Beautiful people of the world! ๐Ÿ˜€
Guess what happened today? I received my first ever Blog award! Itโ€™s given to me byย Jen, a recent follower and a fellow blogger! Iโ€™ve read only a few of your posts Jen, but I loved them! ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you! Youโ€™re a peach! ๐Ÿ˜€
The timing couldnโ€™t have been better! This is my 100th post! Weeeeeeeeee! Bloggie hits a century!! I canโ€™t believe it! Have I really written a hundred blog posts? Seems huge! I love blogging so much Iโ€™m almost addicted to it now. Iโ€™m not complaining! Sniff :โ€™) Itโ€™s a big moment for me and my blog. Two great things happened on the same day!
I.. I would like to thank my mom, dad, sister, teachers, friends, fellow bloggers MYSELF! Muhaahahahahaa!ย 
Anyway, the rules of receiving an award are:
  • Link back to the person who gave you the award.ย  ย  ย  ย 
  • Pick 5 peopleย deserving of the award and notify them on their blogs.ย  ย  ย ย 
  • Post the award on your blog and spread the love.
And the five people Iโ€™m going to pick who deserve this award are:
1.ย  ย  ย ย Em and En dying to sayย (Because she was one of my first few followers and I love and adore her blog with all my heart. Also, because I got to know her and meet her through her blog)
2.ย  ย  ย  ย Why is everything four?ย by Karishma (Because sheโ€™s currently my favourite new blogger. Sheโ€™s a beautiful, beautiful writer and somewhere I feel like sheโ€™s the kind of girl I would fall for if she was a guy. Right, enjoy the ego boost! :P)
3.ย ย ย ย ย ย InsomniaStrikesย by PurpleMist (Because I love the colour and because she reminds me of myself in a lot of ways)
4.ย  ย  ย Muse-mentย  byย Tangerine (Because her blog is fun and vibrant and just the right amount of cool)
5.ย ย  ย Living is a one-way street!ย byย Sakshi (Because sheโ€™s my sishtooo! And because she writes so well. And because her blog needs to be updated! Please do NOT delete it!)
Phew, there! I feel so good spreading all this lourrve ๐Ÿ˜€
Iโ€™ve realized that you constantly have to push yourself to happiness. There is so much to life. You cannot stay unhappy. You canโ€™t.

And when you start going down that way, remember this โ€œIf you want to be happy, be.” โ€“ Leo Tolstoy. Isnโ€™t it amazing? Doesnโ€™t it put a smile to your face instantly? ๐Ÿ™‚
And if even this doesnโ€™t help, go and listen toย this!ย I’ve been singing it all day (And boy, I sound good :P)
I dare you to be upset after this.
And if you’re still upset, go see a shrink wouldja?!
P.S. Thank you again Jen! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Astha! This is super-awesome! You absolutely deserve the award! ๐Ÿ™‚ And thank you for passing it along. ๐Ÿ™‚ Especially with such an awesome awards speech.

    Oh, and can I just take this opportunity to say too many girls have said this to me man! I've actually reached the point where I think the powers-that-be have done me a great injustice by deciding I should be female. If I was a guy, I'd have this long line of awesome girls outside my house! Damn! So close! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Karishma, LOL! You're SO adorable, it's astounding! If there's anyone I wanted to give the award to the most, it was you! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I can understand the feeling of the same sex telling you they would have asked you out only if you had testosterone running in your body instead of estrogen ๐Ÿ˜› Not that I have experienced it myself, but I can imagine! Well, atleast you're getting some attention! Bask in the glory! ๐Ÿ˜›

    Aaaaand, one more thing, can I have your email ID? And, are you there on Facebook? ๐Ÿ˜€
