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.
