As we come to the last day of this year
2012, I reflect on the community that has meant most to me this year—the blogging
community. I realize that blogging has been more than writing or reading/viewing
other blogs, it has been a journey of discovering wonderful human beings and
making new friends—some of whom have made an indelible impact on my life. You
know who you are.
This is the time for me to pass on the
awards I received from fellow bloggers. I am trying to document all the awards
but frankly since I have not been disciplined, I have skipped some of you.
Forgive me in advance.
This year I received the following awards:
From these wonderful bloggers. Thank you, I
am most grateful.
Forgive me if I have missed you...as I said I am not disciplined :(
True to my nature, I break through rules on how many awards and in what way to pass it on. I want to pass on the awards to all the
bloggers whose words, rhymes and photographs made a difference to me this year.
1. Awesome Blogger award for the nutritious heart-food you served all year long.
2. Awesome Blogger award for photobloggers who brought depth to my heart-sight.

[Attention: Intensedebate commenting software officially sucks. I lost all reader comments this morn and my replies to it. Have extracted some of the comments and replaced it. But my replies are still missing. Please dont use intensedebate if you are using blogger--speaking from experience:) And a very patient 2013 to all and myself!]
Thanks a lot for fitting me in there as well :)
ReplyDeleteFeels nice to see the blog in there... and its a new badge too which I have never received... yeaaah !!!

Glad to see me here :) Thank you so much
ReplyDeleteDearest Bhavs, I am proud to say that I can call you Bhavs in this short span that we met. As they say that there is a reason behind everything that you do. I find the reason behind not having much work to do at work and starting a blog and eventually meeting wonderful people like you. There are many things I learnt from you. I can't say if it is wisdom,if it is knowledge or information. I know the pleasure of giving, but meeting you made me realise the multitude of that happiness. You truly deserve all those awards and can't thank you enough for making me one of those loved people. Whatever you do, may victory be yours and peace be at your door step. With lots of love...oh!! didn't I thank you for the award?? Thank you, Bhavana :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all those awards which are a reflection of the love and goodwill that you enjoy among fellow bloggers. What an amazing way to spread that love by passing it on to so many. I am privileged to have interacted with you both personally and virtually. What can I say -- you inspire me in so many ways. I am indebted to you for that lovely Guest Post that you did for me and for all the interactions we have had. I feel a warm vibe and share a connect with you. Hope it lasts through good times and bad. With love and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all!!! [www.photoblog.ajeetboaz.com]
