An award...

First of all, I extend my gratitude to Matangi Mawley for this award. Not only do we go back four years in knowing each other, she was one of the first to encourage me to start blogging. 

And looking at why she chose to bestow this honour upon me, I hope to live up to the reason.

There are some rules, which I will have to follow. 

1. When you receive the prize you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back.
   
2. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design.
   
3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with 'Brillante Weblog'.
   
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize (optional).
   
5. And pass it on!
   

I hereby felicitate the following bloggers;

1. Sameera Ansari- Though I am new to her oasis, I am visibly stunned by her profound writing.
2. Siddharth K Kaul- He was the first to ask me to comment on a blog post. Until then, I was of the assumption commenting meant only checking an article for grammatical consistency. We have engaged ourselves in a number of verbal jousts and expostulations.
3. Manikandan R- Funny bloke, though new to blogging, he will go a long way. Do read his stories when you can. 
4. Ramanathan Palaniappan- Another relatively new blogger, who throws light on various political issues.
5. Arnav Chatterjee- His blog may seem dead ('B'-school aftermath); but having interacted with him for four years, I can say his way of thinking needs more than just appreciation.
6. ..Jagruti..- I need not say much about this blog. And I hope the issues we discuss there reach the nation.
   
   and finally... The lady herself,
   
   
7. Matangi Mawley- If I cannot say her blog is brilliant, then well... Unfortunately, I do not possess the power to redefine words.

To some of you, my nominations may have seemed farcical. And my response- I give a damn...
