He told me that this blog has won the award in the category of 'Best South/South East Asian blog'.
Frankly, I thought I had little chance. I am thankful to all of you, friends and co-bloggers, who have written mails to me, congratulated and also voted for this blog.
Over the last couple of years I spent time, lot of time and energy on this blog even when I was occupied elsewhere. Hundreds of posts, lot of friends in blogosphere and the intense discussions in comments.

Feels good. The awards site website mentions, 'The Islamsphere is truly a global phenomenon. In Iraq, despite the chaos and uncertainty, there is a sea change of free speech and expression, the vanguard of which are blogs"
"....There are also bloggers in India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Jordan, and most other countries that host Muslims, all of whom have their own perspectives on faith, culture, and politics."
Earlier, in the year 2006 too, this blog--indscribe's blog [also termed An Indian Muslim Blog] was listed among top five blogs in the category of Asian and Middle Eastern blogs. And it was given an 'honorable mention'.
