Gentle Whispers

I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like to lately. There have been ideas, mental jottings, but by the time I sit down in front of the computer, I go entirely blank and I'm struggling for words. Not for this however, Titaxy very generously conferred on me the Humane award almost two weeks ago. I know several people who'd doubt the relevance of this award being given to me, starting with my brother, but I am going to ignore him and to attempt to accept this one gracefully and graciously. Even though I'm not entirely sure that it's not a hint that I'm not humane enough. Also, the wonderful girl just got married and after reading about it, I have now decided that I want a wedding exactly like hers. With warmth, affection, love and laughter. Congratulations again! Anyhoo, back to the original purpose of this post, my Humane award, Now please excuse me while I swig champagne by the bucket load and shout it to the world, all the while, figuring whom I should ...

I've been supremely busy of late, with absolutely no energy to do anything other than what has been absolutely required of me, or I have not been forced into doing with a gun held to my head. To know why, refer to this post below this one. And I've been feeling very badly about the fact that I was given not one, but two awards by Homecooked , which I was feeling too lazy to acknowledge and pass on to the rest of you. But I'm feeling nice now, and in a mood, where I can barely keep my eyes open and do some actual work that I get paid for. So I'm going to just accept the awards while my boss thinks I'm being oh so diligent and doing major work, while I'm actually blogging. (*Raise your hand if you've done this before*). The tag I'll deal with later when I'm at home and Youtube isn't blocked. So anyway, the first one is the very lovely Friends one. And now out of the kindness of my heart I'm going to pass it on to a) Moo - Because she IS a frien...

“These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this text into the body of their award.” What better way to start off the New Year on my blog with than an award. And it comes courtesy of Homecooked ,one of my favourite bloggers who in her special wonderful way passed on this award to me. Thank you so much. And I pass this on to 1) Moo 2) The Mad Momma (who I realise has probably recieved this award tons of times, but my list would be incomplete without her.) 3) Perakath 4) Mynie Moe 5) Neha 6) Xorkes 7) Disha 8) Milli

Tashi Delay And in case your wondering what the hell that means, it's Tibetan for "I honour and respect the place in you in which resides courage and wisdom ." And I for one, love this greeting. So much better than just ' Hi '. May has been a month of traveling and I don't know where to begin. But everything has to start somewhere. And I'll start with my Wilson College Nature Club trek to the North-East. I filled in pages and pages in my notebook on this trek and I'm going to do my best to put some of it down here. As much as I can before laziness overcomes me. But before all of that, there is something I have to mention here. Something that has touched me so so much and is one of the best awards, (also my very first award!!!!)I could have ever received. It's nice to be important But its more important to be nice And it comes from HomeCooked . And I just cant find the words to thank her enough for this award. “This award will be awarded to those th...
