These are just a few gems that stuck an impression in my mind and I would love if they get an award !!!! simple !!!

So for the second list of nominations first up two LEGENDS that I would love to nominate :

• Most Disciplined Blogger 

Ugich Konitari of Gappa !!! I simply love her posts and her dedication to blogging !!!!

IHM – No one else but just her… in my opinion !!!

 

There also are a few category for which I have no clue what and whom to nominate, basically categories that dont interest me :

 Best Consumer Rights Post

Best Book Review – I dont read book reviews mostly … so it wouldnt be fair for me to nominate anyone here… !

Best Music Review Post – Help here !!! I don’t know what to nominate ??? I would love to nominate in this category but I dont think I have read anything … please leave links if you feel there are a few deserving ones… I would love to read !!! Go ahead be a show off and show me !!!
