I have been conferred with ‘The Sunshine Blogger Award’ on WordPress by Siddharth Dua . Link to his blog. http://www.obsoletereality.com.
From the little I know of Siddhartha, what emerges is his consistent supportive and encouraging nature to his fellow bloggers. He is a true conversationalist which reflects very well in his writings. I wish him all the very best in his life as well as his writing endeavours.
Here are my answers to Siddharths questions…
What brings you to blogging?
The simple joy of reading and writing….My need to express and share my thoughts where it would find readers who will share likewise.
Who is the most important person in your life?
My immediate family is very important to me in equal measures.
What are your fitness goals and how you plan to achieve them?
My fitness goals are to be active every day ,long enough to break into a healthy sweat, that keeps me healthy and at ease body and mind.
Money according to you is?
Is a necessity but not everything.
Will you invest in stocks or FDs?
Not a stocks player for sure!
If you had millions of dollars would you still be working in the same organization that you are presently working.
I work for myself and thus I know it is a privilege that can allow me to do all that can and want to …so perhaps if I had all that money I would do more to make that money work for me in ways I want it to.
Have you ever been depressed in life?
We all have our highs and lows in life but thankfully have ‘Dancing’ to turn towards whenever I need a spring in my steps.So have managed just fine so far.😊
Do you think there a stigma attached in going to a psychiatrist?
Not any more. Glad that there is a lot more acceptance on taking help when needed for mental health issues in India.
Have you ever suffered from insomnia, if yes what you did about it?
Sleep doesn’t elude me … Nor do I elude it. We are fine friends whenever and as much required.😊 Being a morning person. I do prefer to sleep early as much as possible.
My nominations are… it is tough to choose from so many awesome bloggers. So in no particular order:

My questions for fellow bloggers
What is your take on equality of sexes?
What is your idea of happiness?
What is your idea of a perfect day in your life?
Do you like to dance, if so what style or form attracts you?
What are you most thankful for?
Among the many valuable qualities what is the most important quality to develop as a human being?
Looking forward to hearing from you all.
Have a beautiful day all!!! 🌻🌻🌻

I totally understand And I must add your sense of engagement with your fellow readers is commendable . To be fair I did get nominated a couple of times earlier but never took it up further, for I did consciously stay away from them, or perhaps was not too keen on writing answers to questions posted …. but your keen words somewhere was in parlance to my thoughts and I decided to reciprocate . So thank you and have a wonderful day !

I have a selfish motive in asking these questions as I am planning to write a post on mental diseses and how it affects people. I also wanted view of some of my fellow bloggers who I think can give a good opinion on the subject and you answers have helped me. As far as questions on money and fitness are concerned, I am inquisitive to know how intellectual and creative think about it. Thanks for answering and accepting the award. I really appreciate it.
