You know what I said about awards a few days back… with the new job pressures, it wont be possible for me to fulfil every nomination, but I will do my best to show my thanks in one way or another..
Well, yesterday, on my birthday, the lovely Sumana from the blog An Artsy Apetite nominated me for the Starlight Blogger Award. For this, I am extremely grateful, but I have accepted this award in the past, so I’d like to reblog the nomination post, in the hope you, my Peeps, will go visit her blog, and click follow too!

Starlight Blogger Award Do what you love doing and keep at it. I truly believe in this and am happy and humbled when my blogging community and audience recognizes it and appreciates the effort.
This Award is “to honor those individuals who are considered “The light emanating from the stars, “ the bloggers that brings daily light into your soul with their creativity, the blogs you love to read, listen and visit!”

Life, Getting In The Way Again!

Well, It’s September, and 2 more holiday days until I go back to school, As the teacher, yes! Dreading it, but quietly excited too, after all this will be my first full academic year as a teacher, with my own class!

But, with all this fun starting, and family life, there are things that may fall by the wayside, and I don’t want my blog to become one of those things! So I shall have to be more organised.

I have taken a (painful) decision that unless it is new to me, I may not be able to participate in awards tags. But as I have written before, here, I hate to ignore, or disregard anyone who has thought of me. So, new Ritu decision, I shall reblog any nominations, and if I am able to participate I will. But If I can’t, then the reblog will still give my nominator a big thanks, and hopefully some new follows or likes!

Hopefully I shall be able to post daily too, but if I am not here posting, I will be reading. Where I can I shall be scheduling… you know me, I can;t keep away, and I am sure the new academic year will bring plenty of blogger fodder!

(and the fact that I hit 40 in 2 days!!!!)

Until later Peeps! Have a wonderful day!

What do you the most?

Answer these questions:

Why did you want to start a blog in the first place? I never set out to start a blog, I fell into it accidentally! I didn’t even really know what a blog was… But now I’m here, you can’t get rid of me too easily!!

What is your favorite book? That is a toughie. I love books in general far too much to have a favourite!!

What do you dislike the most? I hate conflict. I can’t cope if there is a fight or argument. All I want is for it to stop…

What is your favorite food item from the mall? Like books, this is another hard one… I love food with a passion, from freshly baked bread, to chocolate, and ice cream, crisps and cereals, to fruit and veg! … Why you asking me tough questions!!!! And my stomach size will vouch for the love of food I have! 😜

What is your favorite pass-time activity? I love to read, and blog, and watch films… If I have spare time, I’ll do one or all of these things!
