Varalotti confesses that "I was not as creative as the gracious ladies of IndusLadies in choosing a title. I drain all my creativity in building up the story and just choose any random word that comes to my mind as the title".

Special Thanks once again to all those who sent in their entries.
Good luck to WIN in the future contests to come.

Congratulations ,Prathi,well done!!

Cheers

Dear Prathi,
You have chosen a very apt title for Sridhar's story - both the words fall in place so very well. You are as creative as Sridhar, dear Prathi !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Thanks all,

I never thought i could do this. Though i sent in couple more titles, the first one that got to my mind was this. I thought, infact that sridhar would laugh at my entries!!!

Thanks sunitha for you wishes.

Mrs.Chithra, thanks for the love you showered through kind words.

Thanks sridhar for a touching story!!

Accept my hearty congratulations, Prathi. You very well deserve the prize as your title is very suggestive and creative to the point of being poetic. I am even thinking of hiring you as my 'Titles Consultant' for I am not very good at giving titles. I drain my creativity in the story that when it comes to titles I just sign off with whatever comes to my mind. For example the title I had originally given to this story in Tamil was "Appearances" (Thotrangal).
Well done, Prathi.
sridhar

That was a nice title and you deserve the prize. Do let us know when you get it.
Keep it up!
Sharada

Sharada, Thanks for you wishes and motivating words. Coming from an ace writer like you, it is flattering. I shall surely share here when i receive my prize.

Thanks Vidya, for your wishes.

Love and regards,

Prathi
