I was truly delighted and honoured when I was nominated for the “One Lovely Blog Award”, not just once, but twice!! A huge thanks to both the bloggers, Vivian Vedder, who has an amazing travel blog at Where God Takes Me , and J. E. Lattimer, who experiments with art and words at Arcane Arrangements and Fictional Machines respectively. Thank you so much.
Here are the rules for One Lovely Blog Award:
- Thank the blogger that nominated you and provide a link.
- List seven things about yourself.

Seven things about me:
1. I am a very staunch vegetarian, and have tried persuading people to give up meat all my life.
2. I have learnt classical music (Carnatic) for 13 years, and have also given stage performances.
3.I have been video-graphing animals for the last seven years, while on trips into the wild with my dad.
4. It is my dream to learn to play the guitar well enough so as to be able to play the piece in Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” flawlessly!! I’ve a loooong way to go though…
5. Sports and I are a perfect example of chalk and cheese!!
6. I have always wanted to have a dog- a golden retriever named Buddy.
7. I am terrified of elephants!! (But i love them when they don’t charge)

Congratulations on your much deserved award and thank you for the kind nomination! I am now going to look at the other blogs nominated while sipping my tea 🙂

I am thrilled and honored by your nomination. Thank you so much and congratulations to you . Well deserved!
Thank you!! 🙂 If anything, your art work definitely deserves much more than this!!
Congratulations to a deserving writer and photographer on your award. Thank you for your nomination. I look forward to checking out other bloggers.
Thank you!! 🙂
Good job on being a vegetarian– I’ve been a vegan for many years now! 🙂
Oh!! That’s just awesome!! I tried my best to turn into a vegan, but I just cannot give up ice creams and cheese and yougart!! 😦 I truly admire you…
Thanks, it was tough at first [I was vegetarian for about six months, then started cutting out cheese, etc.] but I am to the point now where I don’t miss it anymore… A combination of things led me to the lifestyle– The health benefits, the factory farms over here, the hormones and other crazy stuff added, the impact the meat industry has on the environment, the often cruel treatment / slaughter of the animals, etc., etc.
But anyway– Have a great week over there & the work on the blog has been great! 🙂
Thank you so much!! And I have to give vegan-ism another shot!! 🙂
Thanks so much on the nomination and congratulations with yours! I have been really bad in the past month on checking up on my fellow bloggers, but I will catch up soon – there is so much greatness out here! Thanks again,
Yulis
Your lovely travel blog deserves much more!! All the best!! 🙂
Congratulations! It’s always fun to read the seven things about people. Yours are most interesting.
Thank you so much Sumithra. And yes, I totally love receiving awards. I mean, who doesn’t? But I have already accepted the One Lovely Blog Award and I have made a policy of accepting any award only once. Here is my post for this award:

Lovely to find out more about you, Sumithra (I, too, am vegetarian – always have been, which is rare in my corner of the world). Thank you, also, for the very kind nomination 😉
Glad to meet another enthusiastic vegetarian!! You don’t really get to meet many these days!! 😦
Thanks for the nomination! Mastering that “Beat It” guitar solo must have taken some time!
Haven’t mastered it yet!! Long way to go!! 🙂
Congratulations, you deserve it! 🙂
