The Real Neat Blog Award

My thanks to Amreen for nominating Pages from Serendipity to the Real Neat Blog Award. As the name suggests, I assume this award appreciates the neat design and layout of a blog. I am glad that this blog appears neat to Amreen 🙂

Here are my answers to Amreen’s questions:

What do you blog about?

From sun signs to spirituality, I’ve blogged on trivial to serious stuff. My subjects simply don’t confine to a theme. As a         matter of fact, that’s what my bio page talks about 😆

What inspired you to blog?

Boredom, frustration and joblessness. No, I am not joking!

Your Favorite Book/Quote/Poem

This shall also pass.

If you had a chance to keep an another name, what would it be?

Serendipity

Your Favorite Author

Paramahansa Yogananda

What’s your favorite sport?

I am too far from that area. Yet, for the fun of answering this question, I would say, I like Basket ball because while I watch a game on TV, it’s easy to follow where the ball is 😆

Your tips on blogging

Don’t follow tips. It’s not about writing an exam. It’s your space. Do what appeals to you.

Personally, I am not sure how, as a blogger, I must perceive such virtual awards. I don’t weigh them down. An award (The Liebster Award) that one of the fellow bloggers had nominated me for, last year, was supposed to be bestowed to a new blogger. Ironically, a two week-old blogger had nominated my blog which was four years old then 🙄 Despite such funny facts, I respect the mutual appreciations that bloggers share.

I find Roohi Bhatnagar’s blog, Soulful, neat. The colourful roses theme perfectly compliments the white written space and the matching page widgets. The font and the font size make a comfortable read to the eyes. There’s a simple right widget that provides social media connection options, post archives, a tag cloud and one neat ad space. Of course, I admire the subject of her writings; indeed soulful! My appreciations and best wishes to her blogging life!

Dear Roohi,

If you accept the award, please make a note of the rules of the Real Neat Blog Award:

• Put the award logo on your blog.
• Answer 7 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
• Thank the people who nominated you, linking to their blogs.
• Nominate any number of bloggers you like, linking to their blogs.
• Let them know you nominated them (by commenting on their blog etc).

Here comes 7 questions to you:

1. What do you think you would have missed if you weren’t a blogger?

2. Do you think connecting or not connecting with other bloggers would a make a difference to your blogging life? How?

3. Which is your most memorable blog post in your blog?

4. Is there a post by another blogger that touched you deep in some way?

5. What are your personal thoughts about blogger awards like this one?

6. Will a blogger award carry additional value if it came from an authentic blogging platform like Indiblogger?

7. What will you write here if I tell you, ‘just pen what you feel like’?
