It's Raining Awards # 1!

Right back to the time a few months ago when this blog was going through a 'receiving-kindness' spree and getting blogger awards from some super nice bloggers, there were three awards I did not talk about. Abinaya, the super sweet blogger over at 'A Blog to Remember' showered three wonderful awards! Thank you Abinaya! :D

The first one is...... The POSITIVE BLOG award! 

Head over here to read why she selected this blog for this award! It's quite flattering, you know ;) I would have shared that here itself had it not been for the risk of sounding self-obsessed! :P 

Anyway, part of accepting this glorious award is answering some interesting questions! Here we go:

#1: Which post that you have written on your blog is your most favorite of all and why?

Hehe. I love a lot of my posts. No, I'm not a narc, I just enjoy writing stuff and so I like them. If I had to choose, I'd choose "Poetic Realization" not because it's a good one, but because it's funny and totally real. :D I'll cheat a bit here and add another post. It's titled "Born to Climb" and is an imaginative story where I'm mountaineering (mixed with rock climbing. Weird, but that's how I am. :P)
 
#2: Which post that I have written on my blog is your favorite and why?

Again, I like your whole blog! :D But if I have to select one post, that would be "Small things in life that I love", because there are a lot of things in that list I love too! And it tells me so much more about you. :)

#3: How would you define love, hope, faith and life in a sentence?

Essentials for a happy and contented life.

#4: What is that one thing that you cannot tolerate in a person?

Unkindness. Whatever, whoever you are, you never hurt anyone else. I loathe people who don't mind hurting others, who feel it's "okay" to do things that would make someone else miserable. Just stick to your own life!

#5: What defines YOU in one word?

Confused. :P

I'm not hugely opinionated. I like most things without reasons, just because they exist and make me feel good. So when those with a either-this-or-that attitude come up and talk about what is good/bad, right/wrong, that's what I get. Confused.

#6: If we were to meet somewhere out of the blue, what would you say to me? How would you identify me, if you had to approach me and confirm that it is AaeKay indeed!?

I know how you look like. :D If I saw you out of the blue, I might get super excited and come up to you, wiggle my eyebrows and say, "Recognize me?" I hope that wouldn't creep you out so much that you'd run away, so we would just stand there at least in the first few minutes exchanging pleasantries and then you'd ask if we could find a place to sit (because such things never occur to me). We'd probably talk about blogging and then move on to personal topics! How is that?

#7: Do you believe that people are allowed to break your heart in a relationship? (I know we trust them not to.)

Well no, they're not. It also depends on what does break your heart.  After all, everyone has their own life, in the end. There should be adequate space and understanding for letting the other do what they believe in. But breaking hearts deliberately? Super no.

#8: What is one thing that you love about yourself? 

Optimism. Sometimes it borders on insanity, but that's okay. I don't know how I would even breathe normally everyday if I don't think positively. Yes, negatives do bring me down, I do get upset with a lot of things pretty soon and then over-think. But with books, music and some friends, I'm back to optimism. It's almost natural and I'm super glad about it. :D

 #9: How productive are you? What do you follow in order to be productive? (This is because I'm trying hard to become productive; not working!)

My productivity hugely depends on the environment. It is not right, but that's what it is. Example, in my undergrad college, I relatively did a lot many things, in a short amount of time and I think I did them okay (if not well!). I loved that college and I was constantly happy in that environment (might not have shown on my face, but I was :P ). Now that I don't enjoy the new college too much and people bring me down, I haven't done much as far as being productive goes.

Though I definitely can work effectively when I'm concentrating enough! If there's important work to be done, switch off the internet and then do it. If you need the internet, log out of Facebook and then work. You won't believe how fast this would make you work! I guess my assignments would never get completed on time if I have Facebook open. Seriously!

#10: How did you come across my blog and what was your first thought about my blog and me?

