TAG along to the AWARDS ceremony! :D

Like I promised you MysticMargarita that I would do the tag afta I do Cubby's 14month update, here it is! And while I was waiting Smita tagged me too.

The rules for the tag are:

RULE #1 People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

RULE #2 Tag 6 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people.

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Oh well! I would shed a few tears over a few months and then move on.

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
A peaceful death without too many health problems preceding it.

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
All those who insist on spreading disharmony using God and insist on making religion a dirty word.

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Buy houses and become a land lady and then make and run a very nice old age home with rest of the money, while my regular rental income settled down. This is an effect of staying in rented houses in Bengaluru! :p

5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
Yes! I did and married him too! It's really very cool I tell ya!

6. Which is more blessed: loving someone or being loved by someone?
There is no one-way traffic in loove! But what goes around does come around! If not from the same person, perhaps someone else! :)

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you love?
I gave M six months to get over his 6 year long commitment phobia. So make it 6 and 1/2 years!

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what will you do?
Wait and watch if luck smiles or then move on.

10. What takes you down the fastest?
Incessant Cynicism.

I might as well live it up everyday. Ten years is too far head to even think about it!

12. What’s your fear?
That my fears will keep increasing.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
MM is a genuine person with razor sharp thought process and Smita is a book lover who is high on life!

14. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Married. We will leave the rich or poor out! It's just so filmy! :p

15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Will Cubby eat his breakfast and what to make for ours!

16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously who will you pick?
Can you actually do that?! Geez!

17. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yes! And i would take some too! Let's be real here!

18. Would you forgive and forget someone no matter how horrible a thing he has done?
forgive I always can, forget most of the times. though sometimes both might fail. but thats not happened as yet.

19. Do you prefer being single or in a relationship?
I enjoy being in this relationship and I don't seem to think of a better way of living my life!

20. tag 6 people.

WIAN, AArgee, Dee, Alok, Anu and Cuckoo. Pls to do it ladies and the gent! :D

With that done, Monika and Ansh and Dee also thought I was Brilliante!

Monika said "Abha, I know you have been awarded many time before & you so deserve another one. Whenever I read about any trip that you have been with Cubby & your family, I get transported & can relive the entire experience. You write so well & the pictures you share makes everything so real."

Dee Said "She has such a hilarious view of life and off course her love for cubby is soo visible and beautiful... Makes me wanna have a baby.." (awwww! thanks Dee and sorry for the delay in acknowledging it!)

I pass this one on to,

Avionic Spanker - What's in a name goes true for this one. Head over for some seriously hilarious stuff!

Rohini - for her honest and fun writing. Though I am a fairly new entrant, i am loving it!

Art - for her very cool blog which gives you a lowdown on not just whats been happening in her life, but what is interesting in cultural scape of her city and others too! And Anush is an absolute delight as are the corners of her new home.

Shruthi - I have no idea why she calls her blog Hallucinations because her writing is as real as it gets. Her writings about her daughter Puttachi are sure to make you laugh!

D - I love her thought provoking and heartfelt posts!


Then K3 gave me the precious Blogging Friends Forever card!

She said "Here is a girl whose Smile can brighten anyone’s day, and with her little Cubby really makes our days in blog-o-sphere wonderful, plus she is from Bombay – need I say more … You see, Bombaykiers always tend to gravitate towards each other even if we are no longer in Bombay"

Thanks woman and fellow Bombay ki Mulgi! :)

This goes to Suma, Munchkin's Mom, Cuckoo, Mommy's diary , Smita, i Love lucy and Monika. Thanks for being around is all i can say!

And the grand finale Dearest Swati giving the Million Dollar Friend Award! Whoo! Hoo!


She simply says "Blog or no blog , you are a million dollar friend." Same here Swati, same here! I have always told you how much this friendship means to me! So thank you so much! :)

This one is for Swati, ~nm, Dee, Angie, K3, Mampi, Snippets and Scribbles and Mamma Mia!

Both these awards are actually for everyone who reads my blog and whose blogs I read! I am so tired linking just these many! So forgive my laziness and accept it from me even if your name ain't there! :) Just seeing so many different personalities and points of view has been a totally enlightening ride!! So, Thank ye all for that! :)

Am already looking forward to weekend! No plans yet, but a weekend is a weekend is a weekend! So Yaaaayyyy! :p


I leave you with some of Cubby's cutest pictures on his first birthday which was the first time he actually played in mud and touched green grass and had a complete ball! Literally and otherwise!

These were insightful. What happened to the one question you were supposed to make up? Which one was it?

And what commitment phobia???? You just never could decide on whether we wanted to do the shaadi marathi style or punjabi style. That was the delay! hrrrmphhhh
