🌻 Sunshine Blogger Award (Nomination)
.
Sometimes recognition doesn’t arrive with noise.
It comes quietly…
like a soft pause in the middle of everything. ✨
.
I was recently nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award,
and for a moment, I didn’t know how to react.
.
Not because it’s big…
but because it felt personal.
Like something that wasn’t just seen,
but actually felt.

💛 Thank You
.
A heartfelt thank you to Apitivi for this nomination.
.
In a space where so many voices exist,
being read is one thing…
but being felt — that’s different.
.
And this felt like that.
So thank you for noticing, for pausing,
and for finding NihshabdBlog worth sharing. 🌸

🌸 Answers
1. What is your favorite phone make and model?
A: iPhone.
Not for the hype… just for how quietly it fits into my life.
.
No noise, no showing off — just there, doing its job.
A lot like the kind of people I feel comfortable around.
.
Most of my thoughts live in my Notes app…
half-written lines, things I didn’t say, things I felt too much.
Funny how a small screen ends up knowing you better than most people.
.
2. Do you prefer minimalism when it comes to designs in general?
A: Yes, always.
I think I’ve grown out of “too much.”
.
I like things that don’t try to impress me.
They just… sit there, quietly, and still make sense.
.
Minimalism feels like peace.
Like when nothing is forced, nothing is extra —
and somehow, that’s exactly enough.
.
3. Why did you start blogging?
A: Because I was tired of explaining myself.
.
Writing doesn’t interrupt you.
It doesn’t ask you to simplify what you feel.
.
You just put it out there…
and whoever connects, connects.
And honestly, that kind of understanding —
without explanation — feels rare.
.
4. What is your favorite store (tech, gadgets, etc.)?
A: I don’t have a favorite store.
I have favorite moments.
.
Sometimes I buy things I don’t need,
just because they felt right in that moment.
.
Later, they don’t matter as much…
but that small feeling?
That quiet “this makes me happy” —
I think that’s what I really go looking for.
.
5. Are you tech-savvy or not?
A: Not really.
I just learn what I need to, when I need to.
.
I’m more busy trying to understand people…
and honestly, that’s already a full-time challenge.
.
Phones come with updates.
People come with layers.
And I’m still figuring those out.
.
6. What is the thing that you’re most proud of?
A: That I didn’t lose my softness.
.
Life had enough chances to make me distant…
but I didn’t let it.
.
I still feel deeply,
still care more than I should sometimes,
still write things I could’ve kept inside.
.
Maybe it’s not practical…
but it’s still me.
.
7. What’s your opinion about artificial intelligence (AI)?
A: It’s impressive, really.
Sometimes a little too perfect.
.
It knows what to say, how to say it…
but it doesn’t hesitate before saying it.
.
And I think that pause matters.
That moment where you sit with a feeling
before turning it into words —
that’s something you can’t automate.
.
8. What do you think about social media?
A: It’s confusing, honestly.
.
Everyone is visible,
but not everyone feels real.
.
Sometimes it’s inspiring,
sometimes it feels like everyone is just performing.
.
But then you find something honest…
a line, a thought, a feeling —
and suddenly, it all feels a little less fake.
.
9. Have you heard of e-sports or gaming?
A: Yes.
People are out there winning games, leveling up.
.
And I’m here…
trying to win against my own thoughts.
.
Some days I feel like I’ve got it.
Other days, same thoughts — new round.
.
No scoreboard…
but the game still matters.
.
10. What was your graduation year (college or school)?
A: I remember the year…
but I remember that version of me more.
.
A little simpler, a little lighter,
and not overthinking everything.
.
Now I understand more…
but I also carry more.
.
I guess growing up is just
trading ease for awareness.
.
11. Do you prefer electronic shopping or physical shopping?
A: Online shopping.
It just feels easier… calmer.
.
No crowds, no pressure,
no one trying to convince me to buy something I don’t need.
.
Just me, my phone, and my very questionable cart choices 😄
And honestly…
half the joy is waiting for that package to arrive —
like a small surprise you gave yourself.
.
🌼 My Nominees
.
Passing this forward, quietly… to a few voices that stayed with me:
1. Her Daily Doses
2. My Awesome Blog
3. Panaecea
4. She Rose Anyway
5. Chitrangada writes
..
I’ve chosen these voices because Nihshabd has always been a space dedicated to women — their thoughts, their strength, and the stories they carry. Supporting them, in my own small way, just feels natural. 💛
.
❓ My Questions for You
.
1. What is something small that makes you unexpectedly happy?
2. Do you write more from feeling or from thought?
3. What does silence mean to you?
4. A song you never skip — and why?
5. What is something you’ve outgrown but still carry within you?
6. Do you believe being “soft” is a strength?
7. What inspires you to keep creating?
8. Are you more of a listener or a speaker?
9. What is one feeling you find hard to explain?
10. What makes something feel real to you?
11. If your blog had a mood, what would it feel like?
.
✨ Ending
.
Sunshine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes… it’s quiet, soft, almost unnoticed..
.
And maybe that’s the kind that stays longer. 🌻

Rajeshwari ji, 🌹🙏
This piece is not merely a set of answers it feels like a quiet dialogue with the self, where every line gently settles into the heart and leaves behind a subtle resonance.
The simplicity and honesty with which you have expressed your thoughts is truly rare. There is no pretence, no attempt to impress just a deep sincerity that invites the reader to pause… and truly feel.
“being felt that’s different”
This is not just a line, but the very essence of your writing. In fact, it beautifully defines your voice as a writer.
Your softness, your ‘nihshabd’ presence this is your greatest strength. In a world where words often turn into noise, your writing feels like a quiet light… slowly, gently illuminating the soul.
Heartfelt congratulations on the Sunshine Blogger Award
You truly are that “quiet sunshine” spreading warmth and light without ever needing to be loud.
May your sensitivity and expression continue to touch countless hearts in the same profound way. 🙏
Thank you so much Vijay ji for such deeply touching and thoughtful words… 🌹🙏
