odzer's blog

Thank you Kanagu for giving me the versatile blogger award. You really do spoil me. I would also like to pass this award along to Priyank for starting to be more versatile, Vikram for sometimes moving away from the academics and Hedonist for being everything from a skilled south Indian cook, purveyor of ‘interesting objects’ and provider of humour. I would like to take this opportunity to write a bit about blogging in general. I have been a bit quiet in the last few days well mainly because of a lot of work. Recently rolling remarked “somehow I love your cooking posts better than the rest.” I guess perhaps I am not a very versatile blogger but then I really do not have any agenda when it comes to writing this blog. As a writer usually people tell me what they want me to write about and I get paid in return. When I started this blog the idea was that I would write something about what really mattered to me. So perhaps food is really what I do care about the most. So the comments of rolling — they hold ground.

I have read a lot of posts as I have written some. I noticed that a lot of my blogger friends write a lot about their surroundings and the issues that they feel strongly about. It is nice to see such a caring and social side of the internet. However it tells very little about who they really are. While a lot of time people ask me what my ‘real’ name is or ‘which religion I belong to’ or sometimes quite directly ‘who are you’  I feel I have here a very personal blog. A blog that really does say who I am. Someone who basically is living the best he can in the circumstances that surround him.

I am not really going to be very wordy because some of my friends accuse me of being that! I will make it short and sweet. It is best to live your own life, spend some time that you have and do everything you want to do then try to make a difference. In some ways being your own person is one of the biggest contributions that we can make to our world. If everyone just did that the world would be a much ‘friendier’ place. So does anyone still want to know who am I
I am Odzer.

The Garland Award

I have received the garland blog award. The year has not even started and here I am being awarded and all. Thank you Kanagu. Well like I mentioned before when he had awarded me with the butterfly award. Awards are always great to get. So here I am all in humble acceptance.I am going to keep this award and cherish it. So I am not passing it along to anyone at this time. The reason is that I have already just given a round earlier and I would like to read some more blogs before I pass it along.