I came across your blog through Preeti Shenoy's Tea for Two and a Piece of Cake prompts! Of course I liked your blog and your ideas. I saw our answers to the prompts were quite similar and reading your other posts I thought you're someone who has got clear ideas in her head! I mean, I have always loved how you talk about little things that matter, and talk openly without inhibitions. I truly admire that. :D

I'll forward the Positive Blog Award to:

- Aneesha at "Footprints: colorful Impressions". She's my friend and she deserves it. 

- Priyaa at "Happy Moments, well.. mostly". She's a chirpy young, forever smiling friend! 

- Preetika at "Waking Moments". How can anyone so cute not deserve an award? Her writing style would never fail to make you smile. :)

- Srishti at "Life... as it is". Her posts are becoming awesomer day by day. Her optimism shows so clearly! 

- Privy Trifles at "Memoirs of Me". Maybe her posts are all not humorous, but they definitely induce an energy in me. Her thoughts and way of expressing them: incredible!

(Guys, I'll email you the award picture, so you can use it!)

The second award bestowed on this blog is the LIEBSTER AWARD, again from 'A Blog to Remember'! I'm not required to answer questions for this one.

The third award is also a LIEBSTER AWARD (oh my god, so much of love! ^_^) My answers to the questions for this one are:

1. Why did you start blogging?

Don't remember! I started it off as a personal diary of sorts. I didn't know the full extent of blogging, or the potential. I don't think I still do, because I still don't venture into experimental stuff, wanting to keep the blog as close and personal to me as possible, with as little foreign elements. Well, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'm much too fond of this blog! Always have been. :D

 

2. You are getting an all expenses paid trip for two to a place of your choice. Where will it be and with whom?

That hugely depends on whether or not I'm allowed. (Told you, being a girl in my country sucks sometimes). Anyway, considering there are no restrictions, maybe Vienna or Venice with one of my best friends! ^_^

3. Dog or cat? And why?

Neither! I like animals, but only from a distance. 

4. Half a million dollars for slogging six months a year or a week's peace on the beaches of Bahamas? 

A week's peace anytime. Much more precious and healthy than money. ;)

5. What is your deepest fear? 

Not having enough love to satisfy me. I'm someone who literally survives on love. It's much too important to me. Being forgotten, not being loved by family/friends is unthinkable! *shuddering*

6. How did you propose to your guy/girl or how do you plan to do so?

No experience and no plans. :P

7. One 'Ctrl+Z' moment of your life? Something you would undo if you had a choice?  

Maybe get enough clarification in my head about what I want to do in my life, career wise, so that I could have avoided this present college where sometimes I feel like I'm being wasted. Not that I hate all of it, I am glad for a couple of good friends, but the first year was definitely a muddle of emotions and decisions which left me more confused in life than ever!

8. Who is the most marriageable celebrity? 

Theo James ^_^

I don't know about marriageable, but drool-worthy is Theo James! The guy selected for the lead character role, Tobias a.k.a Four in the Divergent movie. Look for yourself! (Preetika is either going to drool right now, or kill me for taking this name :P )   

9. One thing that can take you to ultimate heights of fame?

Being awesome at what you like doing? If I can't be famous for reading, then it would be writing. (Does anyone think it can be true?) But also hard work! Which I don't do :( 

10. Do you follow any sports, team, club or person? Why did this love start?

I'm a boring person, I'm not much into sports or teams or clubs, and I stay away from hyped-about things. Books and authors are an exception, though. I follow J.K. Rowling mainly because I love her story. It's tragic, but I love how it inspired her work, how she feels about it and how I feel tingly and awed each time I hear/read it. Otherwise I do follow fandoms and stuff on Facebook for the books I've loved. 

