Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? Another award?!? And not just one… but two?

Big thanks to:

THEBURNTMAP for the

and

barexbones for the

Now on to the boring stuff.

7 Things about me:

1. I love all things Amsterdam… obvious from previous postings, right?

2. Born and raised in the US but I identify myself as Indian… thanks Mom and Dad!

3. I love ginger! Ginger ale, ginger candy, sliced fresh ginger… I guess that’s the Indian in me again.

4. People get this idea that I’m high maintenance – but I swear I’m not!

5. Hoping to get more travel in soon… Singapore, India(!), Montreal and anywhere in Europe!

6. I love to watch sports – especially fútbol and football!

7. I’m a classically trained Indian dancer (Bharatanatyam, for those of you in the know)… two knee surgeries later and I’m still truckin’!

And with that, I would like to give the following blogs with the same awards.

• Beautiful monochromatic images that changes how I view everyday things at The Photodiarist.
• Maren Vik’s photos always bring a smile to my face.  
• A day doesn’t go by without checking Colossal.
• Simply Breakfast makes me hungry… and not just at breakfast time. 
• My inspiration for food photography – The Food Club. 
• I wish I could draw and paint like ieatcoffee.
• Wish my home interior was as beautiful as those found in French by Design.

Entering Amsterdam through the beautiful Centraal Station…

devouring every dessert my stomach can hold at Unlimited Delicious in the Jordaan…

shopping (window shopping, really) at Amsterdam’s largest department store – De Bijenkorf…

observing the stylish women of Amsterdam on bike after bike after bike… (they’re so well put together!)

riding the tram through the city (how I miss the sound of their bells!)

…sigh. Until we meet again, Amsterdam.

Please check out my other Amsterdam photos:

Find yourself a city to live in… Amsterdam.

People watching.
