Devil Mood from Love is Stronger than Pride has awarded my blog with this. I feel humbled, high and bloated at the same time. Like a priest on a package trip to the Eiffel Tower. After consuming way too many salted peanuts.I started my blog on a whim. Irregular and without the faintest idea that it would come this far. It's different now. I write because I like sharing my life with you. I try to be entertaining. And I have no idea how far I succeed. I have been caustic, vitriolic, eccentric, phallic and even electric. Using the well-known (and abused) tools of mild exaggeration and hypothermia to engage those who stumble here. Sometimes, everyday. I am in no way the perfect person. Nor am I even close to being a perfect writer. But I try to be honest with my feelings. Sometimes to the tune of self discovery. Without sitting in dark corners and occasionally muttering 'hmmm'.
But you are the real reason why I am here. I might not know all of you as combinations of flesh and blood, but you are to me, the world. I have made some exceptional friends (you all know who you are) and I have been continuously amazed at the things you have thrown up at me, sometimes to me.
Now comes the hard part where I have to award this to those that I think deserve it. And without further ado, here they are.
educatedunemployed - Her stream of consciousness is often more scathing than mine. She's vanished in the last few days though. I wish her the best.
gaizabonts - Writer, photographer, blogger, philosopher, friend. His words and images are like brush strokes upon your soul. And the scars stay with you long after you leave.
madelyn - How would you like to start your day with a dollop of sunshine? Madelyn radiates positive energy (just the way its written). She writes like frosted sugar. I am enamoured by her. I am comforted by her.
videoxy - Stumbled upon her one day and now we are connected. Her thresholds of pain and love is eerily similar to mine. Maybe that's why I love her so much.
I don't know if you guys have already been awarded. But you deserve this. This is my list anyway. To everyone I read, I love what you write as well. And I shall continue to haunt your space.
Like it or not.

thats a good rating...i thoroughly enjoy your posts and wait for more.
keep writing!
I am thrilled, but more by your love than the award. And too taken aback by surprise and joy to say anything else right now.
WHERE IS MY AWARD?
meraj - thanks. though you have completely disappeared. but i am sure you have had a lovely time doing so. welcome back here. keep dropping in.
videoxy - you are thrilled. you are experiencing surprise and joy. what more do i really need? you deserve every bit of it. hope you have a great day.
neville - "the world's laziest blogger award" goes to you. now say thank you and get back to middle earth :)
One of the reasons i love blogging so much is that i get to peek into others people's lives, with their permission of course, and see some part of the world through their eyes.. and maybe mess up their thoughts once in a while while I'm in their head reading their thoughts :p
And after reading innumerable thoughts of people i havent really seen or met either, i can safely conclude too that there is infact only a 6 degree seperation amoungst all of us.
And you my friend, definitely deserve that award! Keep blogging!
:)
Your writing is excellent
~ beyond excellent ~ a rare
literary jewel in the blogworld
with such a current of longing
swirling far below the
angst ridden surface ~
(my take anyway:)
thank you dearly for your award
and kind sweet words ~
i just want to say i really
am appreciative of it ~
i am a bit terrible when it
comes to passing awards on
~ i get so anxious about
choosing (therefore excluding)
but i want you to know you
would/will be on my list
as well:)
:)
I blog because it is only then that I get people to listen to what I have to say..and thats a lot!
Loved your blog. Loved your blog name better!
murighonto! thats one of my favorite dishes. :)
You continue to make me smile. Thank you. I am indeed lost right now but come middle of next week I am hoping to be back. Like it or not. :)
ashmita - the theory holds true. almost eerily at that. and i have seen a pattern exist in the small sub-groups that form within a certain peer group. all very interesting. all very real.
maddie - oh maddie. you deserve the award like no other. you have no idea how powerful your writing can be to a sometimes despondent person like me :)
dreamy - thank you. its beentwo years and suddenly i get two compliments for the blog name. yes, it is one of my favourite dishes too. and please do keep dropping in.
educatedunemployed - you are welcome. i hope everything is okay with you and can't wait to have you back. please, make it fast.
of course i like it. being haunted, even if it wouldn't be the word i'd choose.
a much desrved award, my dear friend. and who is the perfect person anyways? the ones that the world considers anywhere close to perfect, are long dead and gone.
2 of your own choices are my favourites too - and nobody could have praised them better.
the other two, i'm gonna go and read soon. thank you!
nice going dude..
You deserve an 'Excellent' and more Phish! Keep writing and keep haunting. I enjoy being haunted if you will ;)
nice.. :) madelyn's blog cheered me up with those bright photos and posts... m glad i went to her world from urs...
hello there...again. I'm actually commenting on this and the last post.....iron maiden :) one of my friends is trying to get me to listen to iron maiden, cool, but metallica's always my first love....
and hell, I have not much to say, I'm just commenting to say hi i guess
so, hi.
truly honoured, sir!
for the record, I'll like it, believe it or not!
;)
dharmabum - thank you. i hope by now you have got a taste of the others. really stupendous blogs. and i am running out of adjectives. i wish you'd write more often though.
aroon - thanks. i also think this is the first time you have commented on my blog. i appreciate that. really.
why have you stopped though?
miss iyer - ah. thank you. i am so overwhelmed.
gauri - have you been to the others? they are all really good. all different viewpoints and thats what makes it more interesting.
mystique - my maiden affliction started when i was thirteen. now though subdued it still raises my blood pressure a few notches. in a good way. if its possible.
gaizabonts - you are welcome dear sir. and i hope you go on to even bigger things.
ya i guess.. i usually used to sms u when i liked something n ur blog..
i read your blog...its so beautiful..so well said...i have just started writing and was doing the usual next blog action and found your blog..Gosh!!!!!
aroon - yup you did. and it is always appreciated.
ziggy stardust - i am glad you liked it. hope to see you again. keep writing.
I stumbled upon your blog by mistake and i think was curious to read more by the name.. murighonto- i love that dish... your writing- there's this knack you have in all your writings where on some level the reader identifies with all that you're saying and trying to say... so keep writing and maybe when i get the recipe of the 'perfect murighonto' i'll send it to you!
cheers!
I am of the same opinion as the awarder.
People blog for so many reasons....hardly come across anyone who creates such a connection with the reader.
luna - i love mistakes. especially the ones that bring people here :) i visited your blog. why the long hiatus? i am waiting for the recipe.
stardust - ah. thank you. and its strange that people identify with this. it started off as a very private space. keep dropping in.
Phish. COngratulations! You deserve this and more. Somehow I have always prefered to mail you rather than leave a comment here, I'm not sure why. I tihnk it's an idiosyncracy. I also want to thank you for encouraging me to write and for reading what I write. I often get inspiration from what you write. Hope to read many more posts.
phish, there's a young lady in goa called rita waiting to meet you, please go check out my latest post, lynn
I think the long hiatus is because of a lack of muse! and the recipe's coming up...
