Too many entries left 'eternal depression' depressed.

I entered the woof contest again this week. With my poetry the The Eternal Depression.


But this time there were too many entries - much better than mine. This made me realize that - I need to improve more on the way I write and put in some strong feelings in my poetries like the winners did.

The details of the contests and the winners are -

Finally Poetic Architecture wins the "I love your blog Award"


Yesterday, while scrawling through my comments I noticed a comment from Kavita (My Top & The best commenter) which read –

“Hi Sanjay, I gave your blog an award, come pick it up at my blog.”

To my surprise my blog received the same award - I was craving for from so many days. I used to see this on every other blog, but always thought that my blog wasn’t worth it yet. Kavita did made my day, further she also described my blog in the most amazing words ever. You might want to check it out on her blog - A little of this, and a little of that.

Poetic Architecture. Sanjay an excellent poet, displays his written talent in a well put together poetry blog. Labeling himself as an optimist, his talent shines through his words. Take a peak, you won't leave once you do!

Thanks a million Kavita, you surely made my day.

Not to be mean enough, this award comes with a rule “You submit an award to seven blogs: If you receive an award, you do the same, and send that reward to at least 7 other bloggers. So go ahead, spread the love, and make somebody smile. :)”

Therefore I spread my love and would like to reward the following:

Style Unlimited: One… most extremely catchy blog which would catch your eye the minute you log in. The icing is the posts she writes. Vridhi, a Fashion Designer, details all her designs and the fashion tips. She endorses to have worked with couple of reputed designers. Walk in her store (in the form of her blog) I am sure you would love what she has to sell (though she doesn’t charge anything in exchange, except time).

Craving for Fun: The first time I read the name, it gave me ideas as - do you need fun, come over, the next minute it changed my perception as the author craves fun. The magic of this blog is spread only once you read its posts. Raj, patient and optimistic, loves to talk about his past experiences. He sometimes makes them sound funny and sometimes pitiful. Take a look to know more.

Way to Jobs: One blog which believes in the philosophy “sharing knowledge is comparable to sharing your lighted candle”. Aditya believes in “Help and Get Helped” while he writes about the openings he has come across the company. Take a look who knows you might find a right job match for your career.

Holy Trance: This blog features her personal feelings in the form of poems, posts and what not. I always thought she was a cheerful girl who always took things so jovially. After reading her blog (from the post 1) now I know Asha who is “Always Smiling...” does also have some feelings and is surrounded with some really painful past deeds. Take a peek to have the same consensus.

Ramblings from my wandering mind: Shilpa, one of my old pals, labels herself to be Impulsive, obstinate, opinionated, completely crazy and confused! Her writing basically runs around anything that holds her attention, Yes that surely means ANYTHING. But she always writes her heart out. Go ahead take a look and you’ll agree too.

Cherrie's Blogs: Amrita, a great writer, can describe even the smallest event to mean the world. Her writings contain the magic to grab your attention and to ask for more. Take a look at her writing to know more.

Trying my best, not to Bullshit: Already been part of one of my posts earlier, this blog steals the show by introducing two budding poets (Amir & Pragnya) who are actually breaking up. The conversation and the sad feelings undergone are all seen and felt. It just has a single poetry, but is in itself worth an appreciation.

Let me Love follows the foot steps of Tears...

After "Tears" topped the Sept 29 Woof Contest. I posted "Let me Love" as another entry.
