Blogosphere certainly seems to me like a whole new universe; with
its limitless number of acronyms, tools, widgets, challenges and awards. I have
wondered, who hands out these awards to these bloggers, whether there is an
organization that is keenly looking at the countless blogs and their countless
posts.
It sort of was an answer when my friend SheethalSusan nominated me for the Liebster Award, wondering what the whole thing was,
I decided to do a bit of research myself. The most I learned was that it was
kind of a chain letter, a blogger to blogger award, you had to nominate 5
bloggers with less than 200 readers, "liebster" is dearest in German,
and that no one knew the origins. With the passing of time, rules have changed
and now it is given to 11 bloggers who have a limited number of followers, less
than 200 to be exact.
Accepting this award requires me to pass it on to 11 other
bloggers, ask them 11 questions, answer the 11 questions posed to me, as well
as state 11 random facts about myself. Phew! I know it does sound tedious, but
then awards are to be earned, so here goes my list of nominations:
The 11
Questions posed to me, and their Answers :
What was your childhood ambition?
I had always wanted to be a teacher, and guess what, I am well on my way to be a professor :D
Did you ever wish to have a different name? If, then what's that?
Actually
No. I do love my name, but I love my brother’s name more – Bhaswath!
If you
were the most powerful person in the world, what could you do?
I would
feed all the children, clothe the poor, take away the rich man’s money and give
it to the poor, somehow bring balance into this chaotic world

your favorite author?
I do not
have favourites – not in colours, books, music, authors, films.

Sea, and
definitely night.
If you
could trade place with anyone for a day, who could it be?
Would it
be too ambitious if I say God? Just want to know how he manages things.
What's

My most
precious childhood memories have been at the various beaches me and my parents
used to visit frequently. I used to love the sand tingling between my toes,
each wave coming behind the other as if to kiss my feet.

could ask three wishes, what would they be?

me a successful writer who can churn out bestsellers after bestsellers :P

Okay, so
here are the 11 questions I would want my nominees to answer:

the weirdest nickname that was ever given to you?
