Sounds cool!
I know it sounds cool only when you don’t have to hike.
Couple of his friends wives are dedicated hikers and they have convinced me how good I will feel after this challenging hike. No matter what I say my adventure loving husband never gives up on boosting me. He assures me, it won’t be tough now, as I already do some physical sport and several older people climb without any huff and puff. Perhaps he’s right. I just have to train my brain more than the body. If the weather stays good with no rain or snow at all then I might go next Sunday, just to see why so many people are interested in Grouse Grind. Wish me Good luck!
Same way, awards boost up your blogging spirit. Recently, I was awarded the Awesome Blog Content award and some other awards (which I will share some time later) by a young, talented and sweet blogger whose posts always lift up my mood.
Thank You Guru, Choc Chip Uru. She is a wonderful baker and writer. You all know her more than me. If you don’t, just visit her and she will welcome you with her drooling desserts. I am really honoured Uru, that you thought of me for this award and I humbly accept.
Normally, I take too long to share awards. But this was something special. I have received awards before but there were no conditions attached of sharing something other than the normal stuff of posting, thanking and sharing.
The rules to accept this ABC award are to share some facts about yourself using each letter of the alphabet before sharing it along. I think this is a lovely idea to share something with total strangers who we meet via blogging.
So here are few facts about me in alphabetical order.
A: Adaptive – as a person.
B: Believer– strongly believe there is just one God with different names.
C: Chocolate, Coffee, Comics, Cartoons– I never get over it.
D: Dog lover– meet Truffles
E: Enjoy- all types of music. My favourite are:
Boney M
Jagjit Singh
F: Family– my first priority.
G: Gardening– my hobby.
H: Henna– my hair dye.
I: Indian– You can tell.
J: Jack fruit– cook this only as a vegetable
K: Kind– does not take anything to be kind.
L: Lovely– use this adjective more often than any other,
M: Mother– of a beautiful and responsible daughter.
N: Nuts– eat handful of mixed nuts everyday.
O: Organized– as much as possible
P: Patient: most of the time except when my daughter pushes the buttons by leaving mess all around the house and goes to volunteer.
Q: Quick– act quick even if I am wrong sometime.
R: Respect– do respect everyone realizing the fact that everyone deserves it.
S: Sensitive– take things very seriously and far too personally.
T: Thankful– to God everyday for everything.
U: Understanding– with age I have become more understanding and try to let go things.
V: Vacations– love everything about it.
W: Wife– of an amazing man who has the same taste for music as I do.
X: ? – I don’t find any x in me.
Y: Yoga– makes me feel good, relaxed and energized
Z: Zen– back home I liked Maruti Zen car
So that was it, I am now tagging following amazing bloggers for the ABC Award which they deserve more than me, I hope they will accept it.

I am leaving you guys with Alton’s granola.
This is a great addition to any of your plain cereal breakfast. Its nice and crunchy with nuts, raisins and coconut flakes. I also add 1/2 cup of sunflower or pumpkin seeds to get the most out of it.
Have a wonderful Sunday Morning!

With such a supporting husband and being so encouraging, maybe you should consider hiking in the coming week. Congrats on the blog award and yes, Uru is such a sweet person with great baking skills, bringing out desserts which I can stop drooling over and admiring at the same time.
Granola is a wonderful start for the day and one of the best morning breakfast.

You probably should at least give the hike a go, then you can settle the dilemma! Congrats on the award the Uru bestowed upon you, she did make a good choice in passing it on to you. Great way to get to know you better. Also, thanks for thinking of me to pass it along to. I am somewhat backlogged on the awards, but each and every one is much appreciated. Enjoy the day!
