THE LEIBSTER AWARD !!

My love for words and the magic they weave, started at five.I owe it to my father for inculcating in me the habit of reading.I wasn't tech savvy but I discovered indiblogger four years ago.But being a medico,  i hardly had time left after exhausting working days.with my tiny mobile,it was all the more difficult.so, I put my idea of starting a blog to rest.But I didn't stop penning down my thoughts on paper.I'm fortunate to have a few likeminded people with whom I shared my joy.after preparing exhaustively for my post graduate medical entrance, I got to relish the much needed break since a month.I finally had time to pay attention to my blog which had a few posts up.I'm glad to accept the fact that my blog's look right now is inspired by my fellow bloggers.observing all of those lovely blogs, I know now what a layout is, what a widget is.All of you inspired me and helped me better my blog.discovering blogging platforms and writing prompts made my day, they brought me the visibility and the words of appreciation I craved for.

When we start blogging, we find a set of people with whom we connect a little more than the others, the wavelengths are almost  synchronized, we would love to appreciate their work.in this short span i'm fortunate enough to find a few of them.Yesterday I was in for a pleasant surprise,my good friend Vinodini Iyer nominated me for the  Leibster award.My first award, yeah I'm on top of the world.thanks vinodini for believing in me. being nominated by you feels just so right.to be appreciated for my work from a fellow blogger inspires me to write, and keep going, when I know I'll be back to work very soon.

The word 'liebster' is of German origins and it has several definitions: dearest, sweetest, kindest, nicest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, welcome, sweetheart and boyfriend, being among them.
