Hey Privy Trifles is One

Hey Privy Trifles completes a year of blogging today....


I have very mixed feelings right now - start with confusion, pride, happiness to fear. Confusion about what next, pride for where I have reached, happiness as I have completed a year and fear of the unknown.

Nevertheless this definitely calls for some celebration!!

To celebrate this occassion I have decided to have my very own awards on this occasion.I googled a lot about Blog Awards and found many things which would be tagged and take forward. But I don't know why the didn't click with me . You understand what I mean , that typical feeling you get when you get exactly something you are looking for. So finally I got tired and decided to THINK. And the results are for YOU to see and let me know what you feel about it.




So here's presenting ................

Because we are KHAS and our blogs are KHAS too...hence the name "Blog-E-Khas" . Unlike the other usual awards , these are a bit hatke. Normally in awards the categories are first decided and then the nominees are decided from which the finally the winners are decided.

But as these awards are KHAS and HATKE, I selected the winners first :) Yes I made a list of top 10 blogs which I came across and loved in this one year. Then I decided upon that one word which describes their blog perfectly as per Me. And then lastly I found some relevant pictures and created the award categories.
I know its kind of ajeeb but I like is that way - ajeeb different that the rest.

So I dedicate today's evening to all those lovely bloggers who have taught me a lot through their blogs in the last one year.

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
