One Lovely Blog Award Nomination

Strangers, complete strangers, write in to tell me that they enjoyed reading what I wrote.
Today, someone nominated me for an award: One Lovely Blog Award

Here's the pizazz:

Rules
1. Thank the person who has nominated you and shout out loud.
2. Pass on the award to 5-10 bloggers.
3. State 7 random facts about yourself.
4. Post the award pic on your wall.

RULE #1 - Thank the person who has nominated you and shout out loud:

Dear Aashirwad Nunihar,
I've never known you outside your blog, or outside my facebook page, but you've been wonderful enough to nominate me and acknowledge my work as worthy of an award. It means a lot to me as a reader and writer, since it's coming from a reader and writer like myself.
I really appreciate it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

RULE #2 - Pass on the award to 5-10 bloggers

RULE #3 - State seven random facts about yourself

1. I love cats. I have a cat.
2. I pretty much love all animals, but I'm not one of those "SAVE EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS" fanatic. I believe I do what I can, when I can.
3. Another strong belief I have is that artists don't need to be continuously grieving or sleep deprived to be creative (it's a different issue if they ACTUALLY ARE and not forcing themselves to be).
4. Eventually, I want to write a book or story that gets turned into a film, for which I will also (hopefully) write the script. I want my lyrics turned into songs too.
5. I sing. Occasionally. And in the shower. I thank my mother for tolerating it at 9am.
6. I love to paint and make random digital art pictures. Most are here: http://www.facebook.com/niyatiwrites/
7. I like to share what I learn/know. Writing fictional stuff tends to limits me sometimes, so I also have another blog that expresses my life-event-and-memory-writing side. http://rulesoftheuniverse.blogspot.com/ I try not to get preachy, and I try to bring clarity to the ideas and lessons I learn and share.  

RULE #4 - Post the award pic on your wall


DONE.
