It is my habit like most people to have a small snack in the evening, after coming back from the office. I have anything from Juicy fruits to Junk food. So on one evening this is the conversation I had with my wife to try and get some Junk food as snack.
Me: Honey, Can I have some snack to eat?
Wife: Sure, How about an Orange?
Me: No, Do you have anything else?
Wife: Sure, I have another Orange!
And that’s how I ate another Orange!
The Orange was juicy fresh and delicious. Do you know what else is? an Award from a fellow blogger friend. Few good words from someone who interacts with you in the blogosphere – Brillante Weblog, is definitely a Juicy fresh and delicious experience. Apar at Headtrip, a lovely and expressive writer, has awarded me with the Brillante Weblog award and I am very much excited about that. Thank you, Apar! It means a lot to me coming from you. I am not sure if I am worthy of the award but it encourages me to write even more. I would also like to take this chance to thank all my readers who have been giving great comments on the posts that I have made. Readers and awards such as this are the lifeline of blogs. Thank you so much for being a part of 18,000 RPM.
Now, I will be the good samaritan and distribute this award to some of the best bloggers I have known.
Anshul at Brainstuck – His cartoons are simple, effective, zen like, funny and thought provoking. I wake up to a daily dose of his cartoons almost everyday. (i.e., if he blogs daily and if I am conscious at 7AM daily).
Maxdavinci at Dappan Koothu – This man is innovative in his blog posts. He talks to Gods via Baba Bangali and questions them like Karan Thapar. He watches every Bollywood movie and alerts the entire human race to avoid the bad ones. I mean he is practically a messenger of Human Rights!
Shivya at The Shooting star – She is a delightful writer of her life experiences, from bungee jumping to F1. I can proudly say that I know someone who has seen the First ever Singapore Formula 1 grand prix under flood lights.
Sriniani – He is a very informative blogger and one of the first few who appreciated my efforts here. I just wish he blogs more often than he does, but he deserves the award for the way he brings out rare contents even if it is less frequent.
Twisted DNA – This man brings out the normal life around us in a very hilarious way. His replies to comments are very interesting and funny, and will make you revisit his blog just for that. I liked that so much, I am replying the same way to the comments in my blog. Beware of stomach cramps due to extreme hilarity.
As I always say, all the folks on my blogroll deserve an award for their brilliance and they are there in my blogroll just for that reason. Keep up the great work folks.
Let the spirit of blogging live for ever.

Oranges are good, although I hate them
They are good killers of diseases and if they are in your fridge, they are killers of your chance of eating junk food.

Thank you for the honor:)
LOL@ your having to eat an orange. I am sure next time she will have some steamed broccoli in preparation for your question “What else is there”

Welcome to my blog, dude!
Thank you for the honor
You deserved it for entertaining us for so long.
I am sure next time she will have some steamed broccoli in preparation for your question “What else is there”
I love Broccoli. However, I wouldn’t like to eat it when I am asking “What else is there!”. I need to hide it!

HahaHA! Guess this onez not a imaginary conversation
Me: No, Do you have anything else?
Wife: Sure, I have another Orange! —- Brilliant

Rahul
Guess this onez not a imaginary conversation
Wife asking you to eat healthy food is never an imaginary conversation. An imaginary conversation would be your wife asking you to eat Cake, Chocolates, Ice creams, chips, popcorn, you get the idea.
