MY VERY OWN AWARD

I got the idea from Shyam's post. I am pretty sure the purpose of her post was to discourage more awards, and I am doing just the opposite.
But this is how MY AWARD works.
You are supposed to pick a blog that really impressed you, but it can't be someone you know. Not even virtually. It has to be a blog you stumbled upon or walked into through links. It can't be a blogger you have built an online relationship with.
I will do this every month.
I am tagging Shyam **wicked**, Teesu, Blogeswari and the winner of the award to do the same. And anyone else interested in doing this.
The May Award goes to HER.
'Cos she is funny and sarcy, and a lot of her posts I can identify with. And she is a fellow Chennaivasi (I didn't say you can't be jingoistic).
I stumbled upon her blog through the comments section of a blogger friend.

I'm honoured and...

... speechless. an award. i don't usually get these.
But SHE was kind enough to give me one. Not only am I kicked about getting this, am also kicked it came from someone whose work I have immense respect for. So really kind words there Shyam.

The Purpose of the Award
This award is for blogs whose content and/or design are brilliant as well as creative.The purpose of the prize is to promote as many blogs as possible in the blogosphere.
I am supposed to nominate 6-7 other blogs for this award.
I don't think I can give it back to the person who gave it to me in the first place. Otherwise, she would have definitely got it... not in 'you scratch my back, i scratch yours' kind of way, but genuinely.
The others I like (and none except 1 is well known to me) are:
Ammani : Amazing story teller. Mistress of Quick Tales.
Mumbaigirl : She picks on some seriously interesting subjects. Enjoy the way she presents it. And through her blog stumbled upon the next...
Broom : Read it and you'll be hooked. Start from the beginning.
Blogeswari : Not only because she is a friend, but also because it's a real different blog. She is so passionate about ads and movies, her blogs are great fun to read. Only problem is: She updates once in a very blue moon!
I am going to end my list here... there are a few more I really like. But they have to update more often, and there are some I need more time to read and decide. So maybe, I will continue this later...
