Hey everyone. Starting a new week with a new set of links for you to read up on. This is actually the second link round up I am having on Balkhis. I missed last week because since this is not my usual thing and it is new. I kinda forgot about it. Than I decided not to ruin the tradition, so I didn’t do it any other day. Well lets take a look at how the past week was.

After seeing this on multiple blogs and having it recommended by many other friend bloggers, I am going to adapt to Link Roundup and experiment this. I am calling this even Sweet Monday Link Roundup and the posts displayed will be from my favorite blogs, blogs that I read alot.

Kicking of the first link roundup is
