a GIFT


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a wonderful surprise!Two prolific bloggers have nominated me for this inspiring Leibster Blog Award. The Award takes its name from the German word, 'leibster' meaning ' Dearest or Adorable..’, According to legends that came to us from antiquity, the Liebster is meant for blogs that motivate, inspire, and have 200 followers or less. It is also a way to show love, encouragement, and appreciation to fellow bloggers, as well as to introduce them to new readers. 

 I’m absolutely flattered to receive this award. Thank you NAGINI and  ANUPAM for the honor...:D Both of you have pumped in fresh lease of life into my autumn soul. I am humbled. 

 Nagini and Anupam are both prolific writers. I make it a point to visit their blogs regularly. I love reading them (admittedly my favorites),their personal ramblings, opinions are always enriching. Please visit their blogs, if you have not been there before.... 

 So, after you finish reading this post, don’t forget to click over to their blogs! You’ll be glad you did!:))

 Thank you, Nagini and Anupam.
Sorry about the delay in responding, Nagini. Have been a bit busy. Pardon me please. 

 RULES

If you are tagged/nominated, you have to post 11 facts abut yourself.
Then you answer the 11 questions the tagger has given you & make 11 questions for the people you are going to tag.
Tag 11 more Bloggers.
Tell the people you tagged that you did.
No tagging back.

 About me:
1. A cordon bleu cook...that's what my friends say :P
2. Enjoy listening to Indian Classical Music
3. An avid reader...
4. A Satyajit Ray Fan...
5. Enjoy blogging, networking, socializing...
6. Fond of gardening.. I have many varieties of phylodendrons, ferns and palms. I am trying to stabilize some of my bonsai plants.
7. I want to be a grandma and write blogs like Zephyr :)
8. An animal lover! Have dogs, cockatiels and a tank of fish in my house! Love them♥
9. A coffee addict..
10. Saris are what I go crazy over. Handcrafted, hand woven, cotton, tussar and silk are my weakness. I love swathing myself in the six-yards pizzazz..:))

Now, comes the toughest part--- conferring the awards on the bloggers !! Most of the people I have chosen have stuck with me during IBL, plus their blogs rocks! In no particular order...here's the list of the bloggers who get a 'leibster' each from me... all girls..?!! Oooops..! Sorry menfolks...:((

1. http://emotestar.blogspot.in/ (Jasmeet kukreja is a popular poet, but she has less than 200 followers, hence she gets one from me!)

10. http://ranjana-craft-blog.blogspot.in/ (Ranjana--- You are also a very popular blogger, but have less than 200 followers. So please accept the gift!)
11. http://versesfrommyheart.blogspot.in/2012/07/tag-time.html (Kirti Nemani)
