Nothing works as well as flattery.
I fall for it, flatly, each time.
Some weeks ago I had this lovely comment on my latest (then) blog.
Aparna K.S. said...
"I enjoy your pics and words alike. Thought I will express it this
way..."
Pleased with this remark, I took a peek at the link and was delighted
to see that Aparna had seen fit to pass
on to me an award, which had been passed on to her from a blogger, in turn to be
shared with ten other bloggers.
The award is the Liebster award, and
I quote from her post.
“The Liebster Blog Award: Liebster is German and means sweetest,
kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, and
lovely. Started in Germany
with less than 200 followers.(Though the original rules have changed a
bit, the purpose is same - highlight
fellow bloggers' works and appreciate each other's works)
Here's a brief on how this award works:
* Link back to the persons blog
that have nominated you
* Nominate 10 bloggers whom you
feel are deserving of more subscribers & pass the award on to them.
* Answer all questions posted
by the nominator
* Create 10 questions for the
nominees
* Contact the nominees and let
them know that they have been nominated for the Liebster”
First things first. My nominator
Thank you, Aparna.
And now my turn to nominate - I am nominating the following bloggers to pass the award on to. No, there are no
ribbons or medals
or pretty tokens, sorry, just the award.
Next come the questions I have to answer. My answers in italics.
1. If God gave you
another chance to live your life all over again, which one thing would you like
to
change?
Occasions when I
have been unintentionally rude to people.
2 One act of
kindness that you encountered.
When a co-blogger
chose me for an award and kick started me into blogging again.
3One moment that
you felt indebted to your creator…
Always, for what
He has given me.
4 Is variety confusing?
Only enough to
make it interesting.
5. One ingredient
that makes a good listener…
Silence
(non-interruption) when the other person is talking
6 Which one of
these two you do faster: thanking people or apologising?
Equally quick.
7,. Ageing
gracefully’ – What does this mean to you?
Accepting not just
myself as I am, but others as they are, without trying to change them
8. If you are
allowed to make one change to the ways of the world, what would you like to change?
Eradication of
illness of any kind.
. 9. What
constitutes a balanced life?
. Happiness through
good health and sufficient wealth.
10. Has the
internet globalised the world or polarised it?
Definitely made it
a smaller place.
My ten questions have been reduced to five for lack of imagination on
my part. Pardon me if you find the
questions dull.
.
1. What would you do to improve the condition of women in India?
2. An opportunity
you regret missing?
3. If you were
asked to choose one book as your companion for life?
4. If you were asked to control prices of foodstuff where would you begin?
5. If you were
asked to set 10 questions, what would you feel like doing first? (I screamed in anguish)
Now this is the reason I wanted to write for my blog again. A
recognition , a small pat on the back, and I have
already posted one.
Let me see if I am able to maintain the pace.
Thanks
