Thanks Dear Live-wire Girl
The second Award which I received is from my dear live-wire girl Shweta Dave who is no more a virtual but a very real friend.
Her blog needs no introduction still for the sleepy heads she blogs at 'Sunshine and Zephyr' ..yes, we both are sunshine loving sunny people ..
She is the first person I met for real from this blog-o-world and that too on the very first day of 2015 !
She is warm and if rubbed wrong, can be volatile.And as you can guess (if you know me even a little) that I love this aggressive streak of her.
She is affectionate and concerned (she mailed me a full post rectifying it of my errors !) fun and peppy (there's hardly a thing under the sun which have failed to amuse us ) And for countless other reasons some even unknown to me ,she is really special to me...
And that she is one of the most positive and vivacious person I have met in my life does not hurt the cause:P
I admire her for her strength of character, clarity of vision and her sharp-edge intelligence (I know intelligence is never blunt but am emphasising) which is exactly the way her writing is - gritty and aggressive,sensuous and mushy, nondualistic and divine ...simply complex !
Ummm .... kuch aur bhi likhna tha ..:p
She has bestowed upon me not one but two ! awards 'The Versatile Blogger' and 'The Sisterhood of Blogging'.
One can easily smell her love and generosity towards me :):)
I have also received the same award of a Versatile Blogger from Aditya Sinha ji.
Thanks Shweta, Aditya Sinha ji
He blogs at Facets of Adi. When I visited his place for the first time, I prepared myself for a techno-politico-philosophical blog and in those few seconds which my ailing lappy took to open his blog, I was
thinking about the word 'facets' he has used in his blog title. I wondered if Electromagnetism and thermodynamics law would count as facets !
So you can clearly imagine my BLISS when I found the first post titled 'Aligarh ki kachori ! followed by travel tales, blog challenges,contests and posts relating to his myriad interests.
He has this breezy style of writing which leaves you happy and fresh.
Recently I have come to know about his other blogs also-
'Divine Perplex' and 'Mere panne'
