Morning Gift

As I punched my username - password combo and opened my inbox this morning, I found someone's generous gift waiting for me. The "Leibster Blog" award has been conferred upon me by the very talented Vaishali Jain who blogs at Cosmuse. She is a talented writer and enjoys writing. Her abilities require no further endorsement as she has already bagged her first blog award within a couple of months of starting her blog. My heartfelt congratulations to her and all others who have been conferred with this award. I also thank her for considering my blog worthy of this award.


Usually the awards' names are self revealing about their purpose, but this one wasn't. So I set out to find what it was for. I discovered that the Liebster Blog Award has indeed been making its way around the blogosphere. Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kindly, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome.

The Liebster Blog Award is given to up-coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

THANK YOU VAISHALI for the honour.

As per the norm, I have also conferred this award on certain talented bloggers, who in my humble opinion equally deserve this award.

But for well founded reasons I'm not listing their names. They have been individually informed of their award.
