6th Blog Anniversary

Dear friends,

As I woke up to the beautiful message from WordPress to remind me of the blog’s 6th anniversary, I looked back and realized this had been a wonderful journey of evolution,whether it is writing  poetry, life or anything,we eventually grow and evolve.

Thanks to WordPress which gave me this platform and connected me to few of wonderful people I had ever come across.The most important has been Shaheen Dhanji who has been a friend, co author, guide and inspiration all through out. Few friends like Vishal, Rachna , Rekha , Eric, Wendell,Jensy have been always encouraging.

I would like to take this opportunity and share few updates and captures of the recent developments . Although I rarely come on WordPress and the rate of posts have reduced, it always feels amazing to connect to the fellow bloggers. I always have the urge to come back and post my works here. WordPress has been like a family to me which encouraged me when I had just started the voyage .

The picture is captured while I got felicitated by the Chairman, Zilla Parishad , Vijayawada on occasion of International Multilingual Poetic Meet. The anthology already has found place in the Limca Book of World Records with more than 948 poems in 85 languages from across the world. My poems in four different languages are a part of this prestigious anthology.

What better way of celebrating the 6th bloganniversary than sharing this info here with the bloggerfriends,as this poetic journey had started from here .

Thanks for all the love and support.

Stay blessed,

Best wishes,

Soumya

The “Best Moment Award” actually goes to people who

The unlimited challenges that I see inspire me and the wonderful blogs I read are always a wonderful experience to share.

Thanks to Ajayji who nominated me for this wonderful award! He is a very kind person with a fighter spirit.A silent one in nature yet his posts of different genre of photographs show his esteem taste and choice.His love for nature gets displayed by his exclusive random picks from the internet .

For the rules I have to complete… A great reader is…

A great reader is the one who can comprehend the thoughts expressed in a write up efficiently,who can realize the depth of the emotions involved in it, who knows the importance of every single word written,who admires the writer for having tried to lay down his ideas and feelings in front of everyone without any inhibitions,who acknowledges the effort of words depicted and leaves a humble mark or remark  as a sign of his presence there!

Gys a beautiful woman with a warm heart who writes in French as well as posts its translation in English. You will love the combination of the photographs she posts that have wonderful special effects.

I met Terry few days back in this blogging world. A brilliant writer and an interesting person ,she presented me with this wonderful piece of love. Few questions from her side!

1) What’s your most remarkable memory from your childhood?

I remember almost every bit of my childhood and cherish the days more when I was a kid .Without Tv ,internet,computer,video games and any other gadgets…I loved to spend the time amongst friends playing outside or with my pet kitten. I never knew until I grew up  what is being bored?

2) Have you ever tried any extreme sports?

No ,But I do like the adventure of getting involved in it!

3) Which recipe you would like to learn and cook?

The Lasagne

4) Which thing could ruin your day?

A hurting remark from my dear one!

5) Do you prefer reading books or watching movies?

I love both ! I love watching movies which have good music and simple touching story! I like reading books which are reflection of human nature and character,specially the philosophical or spiritual books!

This superb exciting piece of recognition is from Kz! She included me in the band of women pirates!Kz is a versatile writer ,an all in one person! Perfect in every write up and bubbly in nature!  Seems she would be taking me onto a wonderful adventurous journey along with other pirates! S We are going to be a band who will rob people of their sadness,loneliness,gloominess and perhaps inject them with a doze of happiness! I would love to be such pirate who can steal the lost peace of mind from you,who can snatch the dullness of your soul and refreshen you with splash of sprinkles of joy !

A humble token of gratefulness to Wendell  http://wp.me/p1jKxA-2YRwho nominated me for this special and prestigious award.To be nominated by Wendell is in itself a gift and a blessing,for his words have true reflection of the divine.

 

Hope Unites Globally – HUG Award Guidelines.

The HUG Award© was initiated by Connie Wayne at A Hope for Today at http://ahopefortoday.com, which promotes hope, love, peace, equality, and unity for all people.

The HUG Award©

• is for people with an expectant desire for the world, for which they:  Hope for Love; Hope for Freedom; Hope for Peace; Hope for Equality; Hope for Unity; Hope for Joy and Happiness; Hope for Compassion and Mercy; Hope for Faith; Hope for Wholeness and Wellness; Hope for Prosperity; Hope for Ecological Preservation; Hope for Oneness

•  recognizes and honors those who help keep hope alive in our current world, which is plagued borld, which is plagued by war, natural disasters, and economic recession.  They nurture hope, in any of the above areas (in italics),  by the work they do, or in their personal lives with things such as blogging, public speaking, charity work, etc.

• is for people who, without giving up or compromising their own religious, spiritual, or political beliefs, are able to nurture hope and respect the dignity of all people.
  

• is for those who, without bias or prejudice, use their resources and gifts to make the world a better place for everyone.

• is for people who have a hope or an expectant desire that the work or talents they use in things such as blogging, public speaking, charity work, etc., will make a positive impact on the world.

These people do not have to actively use the word “hope” in their work or creative talents.  They only need be conscious of their desire to make the world a better place for everyone.

These people use their available resources–a smile, a hug, a helping hand, a listening ear, a voice, time, money, possessions, education, personality, talent, websites and blogs—to make a positive impact on the world and make the world a better place to live.
