I am usually lazy when it comes
to blog prompts, but this prompt had me hooked on totally! The reason – It’s all
about loving your blog buddies!
I have made some amazing friends
in the blogosphere in the last 2 years. It’s a very special kind of a bonding –
we might have never met, but here, in this virtual world, we share the same
passion! We share happiness when a blog buddy wins accolades for a job well
done; while we always keep the shoulder ready when one of us cribs about the
lack of time or the challenges faced in a tough environment.
So, today, I shower my blog love
on a very special blog buddy of mine – Manjulika of Pendown.
She was my saviour at my first
blogger meet and there has been no looking back since then!
Apart from being the gem of a
person, Manjulika is also a voracious reader. Her blog boasts of more than 100
book reviews! As she often tells me, she doesn’t do a review or write a post
unless she doesn’t feel something about it. That gets her credibility quotient
high! You will find her blog oozing with book reviews where she puts her heart
and soul in giving us the true opinion about the book, sans the spoilers. She
happily awards smileys to the books reviewed.
A telecom engineer by profession,
the lady also loves being a globetrotter, thanks to her patidev’s job. In the
last 2 years, she has travelled to a whopping eight countries! Of course, being
a blogger, this gives an added advantage since she has done some fabulous
travelogues. I loved these posts of hers for her extensive and frank portrayal
that help one prepare himself before heading for that place.
Her coverage about Riyadh is fun
to read…she told me she had to wear Burqa at the airport itself and couldn’t even
pose hand in hand for a pic with her hubby!
When she is not busy with book
reviews and globetrotting, the lady loves to play with colors on canvas! I
sometimes wonder how she manages so many acts together…and often she is the one
asking me the same. Did I tell you we share the same Birthday?
I know after this shower of blog
love for Manjulika, you would wanna hop on straight to her blog!
