What makes a post the Finest Post?? Time and again, we have said that we do not go by the number of views, replies or even nominations. The search is not for a popular post, the quest is for the Finest Post. One that carries a message, one that involves the IL community, one that keeps humankind in perspective. A post that leaves us feeling better, more empowered, and more determined. And in that genre, we are immensely happy to declare the Finest post of Aprl 2008:

To understand a woman better.....your help needed!

You can read this @ To understand a woman better.....your help needed!

Here is the special gift for this Finest Post of April!
It is a hand painted, hand crafted "Wildflower" Salt & Pepper Shaker Set from Hawaii.




Congrats, Vanaja!

You have posted a genuine winner here.


And in announcing the winner of the FP contest, we have to name another equally important winner member who was the first to nominate the winning post.


Congrats, Vase!

It takes a lot of appreciation and awareness to spot a winner post and you have been the first to do so!


There are many, many reasons why we have deemed this the Finest Post of April. For starters, this question is one that is most topical, most gender oriented and most innovative. And above that, this post is not merely one where we read, appreciate, post our admiration and move on.

Vanaja has asked for a discourse, a debate on the dilemmas and difficulties of women today; and then the role of the media in shaping the learning and awareness of women. We all live in an Information Age dominated and manipulated by the media. While on one side we have a positive influence like a cyber support group like Indusladies, on the other we have degenerative soap operas that show life in its worst moral squalor. And in such a world, it is very crucial that women as mothers and individuals learn to identify what they need to learn from the media. To say that this could lead to cyber lobbying for better media culture is not far fetched.

And here, we congratulate Vanaja and all other ILites who have participated in this instructive thread and offered their valuable opinions and suggestions. The choice between family and career, stereotyping of women's careers, the options available in raising children as valuable citizens in a difficult world, the necessity for financial independence, the conflict between caring for parents and in-laws, the plight of economically weak women in handling drunken husbands and family finances, tensions of career women, matriarchal societie, female infanticide------ the problems identified by our erudite members are legion.

And in the type of learning that women need from the media- our ILites have again zeroed in on excellent lessons. Business advice which encompasses financial management lessons to streamline the finances of the family and business, legal help to take care of familial, dowry, sex harassment and other disturbances, awareness about Self help groups, time management, career management with work at home info, diverse needs from media for rural and urban women, emphasis on familial and community unity, health education, the throw of power words like 'pottai'---- again these are some of the issues that our women want the media to address.

This post is longer than usual since we wanted to highlight the finer points of the discussion that ensued following Vanaja's question. Let us a responsible parents, professionals and persons read through this entire thread patiently and diligently to make our lives better.

Congrats! again, Vananja!! We are truly happy about the Finest Post of April 2008.

regards
Vidya and Kamla
Hi Vanaja
Congrats
