I have been sick lately. In fact even very sick and still am :( More than that my fever just seems to be so much in love with me that it doesnt want to leave me no matter what i do. And thats the main reason i dont read your blogs, dont comment and even dont reply to your comments on my own blog. I promise to do all this once i finally feel better.
Take care, you all, and dont you dare to fall sick!!! :)
Ok, I finally got some time for passing on the awards I have received recently (mainly due to having fever and not going to the office today :P) So here I go with passing them on to all the excellent bloggers i have come across in the last few months.
The first one I have received from Sameera and would love to pass on to Div, Akki, Hope, Preeti, Ameya.
The next one i received from Sami and Jackie and would love to pass them on to all people on my blogroll as reading your blogs really makes my days (though am reading less and less nowadays due to workload)
"You are totally awesome" award came my way from Jackie and Colin and i would love to pass it on to Sami, Div, Akki, Shashi, Ameya, Hope, Preeti, Zahid, Arti and Meghna.
Originally this award comes from Kim: ‘I have a new award to hand out..They are “toadally awesome” to me… just link back to me as to the original one who started this…Thanks alot…You can hand this out if you wish to at least 15 bloggers that “toadally awesome”…’
So please dont forget to link back to Kim when you pass on the award :)
Next one was again presented by Jackie and Colin and if you find yourself in my blogroll...this one is for you ;)
"Friendly Site Award" is again from Colin and I believe everyone i visit deserves this award, so just grab it and keep this friendly policy in your blogs :)
Again the one from Colin (isnt he sweet?) and i am passing it to Sami, Solitaire, Preeti and Arti :)
"You cheer me up" - award received from Jackie and Colin and goes to Div and Zahid. Not that the others dont cheer me up, but i guess you guys know what i mean ;)
Colin and Jackie have been way tooooooooooooo sweet to me and this one is again from them :)
"Biggest Heart Award" goes toooooooooooooooooooo.....Sami, Div, Akki, Preeti and JJ
And this one passed to me by Colin and is for everyone on my blogroll :)
Well, i am getting tired :( but not far from the end so here is another award from Colin and I want to pass it on to the next bloggers: Anoop, Maverick, Meghna, Shalini, Vandita.
And last but not least is this bear hug from Divvi which i pass on to Akki (I know Div gave it to you too :P), Sami, Shashi, Ameya, Zahid, JJ, Colin, Jackie, Hope and Preeti.
Now i am sorry that only mentioned names without giving out links... but am just not feeling well today.
Love you all, and I am sure everyone of those reading this post deserves awards for doing excellent job working.
And LOL I have received Santa's award again - without even knowing i have been nominated. Thanks to those who nominated and those who voted. I am still wondering who it might be :)
and from Sami:
So hereby with the power vested within me i hand it over to the following people.... (this line i have stolen from somewhere :D )Creative Blogger Award: Akki, Preeti, Meghna, Arti Honrao
Best Friends Award: Div and Akki (love you girls :))
Now I also have been surprised by Nick
who declared me a Blogging Mentor. The whole meaning of this award you can read here from its creator. There you also can find the original images of the award as the one shown above is i guess Nick's creation. Still the main idea is giving appreciation to those bloggers who have made impact on you and guided you on the way to the better blogger. So now i am passing it on to Sami who has made me come back to blogging :) Keep rocking, sweetheart!!

And here finally the tag, actually i only intended to do the tag but then so many things came inbetween ;)
I have been tagged a lot lately. And today will do link tags. I was tagged by Ranjhani and Andrea for 2 different link tags.
Ranjhani asked me to list links of 5 favourite posts and Andrea asked to put a list of 5 links which are related to certain categories.
Here are the rules:
Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written. But there is a catch:
Link 1 must be about family
Link 2 must be about friends
Link 3 must be about yourself
Link 4 must be about something you love
Link 5 can be anything you choose
Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least TWO of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better.
Readers - don’t forget to read the archive posts and leave comments!
So I combined 2 tags and here i go:
And here I promise Ufffff ... that was a tough task, but now i am done!! And here is my turn to tag people which i am doing with great pleasure - Anoop, Div, Sami, Jackie and Shalini. You can pick up one of 2 tags or combine them. If you already have done it, please leave a link in comments, i am curious to read :)

I have been tagged by Sami like ages ago and was warned to be abused and more than that being not talked to if I don’t post it finally today. So here I am doing the simple love/hate tag. I am not much into poetry you know, so wont be able to make it as beautiful as Sami did, so lets see what happens :D
I love:
-Walking in the rain
-Hot tea when it's snowing
-Dreaming
-Girls nights out
-Sitting in a coffee shop reading a favourite book
-Getting mails
-Hearing my favourite song on the radio.
-Lying in bed listening to the rain outside (when I am not walking)
-Chocolate milkshake ... (or cherry ... or strawberry!)
-Finding a 100-rouble note in my coat from last winter (though on the second thought finding a 1000-rouble note would be better)
-Waking up and realizing i still have a few hours left to sleep
-Having someone play with my hair.
