The Versatile Blogger Award - to expatliv:-)

So, we just keep the party going - my 1 year old expatliv and I! Just as we had landed after celebrating the Liebster Blog Award, my dear friend in Canada: Alexandra - with her wonderful blog Madh-Mama nominates us for the Versatile Blogger Award! Thank you, Alexandra!

Like the Liebster award, this is an award given from blogger to blogger. When you are nominating a fellow blogger, according to the rules, you need to consider the quality of the writing, the uniqueness of the subjects covered and the level of love displayed in the posts and photographs. Through this award you honor those bloggers who bring something special to your life - whether it is every day or just once in a while.

So, this is an award where I get to congratulate a fellow blogger for his or hers unique quality blog - a blog which has touched me in some way? Yey! I get to give a pat on the back and encouragement to another blogger? Sure! Would love to! And as an extra bonus: maybe even more people will discover their great writings and pictures as well.

The rules for accepting the Versatile Blogger Award are:

- Display the Award Certificate on your blog

- Write a post and link back to the blogger who nominated you

- Nominate 15 other bloggers

- Inform them of their nomination via comment in their blog

- Post 7 interesting things about yourself

-----
So, to you, dear fellow blogger: I simply love your blog! You write with uniqueness and quality. Your pictures has really moved me. Your blog has just given me that little extra. I appreciate you and what you do and therefore I pass on the Versatile Blogger Award to you. Thank you and keep blogging:

And now to the tricky part ... 7 interesting things about me ( this was hard... someone please give me questions instead... ) Ok. Here we go :

1. My blog has most readers from (in this order): India, USA, Norway, France, UK and Australia. 
2. My most popular post has twice as many readers as the next one on the list. Guess someone likes tzatziki... 
3. Together with my best friend, I ran a hospital for insects - when I was a kid
4. My favorite color is green
5. I can say unpleasant things - in an extremely pleasant way.
6. My confirmation dress was strongly inspired by Princess Diana's wedding dress 
7. I love late evenings,  -  never manage to go to bed in time..  

So, thanks again, Alexandra. I feel happy and humble, and I am grateful for your encouragement:-) I hope paying it forward will make the day for someone else too.

Oh, well, back to reality - busy days coming up here in Mumbai.
Stay tuned dear reader, and thanks for following!
