happen. 🙂

        Also, thank you so much for recognizing my efforts. 🙂 And you are the real super hero of the Aha!Now community. Even your username sounds as cool as a super hero name. Just joking. 😉

        But seriously, it’s you and Harleena ma’am who deserve the whole credit and rather we all should write a post every month to thank you both for creating such a beautiful community.

        With thanks and appreciation,
        Rohan Chaubey.

  32. I am new to this community and am already excited about it 🙂 Great work of building a platform for connecting Bloggers. Way to go!

    1. Hi Nikshep,

      Welcome to the family..errr..community! 🙂

      I’m glad you’re loving it here already. We not only want to connect all bloggers but even the non-bloggers. So the work is in progress and we thank you for your motivation and support.

      Thanks for visiting and have a great week ahead!

    1. Hi Lorraine,

      You are being too kind but we graciously accept your appreciation. We love all the community members and are lucky and honored to have them with us here on the ABC.

      Thank you for visiting and sharing your wonderful thoughts. Have a great week ahead! 🙂

  33. Wow! Rohan deserves this. He has been on the top since the first day of the month. Thank you so much Vinay sir for naming me as a gem of this month too. I congratulate all the other Ahaians for being selected as the gems of November 2014.

    Have a great month everyone!

    1. Hi Sasidhar,

      Congratulations for again being tagged as a GEM. You are one of the most helpful blogger I have met yet. Recently I guest posted on your blog, thanks for that opportunity.

      Haha the algo keeps me on the top maybe because I reply to every new update posted by anyone. Or another reason could be that the algo loves my pic. 😉

      Thank you Sasidhar for being a great friend, I am glad That we met on Aha!Now. 🙂

      ~ Rohan Chaubey.

      1. I am glad to have a friend like you Rohan. Thanks to ABC family for giving such a sibling.

    2. Hi Sasidhar,

      You were a gem and are still a gem. Though I look forward to you being in the top of the gems! 🙂

      You’re right, Rohan showed his true colors from day 1 and lived up to the words that describe a GEM.

      Thank you for being a part of the community and for commenting here. Do have a great week ahead! 🙂

  34. Hello Vinay and Harleena,

    This is a great time of year to give thanks and you both have the added gratitude of celebrating your blog anniversary so congratulations for that. You both do an amazing job 🙂

  35. Hello Vinay and Harleena,

    First of all Congrats to all of the winners and honorably mentioned. We all should consider it to be an honor of the ABC and AhaNOW! What an awesome community of like-minded and very kind people.

    The engagement here is nothing short of superb and that has to do with each of the members and the managers/leaders of AhaNOW!

    I look forward to continue to engage with everyone and make my way to the top of the GEMs.

    1. Hi Nathaniel,

      We’re all responsible for creating this community and the credit goes to each and every community member. I’m glad you like and love the level of engagement here.

      You’ll surely work your way up in the Leader Board, but you already have niched a place in our hearts. 🙂

  36. Hi, Vinay and Harleena,

    Yes, it is a wonderful time of year, and one for giving thanks. You got that right, the real reason is the community members, and I’m thankful to be a part of ABC! 🙂

    Congratulations to Rohan! He’s a dear fellow, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know him.

    Oh, Ikechi won ad space – so happy for him!!! What a fun place to be, and I’ll be sharing this post to encourage others to join. Thanks for making it a great community.

    I’m happy to have left so many comments, yeah!

    Talk to you soon.

    – Carol

    1. Hi Carol ma’am,

      Thank you so much ma’am. I was recently introduced to your blog and I am enjoying to explore it.

      Regards,
      Rohan Chaubey.

    2. Hi Carol

      Thank you and I appreciate your compliments. You are right that this is a fun place to be. Congratulation on the many comments. Cheers and have a wonderful week.

    3. Hi Carol,

      It’s the community that matters and that’s nothing but the truth. And we’re so honored to have you as a gem of the blog and the community. You make us special!