11. Did you like coming to this blog? And will you come again?
Yes yes, I do! I've been coming since forever and will come till after the end too! I love it! :D   

Thanks so much AaeKay/ Abinaya for these awards. You're generous and awesome! Come back soon from your vacation (which I'm hoping you're enjoying to the fullest) ! ^_^ 

PS- I've got more awards. Will make a "It's Raining Awards" part 2 soon. :)

 

When bloggers say you're loved ;)

This is no philosophical post. I got two blogger awards recently and I'm happily typing away to glory! I'm pretty sure if you peer into the screen too closely, you might just be able to have a glimpse of the zeal I'm currently possessed with! Thank you dear Ruya Preetika (Waking Moments) for awarding me The Liebster Award, and Srishti (My Take) for bestowing my blog with the Creative Blogger Award! (Those attempts at Fiction and poetry did make an impact, yay!).

I'm posting about The Liebster Award for today! Would make a separate post for Creative Blogger award. Liebster is a German word meaning "lovable". :D

Ruya asked 11 interesting questions.

1. Other than writing, what is the one thing/activity in life you can't live without?

Super simple! I-can-not-live-without-reading. If I weren't human and we lived in a world where you survived based on doing one thing that makes you live, I'd survive only through reading. I have always been fascinated with the written word. Always. It's just such an effective cure for everything, too!

2. If there was a complaint box where you could drop in complaints regarding your life, what would you complain about and why?

You know, I've always been a cribber. One incident a couple of years ago made me see how wrong it is to complain, all the freaking time. No, nothing happened. I just stumbled upon a conversation between two people in my extended family, something about how I'll only complain, just like I always do, about everything. That actually hurt, specially because I never thought about what I was doing, and hearing about it from someone I'm close to, that too in a way that absolutely meant how much they disliked it, was kind of shocking. Since then, I'm conscious about what I speak. Before uttering anything that's negative, I check myself and either don't say it, or say something else that's in a positive sense. I'm sort of glad I came to know and I realized how deep the problem was. I still think of something to complain about while making a conversation, but now I'm able to mentally correct myself and not repeat those things. :) It's made me think of all the good and awesome things and people I have in my life and I'm quite happy about it! :D No complaints what-so-ever!

3. Share a quote/movie/song/book that always inspires you.

The book(s) that have had the most impact on me have been the Harry Potter books. They seem to have almost all kinds of lessons in them. I actually think back to those characters and quotes (mostly by Dumbledore), sometimes in a relatable situation and sometimes just randomly! :P Undeniably, I feel inspired by quotes from the books, one of my favorites being, "It is our choices that show us who we really are, far more than our abilities". It's all about what you choose to do, it's what matters and it speaks volumes about your character. I think back to this and try making the right kind of choices.

Also, I'm heavily influenced by JKR's speech, the one she gave at Harvard University. She talked about two things: failure and imagination. The lines that I found best (and those that I've memorized quite well, along with a lot many lines from that speech :P) are: "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all, in which case you fail by default."

4. What's your favorite childhood memory?

Not just one, it's all those times I did something special with my family. Anything, all those times when I felt that unique sense of amazing happiness, the kind where you can literally feel your heart lighten up and you feel giddy. Our family of five did a lot of fun stuff when I was a kid, mostly initiated by dad and I treasure each one of them! ^_^ Also, weird as it may sound, I quite like to remember the time I got lost while coming back with my tiny brother and grandmom from a park a few blocks away from home. Yes, it must have been terrifying for the 4 (or maybe 5) year old me (as I clearly remember crying while walking on the road. Poor me!) but I like to see it as an incident that proves how awesome I was.

I was (still am) quite rebellious and I didn't listen to my grandmom, calling out to her that I'll find my way on my own. Born Don! Of course I panicked when I saw a dead-end instead of the right road (and the only one I was familiar with). Not finding my grandmom anywhere, I tried to think of ways and it's a long story. I just know that while walking (and crying, of course) I finally found some familiarity and ran back home. Geez, I have always been sense-of-direction-challenged!

