The Liebster Award, yet again :D

I got the Liebster  Award for the second time. Thanks to Baldeep Kaur at Inspiring Evolution for nominating me . As the name of her blog suggests, she did really inspire me. You have to check out her blog.

The rules for this award are:

1.  Provide 11 personal facts .
2. Answer the 11 nominator questions.
3. Nominate 11 bloggers that have inspired you and ask them 11 nominator questions.

11 Random facts about me:

1. I have a big bucket list. There are so many things to learn (swimming, cycling, driving, a new language…….), and so many books to read which I will be starting with pretty soon once I get into a good college.

2. I love chocolates. It can be any form- the normal chocolate, cakes, brownies, mousse, cupcakes, shakes………basically anything fattening.

3. I am kind of scared of eyes. Not the human eye. It’s the animal eye that freaks me out. I mean they just have an eyeball, no sclera.  So you can’t tell where they are looking. Plus, you don’t even know if they’re in a mood to attack or they’re just looking at you with love.

4. I love water. Drinking it, bathing in it, swimming (maybe, haven’t learnt it yet :P) or maybe just watching it. It’s just feels so deep and blue and royal.

5. I love birthdays. Be it’s my own or someone else’s. And the best part about birthdays is planning them.

6.  I eat all vegetable but if there’s one thing I cannot stand is eggplant (brinjal). They are just so slimy and yucky when cooked.

7.  I am going to be 18 in less than four months 😀 (And the countdown begins)

8. I learnt a little French 2 years back. So for once I want to visit Paris and see if my knowledge is any good. Also, I like the  Eiffel Tower. But, not in a gooey-romantic way. I always thought of it as a huge pillar with beautiful lighting but when I was learning French, they taught us that it has restaurants and many other stuff too. So, basically it’s not just a structure wasting space but, instead, it’s being put to good use.

9.  I wrote my first poem in when I was 10. It was in Hindi. Then I wrote a few in English which are way too embarrassing to show.  But after that I took a long break and didn’t write for 3-4 years. I started writing again this year in January.

10. I listen to music. I like music. I love music. I can’t live without music. And I can listen to any kind of music, just the lyrics have to be good.

11. I love football. It is like the best team sport ever. It’s just I don’t get much time to follow it.

 

Now the questions that she asked:

• Why do you blog or write?

When I came here, it was a great stress buster. Seeing that people were going through the same hell (just different devils), it felt like I am not alone. Now, blogging is a way I can show my poetry to the world and have some constructive criticism on them.

•  The biggest challenge you faced in your life and how did you overcome it?

The biggest challenge: staying alive. I am not saying it in a suicidal way but if you’re alive every day’s a challenge, you just have to decide which way you want to take it. It all depends on if you want to let even a little stupid problem destroy you or you want to jump over the obstacles and  move forward.

• If money didn’t matter, what profession would you choose?

I would read all day and later blog about what I read! Or maybe, I would become a scuba diving instructor.

•  Your most regretful moment.

I left that path long ago. Regretting is like wasting your time (not to mention your precious emotions) over something you can’t change. Stop regretting, start accepting.

• What does success mean to you?

I read somewhere: “Success is a moving target. I don’t think we ever achieve “it”, at least in our own minds. But I do know this, if you think you have achieved your greatest success you clearly have decided to stop pushing yourself.” This speaks for itself.

• 3 Things you cannot live without.

1. My cellphone  with earphones 2. Internet connection 3. A water bottle

• What money means to you?

A necessity if in the right amount but can be really hazardous if in excess.

•  What do you know about God? Do you think there is a God? If not, what is logical reason for being an atheist?

I thank him when something good happens and curse him (like really cursing) when things don’t go my way. I don’t believe in religion or idol worshipping. I mean, of course I celebrate festivals with great zeal but in the end it all comes down to a supreme power. So maybe God exists but religion doesn’t.

• If you could go back in time and change one moment in your life, what would it be?

Again I say, I don’t like to regret. It happened with me, it was a part of me. And I cannot change it. So it would be nothing.

• What is your dream holiday destination?

I would not like to settle for anything less than a world tour 😛 but, if I had to choose it would be anywhere near water- seas, oceans, beaches.

• Do you think life is unfair?

Nope. It all depends on your perspective.