      It’s so kind of you to share the post and encourage others to join. We want this community to be a second home to people and a place where they get care and warmth, love and security beause money is not the prime product of life, but just a by-product.

      Thanks for visiting often and leaving your impressions as comments. Keep doing so and have a great week ahead!

  37. Congratulations on your 4-year blogiversary! I’m one month behind you with The Wonder of Tech and I’m so glad we have shared our journeys together.

    I am proud to be a GEM again and congratulate the winners. This really is a special place, a true GEM on the Internet that helps so many people!

    1. Hi Carolyn,

      This is the blog anniversary month and the blogiversary is at the end of it. Harleena told me how you two shared your blogging journey and that’s really great.

      I’m so glad that you consider so highly of Aha!NOW. We’re honored and thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

      Thanks for your visit and do keep visiting because you motivate and inspire us. Have a wonderful week ahead!

      1. Hi Vinay, Yes, as I recall, Aha-NOW! was launched on December 25, which is the best Christmas gift anyone could wish for. I happen to believe, just as Christmas, December is the Season of Aha-Now!

  38. It’s so great to see and meet the Gems of the month here at Aha! I like the new look here on the site. I really admire these tech bloggers. They’re so smart! I will join the spiritual group as that’s more ‘me’. Congrats on Aha’s 4 year anniversary Harleena and Vinay!

    1. Hi Lisa,

      I’m so glad you like all the gems here. Did you know you are a gem yourself too? 🙂

      We try some changes all the time and glad you like the latest ones. We will soon have the spiritual groups too, as we are waiting for the right person to start them.

      Thanks for your kind words and the wishes, you’re awesome!

  39. hi harleena; so good of you to write these posts every month. I want to congratulate rohan and ikechi and all the other thoughtful commenters on aha now. special shout out to rohan for being the first to review my new ebook. he posted it on his site today, so in effect i’m getting a bonus because he won. i know he will be getting a lot of new visitor. and i know he will totally crush the guest post as will ikechi. wanted to win the ad button this month, and didn’t come up too short. yes i know its all about learning from and supporting each other; but i still like to win. lol and the prize is a cool one. love the idea of being thankful every day. as you know i believe there is something we can find every day that is positive if we just look really hard. well somedays its easy to find. but a lot of days you will have to search for the ray of sunshine. thanks again my friend. keep being your amazing self, max

    1. Hi Max,

      How are you today? 🙂
      Thank you so much for that special shout out and it was pleasure reviewing your book. I hope the e-book gets lots of readers because I could see your hard work behind that.

      Best Regards,
      Rohan Chaubey.

    2. Hi Max

      Thank you for the kind words. I know your busy schedule and I know you love this community. I do hope that you find the time to share your wisdom with ABC.

    3. Hi Maxwell,

      The GEMS post will be a monthly feature. This is the way we can thank all the benefactors of Aha!NOW. It’s great of Rohan to review your new ebook.

      I agree that Ikechi did deliver a blasting post and I’m sure Rohan too will give his best to the guest post on Aha!NOW. Max, you still have a way to win the bottom ad. You’re eligible to start a group on the ABC and all group admins will have the sidebar button ad as a privilege from the second month onwards as a group admin.

      I believe being grateful is a way of life. You’re so right that we can find something positive every day in everything. You just kinda make it a habit of yours, and then it comes easy no matter how the life goes. 🙂

      Thanks for visiting and sharing your wonderful thoughts. Have a great week ahead!

  40. I’m glad to be on that list Harleena!
    You know something? Though one is so busy, it’s difficult to resist the charm of aha-now so there is always a way to create time, jump over here to benefit from one or post.

    Congratulations on building such a great community

    1. Hi Enstine,

      I’m honored that you are a gem of Aha!NOW.

      I can understand how and why you are so busy, and sometimes I too find it difficult to take out time. But I’m so glad that you could create time and read the post and comment here. I really appreciate it very much.

      Thanks for your kind words and it wouldn’t have been possible without your visits and support to create this community. 🙂

      Do have a great rest of the week ahead!
