This happens only in Blogosphere!

Have you ever read or heard of an award that Rakhi Sawant got from Mallika Sherawat?
Or the one that Pritamda awarded to AR Rehman?
Or that Sonam Kapoor bestowed on Deepika Padukone?
Or that Vidhu Vinod Chopra awarded Sanjay Leela Bhansali?

You didn't. Because, they simply didn't!

Did Sachin Tendulkar give an award to Sania Mirza?
Did Saina Nehwal give it to Abhinav Bindra?
Did Harbhajan give it to Shreesanth or even to Andrew Symmonds?

Did NR Narayanamurthy give an award to Aziz Premji?
Did Anil Ambani give it to Mukesh Ambani?
Or Atalji give an award to Advaniji? Or even to Manmohanji? Or to Soniaji?

Did Buddhadev Bhattacharya give an award to Mamata Bannerji?
Even though she did a better job of driving away industry from the state than all the Left parties did in their entire lifetimes put together, he didnt!

Niether did Balasaheb award Raj Thackeray!
Even though his attempt to drive away "outsiders" surpassed all the Senior Tiger's past efforts on similar lines - he didnt!

Btw - "Outsiders" can be the Indian Word of the Year 2008. What say?

But I got an award from fellow-blogger, and a more creative writer than myself Indyeah! I have blogrolled you, Indyeah and thank you so much for the award!

The Kreativ Blogger award is sitting smugly at the top alongside. Beautiful isnt it? Some people even think I deserve it! I am proud to belong to the blogosphere, where one receives an award from equally or perhaps even more worthy of Creativity than I am! This happens only in the blogosphere!

So three cheers for all of us in the blogosphere! We are much better than the filmy artistes, business barons and the politicians, who never award each other.

I confer the Kreative Blogger award to two very creative bloggers that I have been thoroughly impressed with ever since I have begun blogging:



1. Ramesh Srivats - Let's Put da

2. Satish Acharya - The world of an Indian Cartoonist


I am sure they deserve this award for being very creative in their blogposts.

Come on, applaud to the high pitch of drumrolls, please!

I would also like to once again thank all those who had awarded me in the past!

Tickled by Life!
Another thing that happens only in the blogosphere is an invitation to write for other blogs/websites. When I found this simply wonderful young website, on personality development, training and life issues, aptly named "Tickled by life". I was surprised to find more than 60 ticklers, posting their tickles on this website.

And I was thinking I was the lone tickler, stupid me! When I read their most popular tickles, I found that these tickles were of a different kind. They tickled someplace else! In a way that would make you think and want to change!

I left a message "from one tickler to another". Soon enough I got an invitation to write for their website! I grabbed the opportunity to be one among 60+ ticklers.

Do read my first contribution on tickledbylife.com!

Do subscribe to tickledbylife - I am sure you all will simply love it!

I am sure the blogosphere can do a lot more to humanity than you can ever imagine!

Thank you, all! Proud to be a blogger!

You know when I started blogging and saw some of these awards on a few blogs, I actually thought that they had been given by some institution etc after great scrutiny. Then, when I found these butterflies and the like in places where life cannot exist, I began to wonder whether these were also rigged like the Padma awards.

It is only much later I realised how pleasurable it was to scratch an itching back and get yours scratched in return! At least these awards are fair...we recognise and compliment each other without hang ups and huge ego problems!

Solilo said...

Reached here from blog hopping.

Congratulations! and from your posts it is evident that you deserve such awards.

In real life, people might not stop to appreciate you but in blogosphere people do. Wonders of blogosphere!

Congrats man!!

"Btw - "Outsiders" can be the Indian Word of the Year 2008. What say?"

No it cann't....how can a word that earns the living for some be limited to just one year, with election rounf the corner...it will cause more din in 2009 :(

Gopinath's "Artickles" said...

@ Indyeah,Thanks once again. Will certainly continue artickling to the best of my abiity.

@ Sahaja, @ Ajit, @ Kanaguonline,
Thank you very much!

Gopinath's "Artickles" said...

Hey What's in a name! Congrats to you too - for that award from Farhan Akhtar! Keep it up!

@ Vinod Sharma, Yes that happened to me too. In fact i did not even know how to pick up an award! Now we do! You're right about healthy relationships that you conclude with.

@ Solilo, welcome to my blog and do keep visiting and read my old faves. Thanks

@ Manju Thanks for the compliment!

Gopinath's "Artickles" said...

@ Lvs, How about Soniaji awarding Lalooji? But to me it is just one blogger to another! Thanks.

@ Chirag, @ Smitha - Thanks!

@ Swaps - Thanks. Yes elections being round the corner, you expect some bhaichara going around? Suddenly Pakistani comedy artistes are the only "outsiders"

Nita said...
