Dear Safa mol, Mohana, Vidya, Preethi,

thank you so much for your words of appreciation - surely makes me feel good.


Love,

Dear Deepav, Sankasailaja, rajmiarun, leelal, varloo, kanakanswamy, vivbass, SI gayatri

After the hectic festive days, only today I had time to finish reading all your entries. It was wonderful going thru your entries. I felt all of us, kind of, had the same approach but we all differed in the execution and had our own distinct style. I got a chance to pick up some good ideas after reading your entries & I would like to thank you guys for the same. In a way, we are all winners just by sharing our thoughts with each other. It was fun all the way competing with all of you PLUS a lot of learning. I think it's the small little things that made the big difference.

anyway, it was great time contesting & thank you again for sharing all your wonderful ideas.

Love & regards,

Dear Sharada, Meena and Varloo,

Hearty Congrats for winning the contest!!. After reading all your entries, started missing the great dinner party!!.

Thinking of why not host a small version of it in Chennai, INdia for Pongal with varieties of Pongals...:)-

It has been a wonderful opportunity for sharing our thoughts.
Kudos to IL team andcontinue the spirit in future.

Kamala and few ILs have written very good remarks on all entries. That shows up the nice gesture of appreciations for the good. Once again, Thank You team for the encouragement.!!

Wishing the Indus Ladies a Very Happy Pongal & MakaraShankaranti!!!

Dear Members,

We sent a 'Indian Folk Dance' painting wall hanging to the winner 'Saradha' for the 'Dinner for Americans contest'.

This painting is 100% block hand painting on fabric and it depicts the traditional 'tandia' dance. See the picture below.

Due to unforeseen logistic issues, we were not able to send the originally posted handcrafted shikari wooden flower vase. Instead we shipped out this painting wall hanging.

Sharada, hope you liked this gift. Congratulations, once again.

Dear Induslady,

Now that's what I call a 'beautiful' painting!!!!

Congrats Saradha!! I am sure the Americans you invite over for dinner would appreciate the work and culture depicted on this fabric! Looking at it, I feel like dancing on some dandiya tunes myself!

I join Shal in my appreciation. A good selection and will liven up any part of the house.

L, Kamla
