Best Day of my Life of American Authors. [My new favorite song]
Well, well, well ! Up & running. Monsoon brings rain & wonderful people in WP brings awards 😛
Week has started already, so let’s get started with this post also 😀
Kind Thank you to Neerja , Kritika, Roopam & Mon for the nominations 🙂
They all are awesome bloggers and reading their thoughts will surely UP your thinking process 😉
The Liebster award:
Thanks Neerja for the nomination and a great set of questions.
Rapid Fire Round begins–
Q: What is your favorite read so far and why?
A: I have read some great books and still a long to-be-read list is awaiting always. I really loved Harry Potter, reading recently A Song of Ice and Fire(the Game of Thrones series), but I would say The Boy in the Striped Pajamas has been my favorite. The story is so innocent and how a boy struggles to adjust to new places as his father is involved in the World War, The emotions described are lovely. If you want, you can download the PDF of the book in my G-Drive here. A movie is also made on the book. I haven’t seen the movie yet but I have been told that it’s also worth watching. Check it here.
Q: What kind of a person you are sweet or sour or mix up of both?
A: Do anyone tell they are sour? Do anyone tell they are bad? I ain’t for sure telling that 😉 I am sweet. Trust me 😀
Q: What is your favorite food?
A: I was suffering from Typhoid since the last week and till the leaves are continuing 😉 I miss the delicious food 😦 Can’t eat anything from outside and have to wait for some more days also 😦 I love almost every veg, junk food available 😀 I love to eat tid-bits and in regular intervals, rather than 1 heavy meal and done for the day. I love Chole Bhature, all kind of sweets, ice creams, chocolates 😦
Q: Are you a night owl or an early cuckoo?
A: No one in our family is an early cuckoo 😀 Most are night owls and I am *proud*of that 😛 Even though my health was on a down side, I was awake till 3-4 am watching Football or Breaking Bad 😉 If you haven’t seen Breaking Bad, please do, it’s awesomesauce 😀
Q: Which genre you like to read most and why?
A: I love reading Fictional. Harry Potter, GOT, Eragon series, Twilight. Some detective novels are also fun 😀 Strict no to supernatural or scary books or movies also 😉 Reason being, I am sweet guy(I already mentioned that :D).
Q: What’s according to you is your prized possession?
A: The blessings of everyone and my great mother, super sisters and AWESOME F.R.I.E.N.D.S. 😛 I love each and one of them to death.
Q: Do you believe in love at first sight? If yes then why and if no, then why?
A: Yes, I do. To support, check out this cool song Love at first sight of Blue. I was called as Foolishly Romantic by one of my friend and I cherish that 😉 Love is the most important factor holding all of us. I believe that the first impression goes a long way. Love is life.
Q: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
A: Strictly introvert, if you’re a stranger and I don’t like your vibe. I am kind of good at socializing and talk my way through things but the main hindrance comes is the other person is not always willing to listen or understand the situation and then that makes me avoid those kind of people. I can talk at length to anybody(yeah, a stranger also) but he must be willing to participate in the talk 😉
Q: Have you ever cried in public? If yes can you state the incident?(if its personal and you don’t want to share then its ok)
A: If by public you mean family and parents, then YEAH 😉 Some dispute, long way back 😀 I prefer crying alone with closed doors and head inside the blanket.
Q: When was the last time you laughed so hard that you rolled on the floor? And why?
A: These kind of days do not come always but I can say they come quite often. I have such great friends and their sense of humor is so high that having an ache in the stomach due to laughs is frequent. I am blessed in that regard. Some leg-pulling, some mimicry and laughs are with us 😀
Q: Have you ever been made fool? When and by whom?
A: Of course. By God and teachers and everybody who said STUDY WELL AND LIFE WILL BE OKAY ONCE YOU GET A JOB 😀 I can’t see it 😛 But, I am kidding 😉 I don’t know exactly what kind of fool it’s asked(I don’t know the various categories) but friends have made fool like in jest. Life has made a fool, like the above example 😛 There are some examples 😉
Roopam, the sweetum, nominated me with Sunshine Blogger award.
She asks, “Share that one thing you really really really want to do, like down the lane, in future? “.
A: I don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow, so future is the extreme point of uncertainty for me 😉 I definitely want to be a good Dad. That’s very far yet one of the important things for me. Somewhere down the road, I want to make some difference in this world. I had read somewhere, “Make this world a better place than you received.”
All jumbled thoughts. Hope someday, they will be aligned and working 🙂
Mon has nominated me for Quotes challenge. I will write on it soon. Thank you for the nomination though 😉
Kritika nominated me for The Blogger Recognition award.
Something to know about the award :
This award was originally created by Eve @ Edge of the Night
About how Smiles here & Smiles there started:
First of all, this name is not with which it started. It was some other name, which I don’t remember as it was more than 2 years back and I was seldom blogging. Somehow, I changed the name to this and didn’t realize until someone nominated Smiles here & Smiles there. I couldn’t understand, why would someone use the site name and not my name. I didn’t like it and then slowly, I accepted that this name is not that bad and to tell the truth, it very closely signifies me. Now I am in love with the name and to tell a secret, I am thinking of getting a tattoo with the same name on me. Just a passing thought. Will have to give more serious thoughts to it 😛
To the newbies out there, WP is awesome, people here are all friendly and awesome. Connect with them and write whatever comes to your mind. Some will help you, some will guide you, some will encourage you, some will give you platform to launch your words, but most of all, each and everyone will appreciate you. We all feel some strong and unique bond to words and hence this bond will take us all far. Keep writing and keep learning. Keep smiling 🙂
About nominations – Please feel free to write on these and I will be grateful to you for that 😉

It’s one of those art movies I have seen in my initial days of movie watching and I liked the idea of how movie revolves around a kid. Many more movies later have caught my attention and admiration. Chef in the latest list. Do check the movie when u get time.

Ah yes,How would you know any if them? :p
about the other issue, i think such people are hard to find.
I don’t keep grunge in my heart, so I don’t really glare at someone. I simply don’t care about them. And if someone is hell bent to hurt me, I cant smile at them even.
Only such people I know of were divine souls 🙂

We don’t have to know someone that closely to know what kind of person they are. Just seeing some actions of theirs and we can have an overview. We might be wrong in that limited time, but eventually a happy heart is recognized easily I think. We don’t have to smile at one and all and look weird 😉
