October indeed is my birth month. No wonder good things are happening more often. The latest is an another award for this blog from S3 aka Sreeram. Thanks a lot for gifting me, my ‘second’ blog award.

Unlike last award, this one is more formal. It has some rules and regulations. !

The rules are:

“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon.List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!” Read the rest of this entry »

Grabbing this tag or meme from out of the Facebook. Guess there is no copyrights involved. More over, from the blog feed, I suppose this will get posted in Facebook Notes too.

*****************************************************************

I have tagged you because I am hoping you will fill this out about yourself. I would love to find out more about you! Copy this, paste in a new note, replace my answers with yours and re-post this as your name followed by “ology.” Tag friends you want to get to know …. and most importantly, tag me.

This tag was playing around everywhere for a while long back, so since nothing else to blog, but since I want to blog, I am picking the tag without being tagged by anyone! I am not sure what five things I can write about which gives insight into my nature or behaviour to others. Hmm, let me try.

1. I hate tomatoes. But I can have them in the form of tomato ketchup or raw ones in salt, or along with burger.

2. I play veena a bit. Music has always been a passion, and veena I did learn for some time as part of it… But I don’t know why, I am not able to sing or play veena when someone asks me to do so. I really do hurt my parents cos of my this behaviour.

3. I get irritated and angry very fast, but I cool down instantly. I am extremely sensitive and emotional and think too much and can ponder over that and this and the results of which you people are reading this blog. So enjoy!!!

4. I used to or was an addict of Hindi serials. Rest of the time I used to sit glued to pc and if you ask what I will do, if net is there, I spend time browsing that n this, if not, I will check all the thorough analysis of all the folders, and if found any softwares, I try them out, or if I get any software, I install them, try it out, uninstall it, and this will go on till the pc gets stuck, which happens very fast usually. Don’t worry I do that especially if its not my PC!

5. I don’t know swimming. There are lot of sports and exercises which I have not played. In my young age, I wished to take participate in lots, but either my health or some reason or other posed as hindrance. Similarly roller skating, table tennis, badminton, squash (Did you know that I used to play with ball alone by hitting onto wall, and using my hand as bat, to imitate the game of squash!) are few games I had in my wish list. I used to play carroms with appa (carrom-specialist!!) and chess with the neighbour boy (to whom I lost all time )… Hmmm. Those were the days…

Long before I was tagged by rakesh. I am not sure whether I have the answers for the following, but still will give a try..
What according to you, is a blog?

A blog is an online journal which represents the thoughts and views of an individual. People can blog about their opinions, movie reviews, their frustrations, imaginations, dreams, fears and wishlists and many more…

How did you come to know abt blogging?

Initially when I was a forum member, lots of other members had their own web pages and their own weblogs(blog). I too was interested in creating a web page of my own using yahoo geocities, then a personal site using the same and then the blog using blogspot. I too had become a member of blogger.com. Also I tried to install forums based on phpbb or invision free. Then while searching for similar softwares, found many wordpress blogs. Then with the help of Sreejith who allowed me to share his server space for my blog, I setup this blog. I never planned or dreamt that I would be writing so many posts. But then I think blogging is very addictive like orkutting!

How far has it changed your perception?

It has given me much confidence to interpret and open up my mind. Also I have understood that many people like me have many views and thoughts and opinions which they write down as blog, which they dont express in person.

Are you true to yourself while blogging?

Of course yes.. I don’t know what do you mean by lying…

Any blog you wish to be the author of and why?

As of now I dont have any. I just wish I have more free time for posting more on my blog.

What it has preached you?

Hmm.. Did not get the real meaning… If you mean what have you learnt by blogging, I would say, many people read your blog, say your friends and anonymous and through blogging many people are knowing you without you knowin about them.

Two of your fav. Blogs? And why?

I dont have much favourites….But I have liked Chandni’s blog and the topics..

One of your fav. Post by a fellow blogger?

I have always wanted to do a self-interview type post in blogs…

Any Blog friends! Who are they and why?

Lots!!! Lot of the forum members and online friends from whom I have been inspired to write this blog..

If provided opportunity would you like to meet a fellow blogger? Who? and why?

Hmm… none…. If you meet these pen pals, I am afraid I wont be able to write anymore bcos of the fear that they know me personally by now..

Name a blogger, who comments regularly in each post of yours?

I dont think anyone posts that much regularly….

A blog, where you comment regularly?

I dont comment on anyone or anything

How does it feel to be called as a blogger?

Nothing special about it!

Phew…. Now I’d like to tag Chandni, Sreejith, Deep and Andy…

Bye.. Have a nice time!!!