5. Name a fictional character you would like to switch lives with and why?

Oooh I know! At the cost of sounding too much HP, I'll still say I would swap with Hermione Granger anytime! She's all that I wish I could be. Okay, maybe not, because I just want to be me, but still. You have to admit, she's quite amazing. :D And she's a witch. Hee hee hee!

6. What brightens your mood when you're angry or dejected?

Most of the times it's just reading. It always works awesome when it's a great kind of absorbing book. I feel quite better with good surprises too! Suppose I come home after a horrible day, and find something so cool at home, or in the email, or any kind of good news! Instant mood shifters! Photography is another thing that calms me down pretty well. :)

7. Do you think compromises and adjustments are necessary for relationships to work? Why or why not?

Yes, definitely. I don't suppose there's anyone who can live with a situation where they're the only ones who're making adjustments. It has to be there and it has to be mutual. But I also believe that it should be up to a limit. You cannot expect the other person to do something for you by compromising with their comfort level. You shouldn't even want that, actually. It's mean.

8. Given a chance to relive one day of your life, which one would it be and why?

I'm so bad at answering such questions. I don't think so much about such things, I suppose. :P I'm more of a take-it-by-the-day-just-as-you-get-it kind of a person. No overwhelming wishes or regrets. Still, I might want to live just another ordinary day, back to the time when I still had my grandmom's physical presence at home. It somehow made everyday calmer, peaceful and there was always that air of love around. I miss her and a day like that would be nice, I guess. :)

9. What's your idea of fun?

I give you permission to call me a nutcase or an absolute weirdo, because that's what you will think. I hardly ever get bored. Even if I'm alone, I would get lost in my mind, thinking of just about anything. I like all those things people usually find boring, primarily because I love getting to know more about most things. Partying, shopping, dancing is not my idea of fun. I'd rather read a great book out in the aesthetically beautiful park, or have a nice long chat with a friend I haven't seen in ages, or watch a good movie at home with family (and with popcorn, no doubt about it. I love popcorn!)

10. What's the qualification for being your perfect guy?

Oh. I don't know. The first thing I would look for is an appreciation for the deeper meanings in life, the little things and gestures and nature. Then, he should like me for being me. I would love it if he'd notice the little things and take those into account, it means a lot. Hopefully in love with reading, if not as much as I love it, still must respect my love (and obsession). Finally, the most important criteria: Must love Harry Potter. ;)

11. If you were given a chance to take revenge on someone, who would they be and how would you do it?

Ah. I get upset with a lot of things. If I start thinking about it, it'd eat into my life! I'm anyway on a forgiveness-spree these days. Did anything to annoy me? Don't worry, I forgive you. :D

Morning Sunshine award! :D

I realize my last post was about an award too. What can I do though, if awesome bloggers are showering their awesomeness and kindness on me? :D

This time the award is from a blogger I highly respect, not because he writes great stuff (oh yes he does. The stories can take your breath away!) but also because he happens to be a really kind person. The going-out-of-your-way-to-help-you kind of a kind person. ;)

Thank you so much Usama for this custom award: Morning Sunshine Award!  I appreciate it very much. :) To know why Pages from a Young Diary received this award, click on the link above! 

Now, the reason I'm creating this post immediately after receiving the award (I know, I can get a bit shameless :P) is that I find the questions Usama has asked, so exciting! Without any further delay, here they are!

1. Name one superpower you'd definitely like to have, if you could.
I guess it'd be the ability to fly. Not speed flying, as I'd most probably hit trees or buildings, considering how clumsy I can be, but yes, definitely flying. There's also a reason behind it. I have quite vivid dreams and since a long time, I get these dreams on and off where I'm far above the land, sometimes in a flying chair (and I'm not kidding) and sometimes making huge leaps over the sea. I even like watching people from the upper floors, I guess it's a fixation with being somewhere from where I can spy see everyone. ;) It'd be totally cool to be able to fly! 

