I’ve said this before – I don’t do awards. They don’t come to me often either, I must add. But when they did, I accepted them gratefully without actually “pasting” the colorful, jigna-ed emblems on my blog page, since I don’t approve of them much.

This award saves me the trouble, for it doesn’t have an emblem anyway.

I don’t really lose much sleep over ‘non-deserving’ blogs bagging awards. It’s akin to Vaira Nenjam getting high TRP ratings – if the audience like it it’s their problem. However, as I said earlier, I do feel sad when genuinely good blogs don’t get adequate recognition.

Now comes the pick: My vote goes to Chutneycase. I do not know her, online or offline, and chanced on her blog via Blogeswari’s page. She’s the puliyodharai answer to Asal Tamizh Penn’s vatha kuzhumbu Just as tangy, just as spicy. Her blog is several times more popular than mine – she hardly needs my encouragement – but I still think she deserves more recognition.
