And another one!
Amaya of Life of An El Paso Woman has blessed me with another award! The Liebster Award, no less! Thank you my dear, it is much appreciated!
Awarded 30/7/15
So, the rules…
For those of you who have never heard of The Liebster Award before, it’s an online award given to (usually new) bloggers (generally with less than two hundred followers) by other bloggers. Accepting the award means adhering to a few rules which normally involve answering 11 questions asked by the blogger who nominated you, adding 11 facts about yourself, then nominating between 3-11 bloggers and asking them 11 questions of your own.
Oops! Well, I might be a tad over the required followers mark, but hey, I guess I am still new to some of you!
11 Facts about me
I can’t think of anything new! So if I have repeated myself in the list below, in another post, I apologise!
- My Musical influences are varied, from Western, to Eastern music, from Pop and Soul, to Religious and Dharmic!
- My Dad is the best man in the world, and has coloured my life, in the best way possible. I am lucky that my Hubby Dearest fit the mould!
- My Mum has been a rock for me, through out my life, and has been there through thick and thin, and is still there, always.

- I learned the guitar as a 10 year old, but the teacher was awful and would slap your wrist with a pencil if you got a note wrong…put me off big time!
- On the Chura, at my wedding, the function that happens the night before a girl gets married, I wore an outfit that used the marital headscarf of my maternal grandma, and when I was gifted a second one during the ceremony, I was given my mums wedding scarf.
