Butterflies in the proximity

Butterfly AwardMuch of the blog-world in my proximity is getting pollinated by butterflies and how could I get missed?

For 4 consecutive days by 4 different bloggers, my website got awarded an “Award” each, which is really cool! The last time I remember getting awards was back in 2001-02 when I had a static website and there was no trace of blogs or other interactive web elements we see today (oh I almost sound like a grandfather.)

So a big jar of honey to my following blogmates: Gopinath (Butterfly award), Mavin (Proximity award), Odzer (Butterfly award) and Kiran (Friendship bracelet.)
Friendship Embracelet

I am so lazy these days! In other funny story, last night I had a fantastic dream in which I was working as a double agent in one of those terrorist groups. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and the leader of that group suspected that there was something strange going on in his group. I swore to sacrifice my life and destroy India and pledged my allegiance to the group’s cause. Then he sent me to fight a ‘big’ enemy and I was alone in that skirmish. I couldn’t understand who my opponent was but as the enemy came closer, I discovered that it was a giant mosquito. I pointed my weapon towards the monster sized mosquito and felt a very sharp pain on my leg.

Then I woke up and swatted (swot?) the mosquito who had just bitten my leg. :P

Didyouknow didyouknow didyouknow? This is post # 250 on this blog! :)

Finally, an unrelated image:

      LOL I think that the mosquito metaphor was to suggest that we (India) have to deal with internal problems (diseases) in addition to external ones. The thing was quite big :D Very very big (gesturing with hands but you can’t see it… lol!)

    @ Priyank : Sure you do deserve this award, without a doubt. You keep a lovely blog. Stop thinking too much about terrorists and what they do its driving you nuts :p Anyway I have noticed that watching the news before I sleep gives me very troubled sleep so I stopped doing that.

      Thanks again Odzer! And I will take your advice. It’s hard to get your mind off somethings although you know that thinking about them is irrelevant.

    Priyank,

    Congratulations on the Awards and the 250th post. It’s fine to be lazy as long as you enjoy being so. Wish I were around to say welcome to Karnataka.:D

    Enjoy your holidays, and your trips Puku.
