Well, well, well. It never rains but it
pours. Here is my poor neglected blog, practically moribund, when out of the
blue it is given two awards in a period of three days.
Two dear blogger friends have separately
presented the awards. I am so touched, honoured and delighted by this gesture
of Resmi (http://flowersncolors.blogspot.com/)and Happy Kitten. http://under-the-tree-of-tranquility.blogspot.com/2012/03/award.html
Who would have thought it!
Both are Liebster awards (which in German means 'favourite') yet they are different

The awards come with some simple rules to
be followed
Award No. I:
Link back to the blogger who
presented the award to you.
Copy and paste the blog award on your blog.
Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 blogs of 200 followers or less
who you feel deserve to be noticed.
Let them know they have been chosen
by leaving a comment on their blog.
Award No. II
Link back to the person who gave you the award.
Pick 5 people deserving of the award and notify them on their blogs.
Post the award on your blog and spread the love.
The rules are the same! The best bit is that I am expected to pass on the
awards to five fellow bloggers.
This now brings me to an elevated status as
I can choose five bloggers whose posts I enjoy, and confer on them the awards.
And what is best – since they are two different awards, it means I can chose
ten bloggers to give the awards to.But even then, never enough to share with all those whose blogposts I enjoy reading.
I would really like to include my mother
Lalitha Ramakrishnan (Maiji, as she is famously known ) and her blog, http://lifeinpondicherry.blogspot.in/
which is incredibly interesting because of her memories and records of things
past, but I desist. And for the same reason, I must pass up my sisters Gowri and Viji's , and cousin Kamini's blogs, who are all three terrific writers. No nepotism!
I am
delighted to name ten blogs which I find interesting.
The Liebster Award I share with:
Dinakar's Mysorean Musings, a kind of diary and has many interesting tales from the recent past
Flower Girl's Madras Ramblings, all about nature
Gauri Gharpure's Short and Sweet, which has short verses illustrated by herself.
Asha's musings & ramblings, about matters that affect her
Song of The Waves, a blog by Abraham Tharakan, with fantastic pictures and stories about Kerala
Indrani's i Share, a blog full of lovely photographs and her travel records
Rajesh's My India , a travel post with great pictures.
satchitananda's From Life's Pages, a blog of posts about the world around her.
Ramakrishnan's Ramblings and Musings, a beautifully illustrated travel blog http://sankriti.blogspot.in/
Sunita's The Urban Gardener full of pictures and tales of her lovely garden
