BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER

This is the award, I received from SG In his words..........She is one of my favorite blogger. She writes on different subjects and is not afraid to voice her opinions.... I am feeling so humbled and honored and cant thank him enough. I always write what I feel and what I do and can never be a hippocrate.. I know this, but being acknowledged by others is a very different feeling and has made me feel at the top of the world:) Thank you SG !
Now i would like to pass this award to......(to me a blogger is more important than his/ her writing and its more important for me to like them as a person, then only I can read them, so please bear this idiosyncracy of mine, as I would write more about the person
Amrita......For me she is an Ideal young girl.....the way I want a young generation to be..educated , working and living with her family with love and respect.
Shruti sriharsha:..She is a very sweet and a kind girl.
Swat: a modern girl with traditional values intact.
Shades of Grey:..A very nice person

Thanks for writing

La belle dame sans merci...awarded me with this beautiful award, her words are so sweet that i want to quote her here..........

I wud like to thank all my readers but specially thank the commentators who take an effort to leave their opinion n motivate me and this award is for the extra special people who are here regularly marking me feel alive and important, so i know i am not blabbering to myself here, i do have an audience for the crap i write ... So here we go, this is for u for putting up with me :)anoobhooti - Renu! am sure she knows this is coming to her first! i was unknown, unsettled, unorderly and almost felt unwanted in this blogosphere until i knew that she'll be among the first few to comment... n i try to watch my language too for her :) (ah can u believe i jus said that?)... and yea she is my lucky charm, somehow after she started makin visits, this place has become a picnic spot :) my circle of blog friends has increased invariably.

I am so very much honored Swarna, thank you for all the love you shower on me, because for me love is more important than accolades even.

Your reference has made me sure that i am really lucky for others:) hey i am not being arrogant or anything like that, its just that i am happy and sharing my happiness:) and it reminded me of a few other incidences also...once i was in Dewas and there i started buying my groceries from a very small shop near to our place.Once , he was extra courteous and nice to me, when i asked the reason, he said..madam since you started buying here, my shop is doing very well, i felt so happy, and the same thing happened at one more place. And now when we went to Dakshin chitra..the lady astrologer there said..that you H and children..if they do anything in ur name, it will be very succesful..........its all for fun and feeling happy, nothing else:), there is no harm in being narcisstic also sometime:)

Now since most of the people have got all these awards, i wouldnt like to name anyone. its for everyone who writes something worth reading.

And pass it on!
I have done this exercise before and since I am also new to blogging lets see what I have in store:), and most of the bloggers I read have already got it, I like two for their visul apeal,Vamsi parini and HOBO.

Now my third one ,( actually fourth one, the first i got from Hiphopgrandmom)


For million dollar friend award---
Cess has awarded me this, cess u r really a darling, u have made me precious worth a million dollar:) OMG, I must get myself insured now:)

Though cess, nancy are one of my best friends, but they have already given me,so they are not included here

1. salil: when i read his first post, I knew i will read him regulary:)


2. destination infinity: so thought provoking posts on some very important issues


3. Swats & Rebel: both are very dear to me.


4. smriti: she is very precious friend to me, she is my sounding board, my assistant, sometimes my boss also., in something a replica of me and sometimes a total contrast


5. My space: i like her. period. actually we start liking anybody for multiple reasons, but the main is most of the time..we find certain similarities between us , may be a match of sensibilities, habits, thoughts, ethics whatever.


6. Monika: She has a certain individuality which is very endearing, and one thing is special, she always agrees with me but PARTLY, I am waiting for the day she will agree with me completely:).


7. Hiphopgrandmom; I always chk her blog for some new wisdom, nothing frivolous about her writings

some blogs look good to eyes but they are written on black back ground, for me to read them is a pain in the eyes, so I remain unprivileged to get their content.
. and please all my friends, I request you to come and collect ur awards from my blog:)
I like each and every reader of my blog and they are precious to me, but I dont know whether i can take the liberty of calling them my friends, so...........

Brilliante Weblog award

Hip Hop Grandmom has decided to give me the "Brilliant Weblog Award". This is given to sites and blogs that are smart and brilliant both in their content and their design. I feel very honored due to two reasons---

1. She is a teacher and I have a high regard for them, so getting it from her is important.
2. I am quite new to blogging and a complete novice among the new generation of computer geeks.

The rules are:

1. When you receive the prize you must write a post showing it,together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back
2. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design
3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with ‘Brilliant Weblog'
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize(optional).
5. And pass it on!

Now I need to pass this award to bloggers of my choice whom I love and care about. and read and enjoy their blogs,see when I have to select, then it has to include emotional part into it:), because otherwise i dont find myself competent enough to decide,everybody is better than me.

1. Reflections: I love reading about her two lovable little angels!
2. .Sans merci: She is a modern educated girl with Indian values.
3. My space: She writes in a very easy going way and even the simple things become very interesting.
4. SWATS: Her writings are full of exuberance and interest in every detail of life, however minute.
5. Rebel all the way: I like his simplicity and righteous attitude.
6. shalom: Again I find her a very nice and righteous person.
7. Smriti: Though she is my daughter, she is a very creative person, makes beautiful cards, .and then she has been my teacher for blogging:)

I would've loved to give it to so many others too; but I'm limited by the number of people I can list, i love Piper and Cess , but they have already received it। My daughter says that u should write the things u like about the blog but I am like that, first i must like the person and then blog:),and if i like the person, I like evrything about him/her, even for filmstar or anybody, for me it is necessary to like them personally then their work, I cant help it, I am made that way, so please bear with me with a smile:)

Some I couldnt include, doesnt mean I dont like their blogs, No, i like them also, but i wanted to leave a few for others to link.