2. An amazing clear-water sunset beach with cool breeze & exotic fruit trees OR a beautiful green hillside with a landscape of close cropped gardens & a breathtaking waterfall, choose. 

Oh God, this is so hard. How about both? Okay, I should learn to make hard decisions, it's about time. I'll go with the hillside then, because of two reasons. One, I love hills and mountains anyway (the being on a high plane fixation?) and two, the waterfall! I'd absolutely love that! I want to go some place like that right now! I mean, have you seen real waterfalls from hills? Not that I have seen any (except for one in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh), but still. They're absolutely beautiful. And oh-so-majestic. :D

3. Are you a morning person? If not, would you rather be one?

I used to be a night person, right before I joined this new college I currently attend. Now I just don't have the strength to keep upright till late night. :P However, I don't think I'm still a morning person yet, as I get up pretty close to a dangerously-late-for-college time. Still, I'm happy being a night person. If there's something to be done, I'd rather stay up at night and do it. There is absolutely no guarantee that I'd get up early in the morning. Besides, there's something comforting about the night-time reading (what else do you think I do?). Even though if it gets scary (Harry Potter gets scary by night, trust me) and I do that weird switching-off-the-light-in-a-jiffy-to-avoid-monsters thing, it's still something I like. 

  

4. Do you read books? If yes, which one took you longest to complete?

What-e-question! Yes, I do. I've been reading ever since I could. Usually, I pick up fantasy books (as those are the ones I've been with since childhood) and I finish them pretty quickly. I take time with the other books, those dealing with human issues, family stories or stuff like that. I can't recall any particular book, because I've read a lot of long books, but they've been those I read very quickly. There are some books I didn't continue reading, like 'My Experiments with Truth' by M.K. Gandhi and Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery. I'm reading a book called 'In other rooms, other wonders' by Daniyal Mueenuddin, which is taking a lot of time. Not that it's bad, but probably not the kind of book I usually read. It's a family drama, a rich family based in Pakistan. I'll write a review soon. ^-^

5. You have a time machine, you can't change your past, which year would you like to go to and why?

I'm not particularly fond of the past. Sure, I adore my childhood days (only those related with family, mind you. I hated school) and I also like how Delhi and life in general, was back then, but still. I'd rather go see a bit of the future. You know, just a sneak peak, because I don't want to spoil the surprise either. I would just like to know if I'd successfully be what I actually want to be. That way I wouldn't have to worry much ;) Let's say year 2030. I'd be 38 years old then, quite the time when I should be able to achieve what I wish for. :)

6. If you're given an option of getting one post from your blog published in a magazine or a journal, which one would it be?

Umm, I think it'd be 'Born to Climb', a short fiction completely based on my imagination of how it'd be to mountain-climb. It's not the best-written post (because I think there are better ones) but it's close to me, as it is a near perfect replica of what I want to experience. :)

7. Is your blog a window to the world or a window to your self?

Both. When I began blogging, it was just for me. My blog wasn't even open publicly. I simply came here and wrote stuff I had been thinking about. Gradually it became a virtual diary-of-sorts, long after I realized I cannot really maintain a physical diary (I tried a couple of times. Irregularity was persistent :|). After a while I decided to let others see it, with a lot of expectations and anxiousness. I'm a very private person by nature and value my privacy way beyond anything else, so at first I only showed it to my friends. Facebook helped. I got good reviews (it's always great to know people like what you write and that definitely is an encouragement in itself!) and then I opened up a bit more. I began writing more about personal stuff, which is how it becomes a window to the world too, I guess. I learned a lot with blogging, met amazing people and learned new perspectives, which is something I think is very much important. I learned a lot by writing and that's how it's a window to the different faces and aspects of the world. :)

I wish there were more questions. It's such fun to be thinking about this stuff! :D Once again, a heartfelt thanks to Usama. :) 

More Awards Shawards. ;)

Anddd it's a Liebster award! Privy Trifles at Memoirs of Me generously presented this blog with a Liebster award. 'Liebster' is a German word for 'lovable'. Aww, thanks Privy! :D

There are a few questions asked by Privy that I have to answer. Without much blabbering (don't you think I'm blabbering less these days? :|), here they are!

