When I received a comments from Usha madam (Kuch Khatta Kuch
Meetha) that I have been nominated for the
Liebster Award, I was overjoyed. But, owing to my professional commitments, I couldn’t
be prompt. So apologies madam L
All said, this is what The Liebster Award is all about:
1.
Thank the person who has nominated you and post a link to their
blog on your blog.
2.
Display the award on your blog — by including it in your post
and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own
computer and then upload it to your blog post.)
3. Answer 11 questions about
yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.
4. Provide 11 random facts
about yourself.
5. Nominate 5 – 11 blogs that
you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner
this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this
information!)
6. Create a new list of
questions for your nominees to answer.
7. List these rules in your
post (You can copy and paste from here.)
8. Once you have written and
published it, you then have to inform nominees that they are nominated for the
Liebster Award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn
about it (They might not have ever heard
of it!)
And I have a teeny-weeny concern. The Liebster Award is a joy, a
recognition and an invitation to friendship. I request you all to accept the
same and write about it. Of course, I know that it is a personal wish at the end
of the day. But, I really wish that you accept the award.
So here it goes…
My
answers:
1. What is favorite
color?
Black any day! But depending on mood and occasions it could be red
or pink as well.
2. How do you see
yourself after twenty years?
Happily married… children… Hopefully a book penned by me… A satisfactory
professional life too
3. What sort of books
you like to read?
Fictions indeed. I like simple and normal stories about people and
their lives compared to murder, suspense, mysteries and thrillers!
4. What do you prefer:
love marriage or an arranged marriage?
A marriage where
there is love and well-approved by our respective parents.
5. Who is your favorite
character in TV?
It’s been a long time since I have watched anything in TV. And I
have never watched cartoons in my life. So, when I looked at the question, the first
TV character that came into my mind was Sundaresan of Krishnadasi serial. It
used to be aired in Sun TV at 7:30PM during 2001.
6. What is your hobby?
BLOGGING!!!
Reading, movies, painting and recently started paper quilling.

participate on stage?
I love that. I enjoy the attention and the high it gives.

In 2011, when my academic obligations came to an end and when I realized
that studying for CA course has taken away all the hobbies I had, I decided to
start blogging.
9. How much do like
Facebook and Twitter?
I have never really used
Twitter. And off late, I have bid adieu

ReplyDeleteI know I should be answering the questions / do the re-nomination in my blog post, but here are my quick answers :-)
1. Haddock happens to be my favourite character in the comic book Tintin and lately Spielberg has done a wonderful job in creating that animated film in which he has given prominence to Haddock.
2. Roots by Alex Haley - it really gives you an in-depth understanding of how Slavery started in the States.
3. Blue
4. Frankly speaking nothing - yes, never had any idea like that - just play play and play.
5. Nothing in particular - as for me, every new place is a place to be discovered and enjoyed.
6. Neither - I don't like any of the aerated stuff.
7. Facebook - but weaning away from that too - takes up a lot of your time reading what others are doing.
