Long Long Time Ago I was crowned

My Crown * 2

I am ashamed, no utterly guilt ridden, of not having acknowledged the jewels I carry with me as a blogger, gifted to me by some fantastically gifted bloggers themselves! Yes it was a long time ago that a traveler and a writer thought kindly enough of me to have sent generous awards my way – Jim and Sulekha crowned me Meme and Stylish Blogger respectively. I was suddenly respected in Blogosphere and people started taking notice of me.

It was time to act a little uppity, talk like I know things and pretend to have the power to judge but that did not happen – what happened instead was life. It took me by the hand and sent me on a whirlwind. I have finally managed to control the reins of this fierce force and am planning to take up all those planned actions now. Please forgive my delay Jim and Sulekha and do accept my heartfelt gratitude for the honor.

Below is the pleasurable responsibility that I should have undertaken long long time ago:

Jim this is for you:

7 Stylish Bloggers of my choosing.

1.     Tammy Bleck – I should ideally award Tammy as Funniest, the most uplifting, the most enjoyable and the most stylish blogger. But alas I am restricted by rules. If you are a blogger and haven’t read her – there is definitely something wrong with you. Common people hop on over to http://singlepast50.com/blog/ and have the most fantastic read over.

2.     Pandora Pokilos – She is as splendid a writer as can be. She in many ways makes me want to be like her. Utterly enjoyable read and a splendid cyber personality. Thanks Pandora for enriching my experience with http://peacefrompieces.blogspot.com

3.     Sonia Rumzi  - the more you read Sonia the more you want to read her. Again an inspirational writer and completely awe inspiring. I especially love her dialogue with Baba Rumcake – its a sheer joy to read her. She is at http://soniarumzi.com/

4.     Jessica Brant you do the most fantastic things with your blog. Bring knowledge to people, vent, give courage, encourage, inspire and keep us going. You are fabulous and although I wanted to do this for the longest time ever – You are a stylish blogger for me – You are fantastic. Dear Readers if you haven’t already been to Jessica’s blog she is at http://findingonesway.com. You will love to share her journey and that’s a promise!

5.     Basabdatta Dasgupta really has panache and the most interesting topics in her blog. I came across her recently and kept wondering why was it so recent? Why wasn’t I reading her all this while? Why doesn’t she write more often? She is a must visit at http://basabs.blogspot.com

6.     Mari Sterling Wilbur at http://mariscamera.blogspot.com will fill your senses with color, style and beauty. She has the capability of making an artist out of a horse and she will prove it to you in her blog. A must must visit and a definite follow.

7.     Sukanya Bora enthralls me. She is a classic writer and can make the simplest of incidents the most intriguing. A dream can become a intricately woven story that will make you ponder all day. For me she is a cherished treasure that I intend to keep in safekeeping. She is at http://sukanyabora.wordpress.com/
