Thank you firends for the words of encouragement and your warm wishes. Thanks a lot!!

Hello all,

The title of the story has been changed to the most suitable and the winning one given by Prathi...

The Bosom Friend.

Take a look at the story here with Prathi's title.

Please find the pictures of the gift given to Prathi's winning title she had suggested for Varalotti's story - The Bosom Friend.

The gift is a - Pen Stand with Gemstone Painted Pictures of different Maidens on all 4 sides

About Gemstone Paintings - This is an art from Rajasthan in India. The gemstone painting is made up of real authentic precious and semi-precious stones like Agate, Amethyst, Blood-stone, Citrine, Carnelian, Crystal, Garnet, Jade, Jasper, Lapis-lazuli, Malachite, Peridot, Tiger, Tourmaline etc., which are selected, grinded and finally adorned in glass by skilled and experienced craftsmen. This process is entirely done by hand and there is no machinery used. The glass with gemstones is then affixed in variety of different products viz. Diaries, Jewelry boxes, coasters, key holders and more to give them a unique artistic touch which gives them a beautiful, traditional and rich look.

Accept my hearty congratulations, Prathi, for getting the apt gift for an apt title. As the title was itself feminine and womanly, being surrounded by beautiful maidens, and that too in a box you keep your writing instruments, is an appropriate gift. Added to that today is the international women's day. So enjoy, Prathi.
On this occasion I pray the presiding deity of our place, Madurai Meenakshi, to shower her choicest blessings on you and the members of your family, so as to be blessed with a life full of happiness, peace, health and prosperity.
all the best.
regards,
sridhar

Thanks meenu and sridhar for ur wishes.

Sridhar, thanks for your prayers with madurai meenakshi. You sounded like my father, who is a staunch devotee of Anjaneya and always tells jai bajarangabali and gives his friends the archane kumkuma.
