I have come up with my list of blogs that make me think. The funny thing about this list is couple of them don’t know I exist on this planet! I, people, am a serious lurker who takes lurking very seriously! I will let them know, but I am not sure if they will be passing the torch on. I mean, if some one tags me out of the blue, I would think twice too!
And I am doing repeats and back tags. Because my blogging world is quite small.
Boo: Two years ago, Big Boo comes to me and tells me that her sister has a blog. And me goes, Blog?! What in the world is that? So Boo practically introduced blogging to me. Ever since I have been compulsively checking her blogs atleast 2-3 times a day, mainly to update myself on baby Ashu’s antics and also because her style of writing leaves me wanting for more. We go a long way back and she is as wonderful, fun and thoughtful in person as she is in her blogs.
Tharini: The minute I open her blog, a calmness seeps in to me. Be it the banner or the image of the teacups, its all so serene. She puts in so much effort in to each post, with those special banners and images. She takes parenting very seriously and at those times I get in to one of my temper tantrums, I compare self(which I do a lot) with people like Tharini and feel embarrassed. Her family must be really lucky.
Kiran: I am back tagging you. I am a bit of a dope head – explanation follows shortly. I had been reading your mommyblog and also your personal blog at wordpress and was amazed by the way you write, quite contrary to the modest picture you paint about yourself.{Begin explanation for dope head }All along I had been thinking that these two ladies write so similarly. Even after looking your pictures, I still hadn’t figured it out. Finally it hit me only after reading your comment. {End explanation}
Ammani: She is known as the quick tales lady. She has close to 200 QT in her blogs. Each tale is unique and has a different flavor. The reason her tales are so close to heart are because the crux is so common that we all experience it day in and day out. But it takes talent to present it as captivating quick tale. Hats off to you Ammani.
Chennaikaran: He sure makes me laugh. I have laughed so hard that I have blast food out of my nose! He has such a wonderful, light take on life. I wish I could have his sense of humor. You have to read him to believe him.

Thanks UTBT, for such high words of praise. I’m a little embarassed to be on the receiving end of it…but I’ll try to be gracious. 🙂
You have to hear how I feel when I click on the link to your blog in my blogroll. I come with anticipation for a fun time…I love your sense of humour, and the straight and blunt way with which you write. Its sooo… refreshing. So to get this from you, is a compliment of its own kind. Thanks.

And pls. don’t mind that I don’t take up the baton here…have done the tag a couple of months before….and I am just not good with repeat tags.:)
Thanks UTBT, for the nomination. And, I am glad that I make you laugh.
When it rains, it pours! Thanks dear! I am honored! When I got the tag from Art, I knew I had to find only four people as you were first on the list, now I have to find five people! Although right now, I ll give all the five awards to Ashu as shes keeping me awake all through the night coz of jet lag and I have to “think” hard to entertain her and at the same time try not to think of the husband snoring away! 😉
Thank you so much, UTBT. I am very touched by your gesture. So much undeserved praise! Very moved indeed.