-Watching the expression on someone's face as they open a much-desired present from me
-Watching the sunrise (preferably not alone)
-Knowing that somebody misses me
Hope you will enjoy it!! :)
Now don’t forget to scroll down and read the previous post as it is the usual Tuesday Love Ramblings (yes, yes, I have been working hard and posted twice today)
I am still busy with work but couldnt resist blogging :P Though today am not going to write much :) I guess everyone noticed i changed template again but hope this one is a final one as i truly like it. All credits go to me as once couple of days ago i was changing template and accidentally deleted all the widgets :D
After that i thought of finally choosing one template for myself and created one.... this one :) Widgets are still not back but i am on my way to make this page even better. Though sometimes i feel weird. I mean yesterday night i remember the blog having a blue background, today it is white. Not sure if i changed it or it ever has been blue :D
Today am going to do finally one of the tags that are pending. This one is from Anoop and Shalini and also later Meghna and is about 5 favourite links of mine :D
Here are the rules as per both of them:
I thought it would be cool to have a meme where we post links. We can post up to five. Then we tell five more people to share their links. If we all share who tagged us, our links are sure to be seen! )
They can be business links, favorite sites, affiliate links, whatever you want…
There are Five Rules:
1. MUST be clean. No R rated sites.
2. Only FIVE links.
3. MUST tell 5 people.
4. A link back to the person who tagged you ;)
5. Lara's Place is the meme originator. ;) (an active link is appreciated)
Ok, here i go......
1. I wont be very creative and original if i say Google. But then i hope everyone realizes it is not just google but all the services included like gmail, orkut, blogger with all the favourite blogs from my blogroll and many more which i was too lazy to put on my blogroll :D
2. Now will try to be creative and original :P The next one is the site which helped me a lot while working on template. I guess many of you, being active bloggers have come across it, for the rest i hope it will be a great help if they want to customize their blogs, adding some more charm to your favourite places ;) - Now am talking about Tips for New Bloggers.
3. Esnips - Then the site where i just love to browse maily looking for e-books but you can find whatever else you need there. One friend of mine could finв there a song which he couldnt fins anywhere else.
4. Board of Wisdom. Thats one of my truly favourite. I love quotes. And always love to look for new ones. In fact I will tell you a secret. Just promise you wont tell anyone ;) Normally people have at least a slight idea what they are going to blog about. Now I will tell you how this process goes by me...
Being kids we always wanted the time go faster so that we could grow up and start doing things that all the adults do. Having fun when we want, staying up till late, eat all types of sweets and junk food, going out when we want and stay over night at friend's place. Now, when we are grown up, all we want sometimes is to go back in time to those happy moments when we werent stressed over dead lines, break ups, family problems. When we didnt have any responsibilities and the biggest worry was about the neighbour girl having a new doll and you not.
Now we dont want the time to go faster anymore, in fact sometimes we even want it to stop because we dont have enough of it. Work, family responsibilities, studies take all of it. How often we meet up with friends and talk to them other than online? How often you manage to go to a party on a week day? How often it happens that the only thing you want to do in the weekend is to SLEEP?? Because thats what your body needs - complete rest after all the stress of today's life.
And how often you heard from your friends, family members, aquaintances that they dont have time to read the latest books, to watch the latest movies, to have peaceful time with friends because they are BUSY.
But time goes on, it doesnt stop for us, and we miss on a lot of things because of being too busy to realize that it is our life which is passing by. And we are going somehow parallel to it, but not living, worrying about having little time for all the things we should complete. Trying to catch up with a lot of things but failing because there are always more important ones.
There is always this lack of time, and no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to complete everything in due time. Then why not take a break and look around? Find one minute to enjoy the sunrise, take 5 mins to make your friend smile... why not to take some peaceful time to enjoy a cup of coffee with your best friend, to watch a rainbow, to read a novel. Find time for things you love because once you may realize it is necessary it will be already too late.
Take one minute of your day to make your loved ones feel they are special. One can never be too busy to find time to say "I love you" to special people in your life: family, friends.... It hardly takes a minute of your time but the smile on their faces will make you feel it is worthwhile.
Now I want to thank people who took their precious time to pass on the awards to me in the last couple of weeks.
Akki
Ameya
Div
Mads
Preeti
Sami
Here I am passing this award received from Sameera to the bloggers whom I have known for longer than the rest as they were here with me all the time giving their support, understanding, care and love: Akila, Ameya, Div, Preetilata and Shashi.
Sami - dear, you know that you are the one who inspired me to being back to blogging after a long pause, thanks to you my writings improved, and even though i know sometimes you just say it was a great post when it really wasnt, it still makes me believe it was a good one :)
Some relationships can’t be defined because no definition will ever be enough for describing feelings and emotions these relationships bring into our lives. We might call it love or friendship but sometimes they are just so special that we are not able to find words.
Correct words.
Right words.
True words which would be able to justify what we feel.
Here I am trying to find these words for people I love a lot. The ones that mean a world to me, the second biggest one after my family. The ones I am honored to call FRIENDS.
I never accepted the concept of having many friends, just because I believe in only friendship when you can completely rely on a person and trust them, when you know that when things go wrong your friends will be there for you... even before you ask them.
And I was blessed with such people and I am proud to call them friends.
Sometimes in life, you come across someone who changes your life just by being part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop.
Someone who makes you believe that things will be good in the end.
Someone who can understand all your troubles by just looking in your eyes.
Someone who can soothe your fears with a simple hug.
Someone who is there when you're down and the world seems dark and empty.
And no matter how many times you fight with them, and how much bad stuff happened between you. When you need them, they are there. Any time, any place, anywhere.
Just because they are FRIENDS.
And if you need to talk, they’ll listen.
If you feel lost, they’ll guide you.
If you’re feeling afraid, they’ll comfort you.
If you need to lean awhile, they’ll be just a hug away.
If you’re feeling unsure, they’ll be your strength and confidence.
And this strength I get from my friends got its realization in this PROMISE:
