Thanks Lopa!

Lopa from 'Life as it goes on...' had passed on an award to me about a month and half back and the lazy girl (kicking myself here) saw it now..:). Thanks thanks and many many thanks..:)

I will pick the first award: "How ya goin?"

Answering the questions to this award:

1. Why you made your blog and did you expect it to be popular?

Well, just like anyone I created my first blog to vent. The first one was a private blog which if anyone happens to see, would think I am a psychopath who hates the world! :D

This current blog I started because I always had a thing for writing. I had started the blog more for fun while living in Canada but took it up more seriously after coming to the Netherlands as I had so much new to see and digest.

Blogging is such a great way to express! I never expected anybody to read it but for a few friends and family members whom I bugged to read (it still mostly remains the same I guess)! But I must admit that as much joy and motivation it gives, it does make me conscious when I know that there are people who actually read my blog. I try to do a decent job and not crap around too much! :D

2. Exact date of the start of the blog

April 21st 2008! Wow I din't realize it has been over 2 years! :)

Thanks a lot again Lopa! :) Made my day!

Expat interview series - My turn!

I had the privilege of being a part of the Expat interview series held by - A Letter from the Netherlands. It was fun and self-revealing, answering her questions.

Thanks Amanda!! :)