1. Define yourself in one word.

Confused?

Yeah, that answers right about everything I do. Or if you don't want the 'confused' theory, I'll say 'honest'. Believe it or not, that's a virtue I value. Highly. :)

2. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be?

That is a scary thought, you know. I've been paranoid with the idea of eternity since forever, multiplied a thousand times since I saw the movie 'Tuck Everlasting' (where a certain family drinks from a spring from where magical water gushes out that makes you immortal). Really, being the thoughtful kid that I was, I had cooked up a very scary scenario about what might happen if I stick to a certain age forever. Not even Edward and Bella have been successful in changing that perspective. :P

Okay, I shouldn't go away from the topic. Especially as I have about 15 minutes to write this whole thing. (Admitted. I'm in the computer lab because a lousy metro train took double the time to reach my college station, apart from the horribly loong line at the check out, so that I was undoubtedly late and the class was locked. Yes, we're actually treated like criminals. Anyway, that's life).

O-K-A-Y, the age at which I'd like to be stuck, not forever, but for a certain time maybe. 25? Someone told me people look their best from 25-30 and I'd be old enough to be doing whatever I want, like crazy, mindless mountaineering. ;)

3. If you knew the world was ending in 2012, what would you do differently?

I'd leave college right in between and get out and do all those adventure sports I've been dying to do. Did you see that guy yesterday, Felix Baumgartner, who set a record for the highest freefall? He jumped from 1,27,000 something feet! You know, crazy stuff like that. Or maybe from a lesser height. That guy was right in the stratosphere and it looked incredibly lonely and high from up there. I'd probably chicken out.

4. If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?

Considering what an ancient bloke person I am, I think I'd go way back in the past to the time when the first Olympics were held in Ancient Greece. This has nothing to do with the recent super-thriller I read, based on Olympics (Private Games by James Patterson). Okay, maybe it is, but still. I'm kind of obsessed with things that are hard to find in reality. ;)

5. If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?

Hermione! Totally. One, she's a witch, and a very smart one at that. Two, I admire her for her courage, wit and confidence. And oh! She has muggle parents, just like I have. :P

6. If you got a magic wand and could change only one thing, what would that be?

Isn't everything changing too much already? :| I would do something to stop the unpleasant changes, probably. Okay, being 'rational' and considering current circumstances, I'd change the education system of the world, not just my country. I mean, at least the institutions shouldn't produce machines, right? Help kids get a perspective. And oh, also that every single person in this world starts loving reading. ;)

7. If you could ask your future self one question what would it be?

"Did I do all that I had wanted to do?"

"Did I stand up to those who didn't believe in what I said?"

Oh, that's two questions. :P But I'd want to know if I will be able to stick to my own self and not get bogged down by others, which is something I actually try to do. :)

8. What is your most prized possession? Why?

Not one, but all books I have (fiction and interesting ones, strictly). I believe they're really powerful and not just fantasy stuff that takes you to a different plane. Sure, it does, but it also opens you up to a lot of things you could otherwise never know. 

9. What is the one thing you feel is most mis-understood?

The importance of work/career. People sometimes misunderstand work life as their whole life, which is in no way true. Why should we spend all our life just focusing and fretting over our 'career'? There's a lot more to life than just what you're doing for a living. 

10. One thing you would like to tell Me.

Here it is, right in the picture. :P

All in good humor, people!

I'm supposed to pass this on to a few bloggers too. Get ready, awesome people! (I'm not awarding this to those I've already presented with some award or the other.)

Ta-daa!

