Thank you for the Award and my Nominees

My post starts with an apology! I did receive mails and comments saying not able to comment or view posts! really sorry. But all is well now.I was moving from blogger to a self-hosted site. After a lot of work I finally managed to move to my new abode! It’s called www.sunshineandzephyr.com ; I couldn’t think or relate to any other name than this. I find it feminine and more me!!

Very special thanks to Alok Vats  without whom this would not have been possible. He never gave up to my questions and helped built the site right from a conceptualisation to what is looks now. A big thank you to Alok, one of the most humble, helpful and down to earth person I have met.

So now, I am brand new and arrived and what better could I start with two awards that landed in my kitty.

1. Thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog. – Just did!!

 

2. Display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a “widget” or a “gadget”. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.) – Done that too.

 

3. Answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.

 

4. Nominate 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)

7. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)

 

 

Questions from Prasadha for me

 

1)   Why did you start this blog?

My grandpa at 97 saying he is proud to have a granddaughter like me is the best memory I treasure.

 

6)   If the sky’s the limit, what would you like to do next?
