Finest Posts - November 2011 Nominations

Dear Kamala and SS

I am hear to nominate the first post of this month which I read just now early in the morning. It is none other than our Srama's post http://www.indusladies.com/forums/snippets-of-life-non-fiction/150019-it-is-that-time-year.html

Have a wonderful November

 

Dear Kaml/SS,
I nominate this thread by Lalitha Sathish who is behind the unique idea of celebrating Kannada Rajyotsava through IL though I am very far from Karnataka I am thrilled celebrating it in IL n the effort she has put in to bring the facts can be realised only in the thread....

Thank You

 

Hi Kamla,
I'd like to nominate Kamalji's post It Took Ten Years for this month's FP. This post narrates incidents of simple people displaying the ever-dwindling characteristics of Dharma. The post serves as an inspiration to all of us that there are still a few good souls on Earth and that all is not lost in this KaliYug. As the Tamil poet Avvayar says "Thollulagil nallar oruvar ularel avar poruttu ellarkkum peiyyum mazhai" [If there is one good person on this planet, then the skies will open and shower rain on Earth just due to that one good person.]

 

Dear Kamla and SS,

I would like to draw your attention to these two threads in the "health, Diet and fitness" forum. In the war against weight, two ILites are doing a commendable job of steering and encouraging ILites in their own way. If Sabari (upfsabari) is encouraging and nudging ILites to wake up a little early to squeeze that "me" time, Pavithra (ptamil2007) is offering the variety they need to keep up and do something meaningful with that "me time". What a wonderful combination of threads to have going side by side at the same time . Though I have not participated in either of them, I know and believe in both the ideas - of waking up early and to change that exercise routine to keep us engaged and focused. So I bring these two threads for nomination this month-

Just readng the title of these threads are inspiration enough for me, I can only imagine what it is doing to the participants! I wish I could nominate in two seperate months, but I find them go so much hand in hand that I could not refrain from nominating both of them together.

 

Dear Kottravai,

Thank u so much, i am honoured.

Thanks a ton.

Dear Kamla:

Have you read KKrish's Brain Freeze? If you haven't, you have wasted your life so far. And if you rush right off and read it right away, your life will be an epitome of fulfillment irrespective of what you have done so far.

KKrish has produced a piece of magic and I have already commented on it. She has produced beauty out of pain. She has transformed struggle into a blooming flower. This post is enormously mature, it is profoundly honest, it is a writer's ultimate homage to the art of writing. She speaks of Thyagaraja's decision not to compose a Bhairavi because it was too beautiful and he was unable to beautify beauty. The Bhairavi-s she has in mind are other snippets in the Forum. How great her modesty!! And I was reminded of another great artist, Tagore as I read her. Please check my fb at her post (probably the first one) to find out what brought Tagore to my mind.

I hope her post makes it to the top position. If it does, I can't tell you how happy I shall be. By telling us she doesn't know what to write, she has taught us (or at least me) what writing is all about. It is the way she said it that made me feel that I have finally found what I thought I never would find.

In case I haven't clarified myself enough, this is my nomination for best post for November.

Love.
