Whoa! Another award after a really long time and this time a Liebster Award. What is a Liebster Award?? It a German word meaning Dearest. And a fellow blogger Ashish who blogs at My Umpteen Thougts has nominated me for this award some days back. And today I found my name in Kiran Ashraf's Within My World  list of nominees too. There you see, being late in posting also has it's advantages; I post it together.

Following are the instructions given:

c. Choose 11 deserving bloggers meeting the criteria
d. Set 11 questions for them.

Without further ado let me begin with what I am supposed to. :D

Two Time in a Row!

Alright...This is the first time I'm getting an award and to be frank I'm too happy as I din get it from 1 person but 2 people and I'm really grateful to them that they liked my work and well thought of me to be worthy of it. It means a lot and the joy I'm experiencing at the moment is much more than I can describe in words!

Thanks a lot Eon and Valli for this award, I do not have words to thank you guys, I was just about to post a Thank You in the morning to Eon when I came to know that even Valli has given me one and I was surprised to react at that moment ! And to be true, these two people are awesome poets...they weave a certain magic and transport you in a different world....not everyone can write beautifully poems and they are the ones who write really well!!!


Now comes 7 things about me and myself: 

1) I'm the most unpredictable girl you'll ever come across and my mood changes just like the wind.

2) I can be very philosophical at times and a complete opposite the other.

3) I'm in love with darkness more than the light and find it to be more enchanting, powerful and positive than light.

4) A real big chatterbox and it need not be said coz those who know me do know this aspect very well.

5) I can be selfish and diplomatic at times and not give a damn to the other person's feelings at times, though  I'm a sensitive person.

6) I never knew I had a flair for writing until after my 11th std when one of my friends accidentally read one of my quotes and a small verse.

7) Last but not the least I'm very lazy and I love to sleep, can sleep anywhere at any given hour even in a lecture if I find it boring, that's one real bad thing about me.


I would like to pass on this award to: ( Names Arranged as they come in Blog List)
