Third Brilliante Weblog Award

I award my third Brilliante Weblog Award to Brian Arnold: A Photographer’s Journal- an excellent, excellent photoblog for its view of  poetics (and thus, life).

The Second Brilliante Weblog Award

My second awardee for the Brilliante Weblog Award is

Taposh Chakravorty’s India Chronicles for his simple and topical ‘Tota-Myna’ cartoons and soulful poetry… sample yourself…

An Award!

I now understand why awardees (of any award) go on about it being a responsibility! Well, dear friends, my blog has just received an award and my response was to first write a new post after being dormant for long and then receive this award.

Fellow blogger Bhupender who has been visiting my blog and encouraging me with his comments has awarded my blog the  Brilliante Weblog Award. You can imagine my happiness…  I,  now resolve to post more frequently and regularly.

Now, the rules for the award are:
1) Accept the award by posting it on your blog along with the name of the person that has granted the award and a link to his/her blog.

2) Pass the award to another five blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment, remembering to contact each of them to let them know they have been selected for this award.

I think this is a great award because its given out by a fellow blogger to a blog who she/he thinks is good- kind of peer review. the idea is to also encourage bloggers to engage more with each other as well as with content on each other’s blogs. I must confess that I am not a very active member of the blogging community and haven’t really been engaging with bloggers while I read the content on their blogs.  My awardees wouldn’t know me so I decided to give away my quota of five awards- one every week, starting now.

My first awardee is Amardeep Singh’s blog which I visit pretty regularly for his take on literature and much of the other stuff that houses meaningful lives.

khushamadeed!

One of the hopes for this new year was to get myself a blog. Which i’ve done… as you can see. The wish is a result of my ever-increasing love for and belief in the power of the written word. This blog will be the space where i hope to share with the world, words that move me and words that i am moved enough to write.
