What is this Leibster Award, Am I worthy of
it. Well don't answer that question for I wouldn't like it. It was just another
Saturday evening and everything is set as per the specifications, suddenly I
got a message from my brother saying that I was nominated for this award Boom
my schedule has to be altered for something better (Thank you Bro).For one
thing I would like to congratulate and appreciate my brother not for nominating
me but just for being nominated by an anonymous person.I personally feel
inspired by my brother Mr Sarma Veturi( although he
wouldn't apprise it) I have written numerous discarded
testimonials for his success hence this wasn't an exception. As far as
this award is concerned what is the greatest appreciation that a blogger or writer
expects from anyone? For that reason is writing about appreciation or
expression? This unanswerable question remains to be a mystery to everyone who
has the ability to read enthusiasm to write and comprehend in any
language.
Frankly Speaking although I write vigorously
in by blog there are a few number of blogs that i read regularly not since I
was busy doing anything but I couldn't find where to follow and whom to follow.
Hence my nominations here would be uncertain in the aspect of worthiness, but I
can assure one thing to everyone that I feel a sense of respect for those who
are gifted with the capability of emoting through writings. This may come as a
surprise but answering, posing questions about his/her life is considered as a
greatest virtue by any writer and kudos to the originator of this
idea through the Leibster( No I don't know what Leibster Means) award. To
avoid frustration in choosing the nominations I came up with an idea which goes
like this starting from the one that nominated me in the first place I would be
nominating the ones from each successive blogger. Congratulations to all these
bloggers for being listed here. You deserve it. Now comes the time of Rapid
Fire Round. Shoot
1. Which character from any work of fiction you can identify
yourself the most with?
This is my favorite question and I would be
very happy while answering it. From my childhood I was a great fan of the
fictitious character Spiderman. The one that was adapted by Sam Raimi suits me
the best. Although it seems a bit childish I always wanted to be a sensible superhero like Spiderman and save
the world from all bad deeds. In this context I remember a scene from my
childhood where I asked my aunt to give me the Spider Man costume if anyone
gifts her on her wedding. Everybody laughed at such an instance and at that
point I couldn’t understand why.
Often I feel like crying while looking at the
sensibilities and naiveties of Peter parker (Thanks to the honest portrayal of
Toby McGuire) in winning his lady love. The saddest part is that being a
superhero he never gets what he requires most starting from a glass of drink.
Now that is too modest for a man like him. Holding the responsibility and doing
the things that are supposed to be right in spite of being trapped by venom
that arises from the inner self is the greatest challenge any person would
encounter. Spider-man does this. And he is my superhero. I can identify myself
with him.
2. What is your favorite movie and why?
There are a lot of favorite movies in variety of languages for me
but films from my mother tongue telugu are all time favorites. A couple of
films among them are Abhilasha and Gangleader. Reason is quite simple I like
the genres Thriller, Action Very much. If you need quite more complex reasons
and films I will start lecturing on 12 Angry men. :D
3. What is your reading frequency?
A Book per a Month and sometimes the count
will increase exponentially depending upon the season.
4. What
is the greatest challenge you face in writing?
The
greatest challenge is to overcome laziness and write. I hardly experience Writers block
5. What
makes you a read a book? It’s Blurb? Review from a person you like? Cover Page?
Author’s Previous Works?
Some
of the above factors seems to be little effective on a person like me since I
read a book because I love reading. But sometimes I happen to pick up the books
that are read by characters in a Movie, Television series, Plays etc. The best
example is “Of Mice and Men” this was read by the character James Sawyer Ford
in TV Series LOST.
6. What
are your reading patterns?
I am
not sure whether or not that I understand this question. But if I may guess
it’s regarding postures I love reading in the chair on the top of a building.
7.How do you fight Bloggers Block?
I
write whatever comes to my mind at that moment and simply put open to
suggestions and improvisations in the end of my post.
8. Do
you think setting yourself target works in writing?
Speaking
of the end results it should work. Productivity can be achieved through
constant practice and targets make us active. If you take too much time to
write considering the outcome meditation is better than writing. If writing is
a form of expression targets are orientations towards expression.
9. How
important do you think grammar is in writing? Especially in English?
That depends on what you are aspiring for.
When you want to narrate a story grammar plays little role and errors that
creep out can be overlooked.
10. What
time of the day is the most conducive for you to right?
Early
in the morning 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM

personally know some of you I wish you all success in your future writings.
