Believe it or not! I have been awarded with the beautiful blogger award! Yaayy! It finally feels great to be recognized for what you write rather than estimating one’s blog by the number of visitors dropping down for a peep.
Anyways, I have been awarded by my little friend Magali @ Life etc. Thanks a lot! XOXO!
There are a few rules for the award, some of which I thought were absurd. I will just put up what is necessary.
1. Share 7 things about yourself.
2. Pass on the awards to 6-7 different bloggers who you think are the best.
It's as simple as that. So let me kickoff with my 7 "characteristic features".
1.Born and breed for more than half of my life in the tiniest pearl island - Bahrain. Proud to be part of two unique countries.
2. I dream on opening up my own book store when I get really old. Books on everything you could possibly imagine. I even have ideas on having small reading sessions for kiddies (inspired from 'You've Got Mail'). Reading makes up most of my life and is absolutely necessary for my survival.
3.I used to be a super nerd back in school with real geeky glasses. But I guess I straightened out alright in the end. I used to be the typical teenager with pimples, mouth full of braces, long stubborn hair and yes my dorky glasses.
4. I have to spend at least an hour everyday on my own. Maybe to reflect on varied ideas, think of how or where I will end up in 10 years or just sit there staring into the green and play with my hair with music.
5. Close friends say that I am a lot sweeter than required and that people get an incredible urge to take advantage of this. It’s true to an extend but the fact is I ain’t that meek people!
6. As a kid I have had a blend of transitions of what I would want to become when I grow up. Starting from being an astronaut, archeologist, painter (inspired by my mom), news reader cum reporter, author of a thriller (always been a dream), designer, social worker, a kindergarten teacher, editor and lately the bookstore dream.
7. I am an engineer by profession but it was never my cup of tea. I quit two jobs in a year and I am still in search of what I want.
So this is what I have got. And as per the tradition, I would like to present the awards to:
Anirban @ It's a Miracle!
Anand Nair @ Like a Fish in the Net
Dave Fry @ Dave Fry's Picture of The Day
Magali Vaz @ Life etc
Prerna Malik @ The Mom Writes
Sachith Rajagopal @ Perception