1. Anisha at Not Just My Allegories

2. Rinku at Mosaic

3. Sukku at Thoughts on Platter

4. Saloni at Onomatopoeia

There's no compulsion for you guys to make a separate post out of it. If you want to, I'd like you to answer the same questions I answered, asked by Privy Trifles. They're really interesting and I enjoyed thinking them up, half in the free time in the morning, some in a lab class and some at home. ;) Thank you so much! :)

'Award'ing fellow bloggers...

I think out there, they call it 'Random Acts of Kindness', showing love for the bloggers whose blogs you follow and like so much that you feel like giving them some blogger awards! Personal opinion- this blog award thing is so cool! It helps you show your love and appreciation for other bloggers, apart from the usual following and commenting thing. They can proudly display your awards on their blogs and it's a great way to know other bloggers too! :)

I've never mentioned before, but I've received two awards for this blog already (kill me. Now!). The first award ever, was by Rachit (or as he prefers to be called, Leonardo) at Sentimientos. He very kindly gave me this award! 'One Lovely Blog Award'.

Thank you so much Rachit! :)

The next one I received was from Naresh Khoisnam at Blog De Naresh Khoisnam. Sunshine Award! Thanks so much Naresh! :)

And so, you know, I thought I'd start with good deeds and award those blogs I follow and those I really enjoy reading! But how to go about that? Do I have one award for many/all of them? Or should I give them different awards based on what their blog is about and how they blog? The latter seems a better option, as it would be much more meaningful than simply nominating blogs for a single award. So, the idea is, there will be one award for now, and I would nominate those blogs that seem in character with the award. Then, after a while (maybe a week or something), I'll come up with another award for suitable blogs. That way there wouldn't be feelings of guilt within me, that I couldn't link up some blog (just shows how selfish I am. I just care about how guilty I would feel :P). So, if you're a regular reader and if I follow your blog too, you bet you'd get an award, sooner or later. :) This first list is not exhaustive and includes only those blogs that deserve the award considering the kind of award it is. (Makes sense?)

The first award is:

Yes! The Kreative Blogger award! Before I tell you which bloggers I'm giving this award to (and why), let me tell you I'll also create these awards! Meaning, the above picture seems good, no? :) I had clicked a picture of raindrops on an iron railing in Shimla and that picture has been edited with pixlr.com to be turned into this award picture. By the way, pixlr.com is an amazing site for picture editing. I recently got to know about it and I feel it's just brilliant! (Thank you, Kathe for introducing this site to me!). So well, it's not just any copy pasted picture from other blogs! :D

Anyway, enough of blabbering! The bloggers/blogs that receive this award are: *tat-ta-da!*

1. Rachit Gupta (Leonardo!) at Sentimientos : I know I've already given an award to you, but that was from the web and I know apart from being inspiring, you're also very creative! :) You write some of the best poetry I've ever come across (and mind you, it especially feels awesome to me because I'm still incapable of writing any sort of poetry! :P)

2. Usama Sulaiman at Randomized : You can write fiction, reality, your thoughts on different and varied subjects, poems and little somethings (which are not really poems :P), so yes, I feel you're quite creative. And you write really, really well! As in omg-it's-worth-reading kind of well. :) And oh, you're like me when I say 'reject normalcy'! (not that I'm suggesting you're not normal! :P)

3. Abinaya at A Blog to Remember :) : Well, you're into simple-worded-yet-deeply-meaningful poetry, articles on a variety of relevant human psyche related topics, you make cards and stuff and you're also writing a book! Creativity at its best! :)

This is getting hard already, since most of the blogs I follow are book blogs, to which I'm linked through my book blog! :| As for other blogs, they seem to be falling in other categories, for which another kind of award is needed! 

I have more bloggers on my mind who fall into this 'creative' award category, but they also fall into some other, more-relevant category! Gosh, I thought this would be easy! :P

Anyway, congratulations to the three winners! Readers, please do drop by their 'Kreative' blogs and show your love by letting them know how much you like them! <3
