And the award goes to...

Isn't this so cool? Piper gave me the Brilliant Weblog Award! What a great way to start my day :) It's like I ramble on about nothing, and I win something for it! What a wonderful world!I would like to mention at this point that I had to struggle to get into the habit of blogging - and I'm so glad that in around ten months of regular blogging, I have managed to write almost 300 posts - and still going strong. From what I understand, this award is meant to encourage blogging more than anything else. I've personally pushed a lot of people to blog, just because I know for a fact the positive effects of blogging. So all of you who read and don't write, you're missing out on something great...

So here are the rules:
"The Brilliant Weblog award- a prize given to sites and blogs that are smart and brilliant both in their content and their design. (Ahem!)
The purpose of the prize is to promote as many blogs as possible in the blogosphere. Here are the rules to follow:
1. When you recieve the prize you must write a post showing it, together with the name of who has given it to you, and link them back
2. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs (or even more) that you find brilliant in their content or design.
3. Show their names and links and leave them a comment informing they were prized with ‘Brilliant Weblog’
4. Show a picture of those who awarded you and those you give the prize (optional).
5. And then we pass it on!"

Simple enough, you would think. My problem is that I'm more of a writer than a reader. Under these circumstances, I shall cheat a bit. Some of the blogs have already received this award - but I'm sure they won't mind getting one more acknowledgment of their brilliance :D

The seven brilliant weblogs are:

1. Apple Bee - For being my first blogger friend. I got hooked because of her honesty - and later discovered her wonderful sense of humor. You rock, AB!

2. Aditya - For his gross political incorrectness and degenerate life in general. Love his strange writing style :)

3. Daisy - For her interesting ramblings and musings! She doesn't update too often but makes sure I write often enough :P

4. RaisingT - I know how hard it is for her to blog, and yet she keeps trying - and that's what counts :)

5. The Mad Momma - What do I say?! She inspires me. I would not be here if it wasn't for MM's honest and courageous blog.

6. Chandni - I recently started reading her blog, and now I'm totally hooked. It's funny, sane and brilliant all at once!

7. Piper - For being thought provoking in her every post - for writing beautifully - and for making me feel so special :D
