Dear Friends, I have received the laptop which IL had announced in this contest winner thread. It's such a lovely one and am very happy to receive it. Thanks a million IL, for the wonderful and memorable gift. IL has given such a special gift which is going to be indispensible part of my life. I take this opportunity to thank those who had been instrumental behind this gift. Malathy, I owe you a big thanks first for selecting me the lucky winner and second for all the effort you had taken to ensure the laptop reaches chennai in time. My sincere thanks to Malathy's dad, who had the generosity to carry the laptop from US to Chennai for someone whom he has not even seen. My hearfelt thanks to laxmi for arranging the laptop to be delivered to me through my mom. I am happy to have made another good friend in you and am looking forward for this friendship to grow in the coming days with you. I missed to see you this time. But am really look forward to meet you during my next visit to India. And mom, thanks for collecting the laptop for me. As I was not in chennai until very recently , I had requested induslady and laxmi to allow my mom to pick the laptop on my behalf and they graciously agreed. So one fine afternoon last month (18-Feb), laxmi and my mom (whose also an ILite) arranged to meet in Saravana Bhavan T.Nagar for lunch, where they met and laxmi handed over the laptop to my mom (this nice moment was captured). Though it was their first meeting laxmi and my mom vibed very well with each other and they never felt as though it is their first meet. It was a nice meet which am sure my mom would remember for more time. I think this is the speciality of ILites, they have the grace to mingle well with anyone at their first meet. Today I met my mom and collected the laptop from her. It was a moment of unexplainable joy. A joy which has been possible only because of IL. I write this with conviction that my next browsing on IL is going to be with this new Dell Laptop. I am looking forward to more of happy browsing moments with IL's beautiful gift. Thanks IL once again....You always rock !!! Photo 1 : laxmi (chudi) & my mom (saree) during their meet. Photo 2 : Preethi with IL's Gift - laptop
