Liebster means sweetheart, dearest, beloved, cute and endearing. Liebster Blog Award is given by blogging community to upcoming new and deserving bloggers (given to bloggers with less than 200 followers as per the rules). It is a motivational award in which the nominee encourages the blogger to continue posting interesting and quality posts.
Well, first I must admit that I took quite a bit of time to understand the xyz of this award which later I found wasn't that complicated. It came as a pleasant surprise to me when Anjan, Thewhitescape, Rajni and Meenakshi nominated me for the award. I would like to thank them right from the core of my heart (the same place where I write from). I am really glad that they felt that my work on this blog is worth a recognition. Meenakshi, Anjan, Rajni and Thewhitescape, I am indebted to you and can't thank you enough for your kind gesture.
I will also take this opportunity to thank the guest writers on my blog. There are 14 of them currently (Ankit Kumar, Anu Sharma, Kislaya Gopal, Manvendra Rana, Pawan Chaudhary, Pradeep Kripal, Ravi Bisht, Shikharati Negi, Sourabh Kumar, Sudha Kripal, Sunil Arya, Sunil Chaudhary, Vanya Singh, Vikas Panwar). I am lucky that such proficient writers are using my blog to showcase their stupendous talent.

1. Nominee must post 11 things about themselves.
2. Answer 11 question from nominator and create 11 questions for people you nominate.

1. I am complicated!

3. I love to learn and try new things (esp. new words, new genres, new ideas) and trek untouched terrains.
4. I get bored very easily; can't handle monotony.
5. My passion - writing and cricket (with Sachin).
6. Only rule of my life is to enjoy the present. Otherwise, rules bore me to hell.
7. I am a Gemini, almost!
8. My goal of life is a secret (but it's not materialistic for sure).
9. I believe in GOD. I think he also believes in me. :)
10. I love to interact with simple and warm people.
11. I am in love with all my friends (I am straight by all measurements!).

1. One thing about your personality that you hate the most? - I get too much excited sometimes.
2. Describe yourself in five words - I am usually, well, MYSELF
3. The last book you read? - Doctors by Erich Segal.
4. If given a chance to go back into your past…Name one thing you would change in your life - I will reconsider going to the blind date!
5. Emotion or logic? - A bit of both.
6. Do you have any pets? - I'll have a dogy in future.
7. If you were given just a day to live what’s the first thing you will do? - Burn my academic books, 100% sure.

Panchali Mam.. seeing you in these pages is an award in itself.. you are a champ..
Rajni.. I have already offered my head to you on your blog.. I guess it will be good enough to obtain forgiveness.. :)
Thank you Meenakshi.. I know you are you are not very fond of Geminis.. :) Anyway, complicated and simplicity here has been quoted in slightly different context that might take another post to explain.. it was meant to joke about the twin faced nature of Geminis. But I possess only face by all counts.. :)
haha.. Thank you Sunil boss..
You may be a beginner to blogging, but your relation with writing is at least as old as I know you for.. It's a pleasure to have this opportunity to nominate you.. Keep blogging..
Hearty congrats, Deepak:)
Hi !! Deepak
I won't say the same old line ie. Luckily I stumbled upon your blog n all...To be true I have read few of your posts...you are an amazing writer.
While skimming through the latest one I found that our sun sign matches ..Gemini..and had a bit of a setback when I found that there are few people around who are not so fond of Geminis...
Anyways good to know more about you...Heartiest congratulations for this award..May there be lots more lined up for you...Enjoy :)
Hey Odyzz.. thank you buddy for sharing your thoughts and showering good wishes.. Good to know that you are a Gemini.. Geminis are really mean.. :) haha.. at least I can say so..
Thank you so much dear.. Can't thank you enough..
You are always welcome :)
MEAN..Aah!! I think they are straight forward and too weak to manipulate things..But mean..hmmm.. how did you analysed that ??
You gotta have courage to call yourself mean.. that means Geminis are courageous also.. :)
Just kidding buddy..
I agree on the courageous part but still not on your side on Geminis being mean..( aah!! might depend on person to person then..ha ha ) I know I am not :) Sorry dear now you are caught.. :) :)* kidding*
