~ unknown blogger
When we[as in most of us:-)] decide to blog, in the beginning it is just for ourselves. A private place where we can let down our hair, write away our frustrations or give free rein to our thoughts. At the most we want our friends and kin to read what we write. As we explore further we realize if we stretched out a hand there is a wonderful world out there ready to receive us with open arms.
This is exactly what happened to me. Initially it was just about scribbling down some thoughts and incidents…. maybe the kids would love to know how mama was when she was younger, how the events in her life shaped her life, this way my family & friends who lived far away could be in touch with what was happening with me without me straining to write to everybody individually....u see the gains:-).
And then there was the fact that I always was interested in People, their lives, their thoughts…it was but natural to slowly start reaching out to other bloggers who had different viewpoints to share inturn opening up my mind and world.
And the rest as they say is history & lets leave it at that[meaning surely you wouldn’t want to waste time reading about it ONCE MORE]. Now, apart from the comments I love receiving I am also ecstatic about the awards I get. Lot of old-timers[Bloggers I mean] nowadays view these awards with jaundiced eyes & don’t quite believe in them anymore but for me they are all special. In real life I don’t think I ever came first or received awards for anything…no, no thts not true, I did come 1st in 1st standard and 2nd in the Lemon & Spoon race in the 3rd standard.
Ok thats it enough introduction, now coming straight to the point I thought I'd spread some cheer at the beginning of the year itself by giving away the lovely awards I received in 2009.
First things first, I want to thank my blogger-friends Athivas, Blunt edges, Colourmesunshine, Dil Se, Elegant Chic, Passionate Goof, Indianhomemaker , Lostworld , Nu, Rashworld, Shalom, Shayari, Swaram, Thethoughtfultrain, Titaxy for all these wonderful awards I have displayed below.
It gives me great pleasure to give away these awards to deserving bloggers as a token of my appreciation. I know I know I must sound like one of those pompous characters but it’s exactly what I feel……I love receiving awards but more importantly I adore giving them away. Initially I intended to write a few sentences about each blogger I was giving the awards to but gave that idea up half-way as this is a long post and it was taking me ages to just link each one of you.
The 1st award is the International Bloggers Community Award!!!!
"Be a proud member of the International Bloggers Community! " is their tagline.The Award goes to:

Hey, that's a lovely lovely post to begin the New Year. Thanks so much for the award.
ReplyDeleteOur only request. Blog a little more often. When you go away for a little while, the blogosphere becomes a little down ; your charm and cheer are hugely important for all of us.
Warm wishes for a wonderful 2010.
WOW! Happy New Year Nancy. You had such a beautiful start to this post, and I can see how patiently and painstakingly you have done this, with all the links in place. You deserve all of them and more!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for my bit, you are a completely sweetheart.
Thanks for the award! I will do the needful soon.
ReplyDeleteMore than the award, what you did here was open up a new world of people for me! I love looking at other people's blogs, but I don't know how to search for them. So thanks for throwing the doors open.
Sadly, the more blogs I read, the more I see that people don't reveal who they are...maybe I am different, maybe I should change too. Let's see.
Nilu

Meira: Ofcourse yae bhi koi poochne ki baat hai;-o

ReplyDeleteYou did it again!!! Beautiful post Nancy. Very personalised and always a treat to read.
ReplyDeletep.s: I couldn't add my comments to your "A Love Marriage" post at the time but I just loved it!!! One of your best. :)
Thank you so much for the award & congrats for getting so many :)
ReplyDeleteLoved your way of spreading cheer (I had read it as cheese ;-) as having pizza) on new year :)
Solilo: "आईये मेहरबां, बैठिये जानेजां...." I'm beginning to get the hang of this;-D
ReplyDeleteIt is my pleasure entirely:-))!!!

[ummm do I sound hip or like one of those old aunties who are trying to act hep]
Agnes: U r incredible really;-D!!!
Ramesh: Awww...thank U so much for the lovely wishes!!! I too want to but I'm a woman with great responsibilities....incharge of 2 tiny dynamos who take all my time;-P. But hoping to be more constant in the blog-world this year:-)!!!
Passionate Goof: Seriously I was at it for almost 2-3 weeks. Blogger was giving me so much trouble that I was actually contemplating switching to WP;-o....but in the end I'm so thankful it went off good;-o.
Nilu: "the more blogs I read, the more I see that people don't reveal who they are..."
People blog for different reasons but most do mainly to vent out their feelings freely. If they blogged under their right name they can never do tht. And not the least one can never be too careful coz blogger unlike FB[where we can choose who u want to include in ur list]is a place where all types of people[read weirdos too] walk in & read u. U never can be sure how it will affect u.
On the postive side, once we get friendly we exchange mail ids & communicate that way:-).
A: LOL I'm so awesomely glad that u r awesomely happy;-D
Lostworld: Glad u liked urs:-)!!! U always write sensitive comments[I'm not talking abt just this comment:-)] and I mean it in the nicest possible way. Thank U!!!!!
Nu: The pleasure is entirely mine & take ur time:-))!!!
Tanushree Pillai: I havent forgotten the thrill of receiving my 1st award;-). And there's no hurry, take ur time:-))!!!
Lan: I did go thru a few nerve-racking moments putting this together;-o. Thank U for the lovely comment:-))!!!
Sriram: Dont mention it;-D!!!
Rashmi: I'm so glad u liked it:-). I'm sorry I was not aware of ur awarding me....have made amends now;-D
Sindhu: Madam u r too lazy on the blog...the idea was to make u sit up & do some joli;-D
Thank U!!!
And I know exactly what u mean:-)!!
Chatterbox: Dont mention it, the pleasure is all mine:-))
An Open Book: First copy and save it in ur hard disk.
Then click on customise.
Click on add gadgets
find the 'picture' link
click & do as instructed
Hope u have no difficulty following this:-)
Mads: My pleasure!!! I know we met only a few posts back....greater things were acheived on less, here's to our blog friendship;-D
Thethoughtfultrain: Dont mention it, the pleasure is entirely mine. Here's to our meeting WHEN[u do notice I didnt say If] it happens;-D
Divya: Thank U dear girl...u did notice I awarded u right, even though u dont have a blog;-D??? Waiting for u to start one!!!
Nancy: Loved your style of starting the new year and spreading so much cheer among your friends. Thank you so much for mentioning me and the award too.Can't tell you how much I am in love with the blog world and all the wonderful friends I have met here.
ReplyDeleteand I have to tell you this: On my recent trip to India, one of my relatives invited us to visit Behrain on our next trip and they were telling all about the other good places in mid East and all I was thinking was "Wow !! May be I can meet Nancy there too :-)"
They say:"If you do one good thing for someone else, it will comeback as a good thing for you too." I wish all the cheer that you sent along so many people comes back to you and you have a wonderful year ahead.

ReplyDeleteThanks dear!!!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that if I comment so rarely, it's mainly because you have already given words to my thoughts, leaving me with nothing much to say except perhaps 'I feel the same way'!!
Thankoooooo :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award Nancy!

The correct thing to do is...
a. Display the award in a post with details of who awarded it to u.
b. Then u award it to other bloggers who u think deserve it[ ie. if there are no specific rules accompanying the award].
c. Display it on the sidebar of ur blog.
But u are lazy like me u can wait till an appropriate time[until more awards pour in] & put them ALL up at 1 go;-D
Hey Nan..
