The Blogger Recognition Award

Okay, this came as a complete surprise to me!

It always feels good to get noticed and gather praises for the work that you do, and the best way to get known is by receiving accolades from your fellow-bloggers. Thank you so much Universe Unexplored  for honoring, rather recognizing and acknowledging my blog with such an encouraging award!

To unfurl the journey (which I recently commenced), it hasn’t even been one month since I marked my presence on WordPress and to receive such immense love and response from all the lovely bloggers who visit and read-through my posts is not only comforting but also energizing for a blogger like me. The ‘blogging world’, as I must quote it, has a charm of its own ; it keeps you active and engrossed with so much to discover. I’m glad I seized this opportunity to be a part of this wondrous world with such talented people encircling me -can’t rebuff that WordPress is brimming with talent! I won’t lie,  but in this short span of time, I encountered bloggers who were so welcoming and proficient that sometimes they made me wonder if I can ever earn a chance to stand and get counted as one among them. Well, I wish I do!

Fulfilling my urge of always having my own blog, I unveiled my blog with ample brainstorming and efforts – learning things little by little – on my own (WordPress ain’t that easy to understand huh!?). To exhibit my capabilities, I decided to  give the blog certain categories which I thought might appeal to my audience. Without denying, I received a startling opening, which I hope continues further in my blogging journey. Being an adept blend of an avid reader, writer plus a digital-savvy personage , I will always strive to deliver to the best of my ability ; to keep my readers chirpy and contented.

My advice to all bloggers would be “to believe in their thoughts and musings – because it is from there, that you will gain all your creativity from. Only winning applauses would hinder your growth, its criticism that will nurture you into a better mortal by making you realize which facet to possess and which one to omit. Never let others bring you down, write what you feel – its your blog, you own it! Be amiable and keep blogging – make acquaintances with people you might never get a chance to meet face-to-face in real life, who knows one day life might as well make you confront them? Either ways – be humble, spread love and positivity (the world needs it in abundance!).”

Coming back to the rules of the award, I hereby nominate 15 indisputably beautiful blogs with a one-liner each for their respective brilliant bloggers for ‘The Blogger Recognition Award’:
