I was in Galibore, a fishing camp on the River Cauvery spotting the Flycatchers – Verditer, Tickells Blue and the Paradise flycatcher yesterday when I got a couple of congratulatory tweets from friends.Thanks Ramaswamy.

I realized that Backpacker has emerged as winner in Indibloggies 2008 in the travel category.Ugich Konitari also dropped a congratulatory comment on my post . Thanks UK and wish you the same for having won as well.

Its a great surprise and I am really happy. I thank every one of you for your support and votes.I know a few individuals who have voted for me, but a lot of you are out there . There were quite a few good travel blogs that were nominated and some of them are owned by friends of mine and I think they are great blogs as well.

Thank you for making backpacker win !
