A Trio of Nominations
I’ve been nominated, by three different Bloggers, for a trio of Blog Awards.
Liebster Award by Vinnieh of Vinnieh on 20th May 2015
(A superb film blogger, and one of the earliest bloggers to locate my blog)
Dragon’s Loyalty Award by Reut Ziri of Sweet Archive on 29th May 2015
(A music and cinema blogger, whose blog I stumbled upon quite recently)
Beautiful Blog Award by Jonathan & Aaron Ferrara of Husband & Husband on 4th June 2015
(A couple of published authors, who also happen to be a lovely young married couple as well)
So thank you Vinnieh, Reut, Jonathan & Aaron for considering me worthy of the recognition you’ve awarded me, or rather, and especially, my Blog. And am truly sorry for the delay.
This is my 2nd Liebster Award (different logo though) and Dragon Loyalty Award (see my previous Blog Awards), and my very 1st Beautiful Blog Award.
So here’s the usual drill (as many of you, my fellow bloggers, would already know)
*Thank the people who nominated me, and add the pictures of the awards above. (DONE)
*Answer the eight questions prepared by Vinnieh, for me, for the Liebster Award
Vinnieh’s Q1. What made you decide to start writing a blog?
Nuwan Sen’s A1. I needed a platform, to place my film critiques, without anyone ruining my articles. So that I can publish them, in their original state, as written by me.
VQ2. A night out with friends or a movie night in?
NSA2. A night out with friends, watching a movie on the Big Screen; and then discussing and analysing it at length. But haven’t done that for ages.
VQ3. Buffy or Charmed?
NSA3. Neither
VQ4. What is favourite item of clothing?
NSA4. Straight/tight fit, Blue Jeans, that have never gone out of style since the 1800’s (for casual wear), with a loose simple T-shirt, or tucked in fitting shirt. Formal wear: I love the Indian Kurta, combined with the western formal trouser, with dress socks & sleek shoes.
VQ5. Who is your favourite actress if you had to choose just one?
NSA5. Audrey Hepburn, Of Course!!!!!
VQ6. How do you follow news around the world?
NSA6. On the net, television news, and foreign newspapers and magazines, when available.
VQ7. What is the most disturbing film you have ever seen?
NSA7. Rosemary’s Baby (1968) I think. It’s an excellent psychological horror movie, by veteran film director, Roman Polanski. I highly recommend it.
VQ8. Are you get up and go person or someone who needs to be motivated?
NSA8. Get up and go person (in the rest of the world) & someone who needs to be motivated (in lazy lethargic lanka).
(DONE)
*List 7 Random thing about myself for the Dragon Loyalty and Beautiful Blog, Awards
About Me
1. The best thing that happened to my life is Gingerella (a.k.a. Gingy). She’s my little pet (literally), a puppy I adopted on the 7th of December, 2014, exactly half a year ago, today (See & follow her Facebook Page, Gingerella Sen, if you are a dog/animal lover).

Last Night: Gingerella (a.k.a. Gingy) enjoying some of my Audrey Hepburn films, from my collection.
In my Room – On my Bed
2. I have never been on a date, till date. Been out with friends, both male and female, on a one on one basis (lunch/dinner/movie/other outings), but never on a date.
3. I believe in Equal Rights. Am a Gentleman to a Lady, and a bitch to bitch. Well actually I tend to have a lot of patience, but there is always a limit to everything and anything.
4. I practice my own version of the cliché, “Forgive & Forget ”. I prefer to forgive, and forget they ever existed.
5. I wish no one any harm. About people that make me unhappy, I wish them all the best, but hope that they just stay the fuck away from my life.
6. I love the city and country of my birth (New Delhi, India); but dislike the country of my unfortunate roots (Sri Lanka), that has given me nothing but misery (and where I happen to live now, unfortunately).
7. Paris is the most beautiful concrete jungle, I have ever lived in, till date.
8. I have lived in six countries, in three continents. I consider myself international, a citizen of the world, going beyond borders. I belong to any country, that accepts me as one of their own.

You have lived on THREE continents? You ARE a citizen of the world! I agree with you about Paris, although I have never lived there. I did visit several years ago and thought it was wonderful.
Thank you very much the nomination! I will give some thought to your excellent questions.
Yes! I just love Paris. Aesthetically, architecturally, and in every other way possible, it the most beautiful city in the world.
I think it’s most probably called the ‘City of Love’, ’cause you fall in love with the city itself.
And you are very welcome. You, and your blog, no doubt deserved all three nominations.

Congrats on the many awards. Very well deserved. How would you answer your own question 7 btw?
Thank you!!!
No.7 – As a child – Audrey Hepburn (The Actress), and As a teenager/and now as an Adult – Audrey Hepburn (The Philanthropist/The Humanitarian/The modern-day saint, the elegant fashionista, the kind personality and the actress, as well, of course!) 🙂
I liked your post on Angelina Jolie too 🙂
Another philanthropist/humanitarian, and a brilliant actress.
Jolie is, no doubt, 21st century’s answer to Audrey Hepburn.
