Okay, so I got my first Liebster Award. Many thanks to Niranjan who found my blog worthwhile enough to nominate it for a Liebster.
All this while I had never been very serious about blogging, just jotting down my random thoughts once in a while, then abandoning blogs after I got bored of them, again making new ones and then abandoning them. But I guess, it's about time I take to blogging seriously, for the appreciation I am getting from friends and fellow bloggers is really working as a huge motivating factor. I am sure I will get better with time and write more frequently about my big and small travels.
