    In continuation with our 10th Anniversary Celebrations, let's turn the spotlight on our Good to Read forum :)

    Good to Read is an amazing platform to showcase your creative writing skills and to share your love for books. Snippets of Life can easily surprise you with the many different perspectives towards life. Stories and Poetries can glue you to your seat for hours. And the Book Lovers sub forum is always a happening and thriving place to discuss any book.


    The growth of this forum is attributed to all the members who chose IL as a platform to share their literary creations. And it is also because of the wonderful feedback and insight provided by the great minds of IL.

    The wealth of Stories, Poetries and Snippets that you find in the Good to Read forum is never ending. It is like a library that magnetically pulls you in and makes time stand still. Whatever it is that you enjoy reading, you will find it here :)

    And in this 10th year, it would be great if you can share your favorite contribution from the treasury of Good to Read forum. Just post the link and let us know why you liked it.

    Let me start with a few of them today

    Here are my list

    @rgsrinivasan I cannot give you just one or 2 contributions of his. Becoz each poem he writes is just awesome and with full of meaning into it for our day to day life.
    His snippets what can one say all of them are excellent let it be related to his kid or anything that is related to life. If I will go on giving you the list of his work is never ending.

    @Kamalji I know at present he has stopped writing for IL. We do miss him here, he always share with us our daily news along with his views and not less to mention his jokes:) Yes sometime he goes off the shore which is annoying to some members. But if we truly think over it, he speaks practical.

    @Viswamitra I do remember when he had entered into snippet 1st thing I asked him was if he was some swamiji :biggrin2: sorry for that. But today his contributions is one of the best let it be on his pet, or some teachings in life. The best ones that I liked of his are
    Is there life after delivery?

    Potholes on the retirement road

    Women's Self Confidence & Welfare Mindset

    Are we destined to do certain actions

    It is very difficult to choose from the list.

    @meenasankaran I know she hardly comes now a days but whenever she enters into snippets she just takes the stage fully for herself. All members run to her posts like bees
    :biggrin2: becoz her posts are full of fun and enjoyment.
    Some of her contributions --
    A Desi Mom!

    Are your children cherished?

    What did Humpty Dumpty have that I don't?

    Another member where it is difficult to select which one is the best.

    @mithila kannan Yes I know she is no more with us, but I feel this is the right time to remember this wonderful soul and the lovely contribution that she has made for us all here. Each and every thread had a lesson to teach today's generation and many more to come. Among all the wonderful one is the one she shared is MY Dairy and this is the link.
    My Diary

    My Diary-2

    My Diary-3

    My Diary-4 etc etc......


    Ok I am coming back with some more in my next post.

    I know I have not mentioned the new writers here I am extermly sorry. It is not that you don't write good. You all are excellent writers, but I wanted to bring forward our old contributors.

    Hello
    I am back with some of the names of story contributors who has made the members get glued to they stories.

    @Angellic who have written many stories but among them I like "The Journey of Love."

    @lovelyme for her story "Oh! Those Blue eyes"

    @sapthu02 for "Buried memories"

    @iniyamalar for her contribution "Beautiful Corpse" , "The Children" and "The White light calling"

    @Catgol for her "Ghosts of the Royal family" her latest one I am yet to read.

    The Book lover's forum is what lured me to IndusLadies. It has fueled my reading habit. I have found a good book and many friends to read it with.

    Here are some contributors who have enlivened this forum.

    @helpmeangel- a team player. A book club, a contest or any discussion we can count on HMA to support us. Catch her action at our last contest - The 2015 IL Book Lovers Readathon Contest.

    @chillbreeze, her enthusiasm is infectious. The go to gal for all your chick lit cravings. Check her out at- CB loves Chick Lits

    @mohur and her respository of book reviews - Book Reviews by Mohur

    Tucked away within the Book lovers forum is the sub forum Books & Authors in Regional Languages and @deepthiraj with her thread- Tamil Novel Updates, is not to be missed if you like reading Tamil books.

    There are many more contributors, @jingi92 @madhuprabha and some others before my time here at IndusLaies. I have missed out your names, please forgive my ignorance.

    This is one of my favorite forums and the first forum I check every day. The one member who stands out in snippets section is @Viswamitra. Vishwa sir, I know I don't always reply or like your post but that's because often I am at a loss of words after reading your eloquent snippets.

    His posts show his sense of spirituality, philosophy, humility, love and compassion towards nature and fellow living beings and I marvel at his vast knowledge. And he doesn't fail to give credit to others and appreciate them when its due, as it is clear in this thread. I wish like him, each one of us realize how our spouse plays an important role in our family life and appreciate them for their efforts.

    @Hrastro, we don't often see you in the book lovers forum. But with this one post you have made a lot of us realize the wealth of our literature, think and introspect about its values. Hoping to interact with you more in the book lovers forum.

    @Helpmeangel is the star of the book lovers forum. She is an enthusiastic reader and her speed of reading and analysis of each book/character is amazing. This is my favorite post of hers where she lists her favorite characters.
