Happy 6th Birthday Rendezvous!



I have always been someone who gets bored very easily. Especially things started at the spur of the moment, like this blog. The time I started it, I would never have imagined that I will continue to update it for 6 long years. A lot has happened since, but thankfully the love for writing remains and hopefully shall continue to remain so in the years to come.

Before starting the blog, I never knew I could write. One would imagine that I might also have participated in some school or college level competitions. But no, I have never participated in anything remotely related to writing. So the fact that even after being such an amateur I still write is pretty surprising. Its only before of my readers love and appreciation. Had it not been that I would have stopped long back.

So on this 6th annivarsay for sorts, please accept a heartfelt thankyou! To everyone reading this post. You are the inspiration behind each of my write-ups.
Lots of Love

Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Prosperous New Year greetings from Rendezvous.!

Award Time



Awards make me happy. Period. But when I was bestowed with not one but two, my happiness knew no bounds. It felt like I am a mini celebrity. However I did keep procrastinating this post because of the tremendous amount of work involved in both the awards. Before I start to brief about the awards I want to convey my heartfelt thank you to Sai Charan and Vishal for nominating me.

First award in line is the Liebster Award. This comes with a set of questions created by the person who has nominated you. Here are the rules:
1.       Link back to the blogger who has nominated you
2.       Nominate ten more bloggers and pass the award to them
3.       Answer all the questions given to you
4.       Create your own ten questions set for the nominees
5.       Let them know that they have been nominated

      Liebster is a German word for “dearest” and this award is given to bloggers who have less than 200 followers. I was nominated for this award by Sai from Beyond Barriers and below are my answers to his questions.

1.       What is the happiest moment in your life till now?
It was when my little niece was born. I was away from home, saw her when she was almost 2 months old but I was so so so happy. 

2.       Describe one embarrassingly funny experience you had.
Well, I have had many such moments. Luckily I have some of them documented on Rendezvous. There is not one, not two but three of ‘em. Find them here, here and here.

3.       If a genie grants you three wishes, what would you ask for?
My first wish would be to keep the genie with me always and then I will use my other two wishes as and when I need to.
Actually the first three things that came to my mind were so stupid and shallow that I couldn’t bring myself to write it down here. So I came up with the above answer which come to think of it is not bad at all. Hmmm, good thinking! *Pat on the back*

4.       Mention about an adventurous trip you went on and what makes it memorable.
Well, the question is sad. Sad because it reminds me that my life is so non-adventurous. Anyhow there was this one trip some million years ago, a trekking trip with group of close friends. Some mountain climbing, beautiful waterfalls, a little fun here and there and finally lots of cramps followed by a sick leave on Monday. There was this another trip with a near-death experience in the sea, catch more of that here.

5.       In future, if you were chosen for the Nobel Prize, which field would it be in?
Literature, I hope.

Interesting choice of questions, I hope my answers did justice to them. Coming back to the award, just like always I dedicate this award to all those who drop by my blog and are the reason I am still writing. As far as the questions are concerned, there were originally ten questions, Sai narrowed them down to five and lazy as I am, I have just one question for you guys.

1.       Who according to you, will win this season of big boss? 

Don't make a face. Big Boss is the flavor of this season ;)

Okay then, coming to the second award. It's the Blog-of-the-Year 2013 award by Vishal. I am so excited about it that while I am typing, mentally I am air kissing and reciting my vote of thank you's as if its a best actress award. It would be really unfair if I don't talk about my little audience of readers. Those of you who take out time to visit my page and leave behind sweet comments. And then those of you who visit and leave no trace behind. If it weren't for this invisible kinda support you guys provide, I guess I would have got bored of blogging long back. If I have come this far its only because of the love, encouragement and appreciation that I have received from you dear friends



I would like to nominate the following bloggers for this award.

R Ramesh - Global Madrasi
Sai Charan - Beyond barriers
Chandana - The Girl at the first avenue
Praveen Pandey - न दैन्यं न पलायनम्
Abhi - एहसास प्यार का..
Basically Blah -  A Touch of Tabasco
Vishal - Scripting the story of life

Congratulations to the winners :)

Love:
Sepo

Guest Post & Tag


Vishal offered me to do a guest post for his blog around a month ago. I was very excited about writing for someone else's blog but I wasn't aware of the downsides. As I started, I began to feel a huge pressure, my writing being showcased on somebody's space was a little intimidating. Suddenly it felt as if I was back in school and had to meet the expectations set for me. I somehow managed to write something I thought could be readable and Vishal was very sweet to post it on both his blogs, here on blogspot and wordpress. Thanks to Vishal for giving a lovely introduction of me to his fellow wordpress-ers and appreciating my work. To see what I decided to write for my first ever guest post please check this or this

After taxing my brains for the post, I wanted something light and breezy. That came in the shape of this fabulous tag to which I was tagged by fellow blogger Sumit. Now tags used to be very popular when I started blogging some 3 years back. They are a very nice change from the monotonous post-on-post routine and also give your followers and friends a chance to know you better. Over the years the Tag somehow lot its charm and popularity, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got tagged with an interesting one. There are some rules to be followed, which are as below:

1. You may not remove any question.
2 If you don't wish to answer a question, you may leave it blank
3. No detailed description, for details people can connect separately.
4. Once you are done, you need to tag 5 people from the list of your followers
5. Leave a message to the people, stating they are tagged.

Read on for the interesting questions and my attempt to give interesting answers.
