Last week I got a mail that excited me . The mail was from one of the fellow bloggers and it said that my blog www.alubhujia.com had been nominated for Liebster Award 2018 . I didn’t know what Liebster Award meant . So I searched and came to know that it is an award that exists only on the Internet and is given to bloggers by other fellow bloggers . Liebster in German means “sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome”. Although I haven’t yet turned out as a professional blogger but I am happy that one of my blogger friends liked my blog so much to be nominated for a lovely Liebster Award.
I feel grateful that Blogger Vartika from vartikasdiary nominated me . About Vartika , she is a mother of twin girls . An HR professional , lover of music , crafts , books , she is a big foodie too . She is an extrovert but simple person who says “I can’t take fakeness and duality at all . The people who are meant for you will stay in your life come what may and the rest will automatically gravitate away .” She started her blogging journey in September 2017 while she was trying to cope up with her father’s loss . Writing started bringing peace for her . She blogs on various topics like parenting , relationships , travel and lifestyle . You can meet her on fb here
