The Versatile Blogger Award

Wow, what have I done to deserve this?  A second award?  My co-bloggers are indeed very kind to me.  I have to thank Nityakalyani for this prize. Thank you so much Nitya.

One condition for accepting the prize is that one has to give 7 reasons why you are justified in accepting this.  I would like to be outright honest here and admit that I am not averse to accepting awards.  That is my primary reason for accepting it.  (Take it before they change their minds).  Anyway, since I also have to satisfy the pre-condition, here goes:

1. My blogs are mostly humorous.
2. I am not averse to some reflection on social, philosophical and spiritual topics.
3. Occasionally when the mood takes me, I enjoy writing a bit of poetry / limericks.
4. I have been adventurous enough to try my hand at fiction.
5. How can I forget to mention my favourite hobby - EATING of course, and consequently writing about food and cooking.  
6. My latest addition to my repertoire is Nature Photography.  Of course, I still have a long way to go in getting anywhere near perfect.
7. I have also opened my account in blogging about my travels in a very simple way.

Whew, that was a tough one.  Trying to say more than 2 things about myself is always a challenge.  Oh, well, I managed 7 today.  Maybe another good reason to allow everyone to believe I am versatile.  

Now coming to doing the honours.  I would like to pass on the award to:

• Mira Murli who never ceases to amaze me with the variety of  skills she exhibits in her blogs.  She has been a source of tremendous inspiration to me and has helped me with designing my blog.

• Surya Prakash, a colourful butterfly, who brings colour into the lives of all her friends and who is extremely creative.  She too, like Mira has helped me with my blog.

• Nityakalyani for being such a dedicated blogger.  The sheer variety of her blogs, her crafts as well as her writings is highly commendable.

• Sudha Kailas for the amazing elegance and grace she brings to the jewellery she makes.

• Usha Srikumar for her eye catching Tanjore paintings as well as for her writings.
