Another set of awards, one after the other, falls like cascading water spurting in my life as I sit basking in the glory of being recognized as a decent writer. After Soumya, Tazein, Meera it’s now A Mittal who has given me a set of awards. Wow! I am blushing as a kid but my budday is morrow:) Give a big shout to the wonderful, lovable and beautiful A Mittal and check her blog http://ethicalhedonism.wordpress.com. A Mittal blog is like mint choco and once you swallow a bite of choco, you get addicted to the point that you cannot live without ethical hedonism.
It’s been a week of awards and the more, the merrier. These awards are making my otherwise boring life extremely beautiful and it can only motivate me to write better and come up with more creative work. A Mittal’s award and the rules are awesomely interesting. I do apologize for the time taken in responding to the blogging awards. It’s a wonderful feeling and am chuffed as I lounge lazily on the couch accepting and blogging bout the award. Life izz beautiful::)
SUPER SWEET BLOG AWARD:
I am really convinced that I am sweet coz it’s the second Super Sweet Blog Award in a row and I accept the award again coz it’s like accepting two filmfare awards in a row. Thanks A Mittal, you are SUPER SWEET, Koi Shaque! I do have a sweet tooth coz I can’t do without chocolates, pastries and my gulab jamun.
SWEET SWEET QUESTION:
The term is coined by A Mittal and I am only borrowing the terminology from the beautiful lady.
1. Cookies or cakes?
I love eating cakes that take precedence over anything else in the morning for breakfast coz it’s sweet and lighter to eat. I am a cake person and generally eat it with tea and coffee. My life is a cake.
2. Chocolates or Vanilla?
Definitely Chocolates. I am a huge fan of mint chocolate which I crave for coz it’s the perfect description of life: Mint Choco.
3. Favorite Sweet treat?
Gulab Jamun win hands down. I always crave for Gulab Jamun and in a day where my sweet tooth manifest itself shamelessly, I can pop up to three to four, accompanied with the sweet syrup.
4. When do you crave sweet things most?
Anytime of the day and like they say, Koi Bhi Bhana Chalega (Any excuse is good excuse). During moments of joy to celebrate and when the mood is, albeit, hitting a depression in my attempt to lighten up.
4. Sweet nickname
In college, a pal gave me the nickname Bachchan since I was this huge, crazy fan of AB and till date, college mates don’t call me Vishal but, rather, Bachchan.
VERY INSPIRING BLOGGER AWARD
Now, I am blushing like a child and wonder whether one day there will be something called, BLUSH MOMENT BLOG AWARD. Kidding, I am super elated to receive this one coz I don’t have this award and it can only add to my collection of awards on the blog. I am humbled coz I don’t think that I have reached the stage where I deserve a VERY INSPIRING BLOGGER AWARD. There are several bloggers that serve as an inspiration, but me??? like really? I accept the award in all humility and thanks for making my day.
BEST MOMENT AWARD
In life,we tend to forget that we must enjoy every single moment of life since one can never know what will happen tomorrow. I believe in this beautiful principle that covers, L I F E. Sometimes, I do forget to enjoy the wonderful moments of life and hope this AWARD will gently remind me to do so:)
AWESOME BLOG CONTENT AWARD
