Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well - Voltaire.
Appreciation is always married, in fact very happily, to motivation. A word of appreciation, to an aspiring person, is like millions of ways towards perfection. The one who appreciates will, and must, deserve utmost gratitude. Voltaire is true.
Alka Narula is one such graceful person who appreciated my work in the bloggers world. She has bestowed upon me an award, Awesome blogger award, which is equal to an Oscar, for me. I am a beginner when compared to some of the indomitable writers. I knew her through Indiblogger, one of the most suitable forums for bloggers.
I thank you for your noble gesture Alka. You have been an inspiration. Thanks a lot. This award means a lot to me and i hope to live up to expectations.
As per the rules for accepting this award, i have to do this:

I thank you for your noble gesture Alka. You have been an inspiration. Thanks a lot. This award means a lot to me and i hope to live up to expectations.
As per the rules for accepting this award, i have to do this:
- Thank the person who conferred this award to me
- Share 7 things about me (the most difficult part)
- Pass the award to 15 newly discovered great bloggers ( Alka, can i change this rule? Next person can present this award to any number of bloggers he/she would like to. You must know it better how difficult it is to select only a few. Every blogger deserves this. Do you agree?)
- Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award
I hope i have done justice to the first obligation, of thanking the person. Let me come to the most difficult part of sharing few things about me.
- I am an introvert. It takes a lot of time for me to get along with a new person i meet, particularly girls. It literally took me three months to start a conversation with a girl travelling along with me, every day in my office cab. Please don't laugh.
- On the contrary, I am very jovial person. Peep into my facebook profile, you will come to know.
- I am single. (hehehehe I am finding it difficult to write a few things about me, already)
- I love to drive. Enjoy long drives with friends
- I love playing cricket. It doesn't mean i play only cricket, i do play lot of other sports too. (two more to go...huh)
- I adore my Blog (needless to say though)
- I don't like a lot of things about me (For obvious reasons, i cannot disclose those things)
Oh that was pretty tough. It is time now for me to pass on the prestigious award to the people who deserve and are far more worthy than i am. It is an honor for me to pass this on. And the award goes to:
Thank god, i am done. It is very hard to select fifteen out those fifty plus bloggers i know. Rule number two is changed.
All readers are bloggers' inspiration to come up with something new. I hope it continues. Thanks a lot. Happy reading.
Thank you very much mentioning my blog in the award list. And the things you mentioned about yourself, i think we share the first point.
ReplyDeleteArun, pleasure is all mine. I enjoy reading your reviews and i believe i am lucky to have found your blog.
DeleteWe have to overcome that first point :)

DeleteThanks a lot Echu..yeah very cheerful memories.
DeleteMak, congratulations!! Beautiful starting words and very humble post.
ReplyDeleteHumm...three months to start conversation with a girl sitting in same cab? I did laugh..but don't worry nothing wrong in it...I bet now you must be very talkative with her and that girl must be very delighted to talk to you. :)
I have missed your few previous posts..I will visit soon...Thanks for leaving note.
Usha, thank you so much and welcome here once again. You are one among many deserving bloggers whom i have left out, my apologies.
