My First Award

I’m not exaggerating when I tell that the food blogosphere has turned my life upside down. Of course, for the better. No doubts about it. It’s almost 5 years since I came to US and I really feel bad about having been oblivious to the concept of blogging and especially food blogging for such a long time. I stumbled upon Indira’s blog (at that time I didn’t know it was a blog, I thought it was a website) while googling and I would say that was the starting point for me.

Even though I’ve been browsing her blog for nearly a year, I did not know that there is a whole another world of food blogs out there, until recently. From there I started visiting a couple of blogs and inspired by so many of you I also started my very own blog and now have been awarded the “Nice Matters” Award. I feel very honored. Thanks A-Kay, it’s very motivating.
Nice Matters Award

As it is customary practice to pass it on to other food bloggers, I’m sending this to the following people, for the following reasons:

1. Indira – Folks, let me tell you one thing, she is not just a passionate cook, and she is such a wonderful soul. She helped me with all my questions regarding blogging. Don’t be surprised if I start a fan club for her very soon. Her blog recently turned 3, so this is my gift for her.

2. Shilpa – Her blog has also been such an inspiration for me and she also encouraged my idea of starting a blog featuring eggless baking recipes.

3. Sunita – I wish I was her neighbor. I think she is an “Ace of Pastries.”

4. Jai & Bee – I know that A-kay passed it on to you earlier, but I also want to, because you gave me the tip of listing my blog in Taste of India and I also like the philosophy behind their blog.

5. Meeta – Actually I visited her blog for the first time yesterday and read her About Me page. That was enough for me to become her fan. She is such a straight forward and honest person. I personally feel that those who are good at heart only can cook well and the vice versa also. I’m aware that A-kay has also passed the award to her, but I have my reasons.

6. Vaishali – I love what’s she doing for the animals and her vegan cooking too.

7. Roma - She is also a novice baker just like me. So I want to pass this award to encourage her, like A-kay did it for me.

After browsing so many blogs all these days, I feel that all the food bloggers are caring, loving, motivating, inspiring and more. How come the world has become so bad, when there are so many good people around? I wish the whole world could become a very very very big food blogosphere!

PS: Nice Matters Award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world.
