As the criteria for all the awards is different, I’m answering some questions and listing 7 facts about myself. You can also read the separate posts for Liebster Award and Most Influential Blogger Award.

1. What do you look forward to most when you first wake up? 

My 20 minutes meditation ritual. It calms and prepares my mind for the rest of the day.

2. Are you a ‘night’ or a ‘day’ person? 

I’m a day person, to be exact, I’m a early morning person. I love to have some alone time!

3. Why did you start blogging?

It was just a random thought, but it seems to have changed my life completely.

4. What was the last thing you Googled? 

Really? I-phone 6….psssstt….

5. Flowers or chocolates? 

Flowers (lilies and tulips)

6. What has been your favourite blog post to write?

7. When was the last time you did a handwritten letter, who was it to?

2 years back for my brother on Rakhi.

8. What cheers you up on a dreary day?

Anything out of the following:

  • Chicken Momos with extra spicy sauce.
  • A new book (preferably thriller!)
  • Roast chicken subway with extra mint mayonnaise and jalapeños.

9. What can we expect to find from your blog in the future? 

Hell loads of Book Reviews and may be a book or two written by me!
