Finest Posts- August 2014 Nominations

The Sun has started on its Southern Voyage. We call it Dakshinayan and according to our vedic belief, it heralds the beginning of the night of the gods. As the Sun hurtles towards its Southern destination at an incredible speed of 108000kmph, the entire six month period of its Southern journey will be filled with a series of festivities to which all of us, irrespective of age and sex, will be eagerly looking forward. Induslady will be announcing exciting contests covering the entire gamut of the festivities like Kolam competition, Kolu competition, and best recipe for Navarathri, Diwali and what have you!

In my hyper excitement, let me not forget to tell you the purpose of my being here! Yes. August is round the corner and it is time to invite fresh nominations for the month of August. As the parched earth cools down from the bounty from the sky, there is love in the air. The poets get active as the Bard says,
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.

There will be no dearth of good stuff to nominate and why should there be a dearth of nominators? I call upon all of them, old and new alike, to get active! Apart from the awesome regulars who get nominated here, there are so many budding writers who dish out excellent fare week after week. They need to be brought under limelight here. Only you can do it! We look forward to your four nominations for the month. Trigger off a literary tsunami and we are ready and willing to be swept off our feet by it!

My dear Quebec
You may be evil personified but your intentions have always been noble! Or else you would not be nominating powerpuffgal's http://www.indusladies.com/forums/singles-world/257504-have-you-ever-faced-abuse.html While voicing your concern about the world getting sicker by the minute, you have also exhorted them to get well soon!

Obnoxious calls were such common things in my early days until the Telephone department introduced the Caller ID scheme. This scared away most of the weak-kneed perverts for fear of landing behind the bars but the hardened ones continued doing it from public phones where there was hardly any chance for them to get caught. But with more and more news coming in about how Police laid traps to catch these perverts, this obnoxious calling has virtually come to a nought. So I thought until I read this surprising post by powepuffgal!

The right way to deal with that kind of nuisance is to bring the matter into open without any delay and make the people who matter in your lives become aware of the harassment you are facing. More than anything else, this will establish our credentials. In the instance quoted by powerpuffgal, this is what happened. A timely warning for all!

My dear Srama
Knowing you as I do, I am not surprised by your nomination of JustMyself's http://www.indusladies.com/forums/s...s-kindness-butterfly-effects.html#post3340452
Acts of kindness, whether they are random or regular, will certainly bring in their rewards but the beauty of it is that the people who are kind never expect anything in return. In that context, this title of Butterfly Effect is very apt. The flapping of the wings of a butterfly causing a storm at a distant future due to its cumulative effect may not be what the butterfly bargains for and yet the good that ensues benefits the whole humanity. I have come across old people in trying circumstances who keep lamenting that they have done so many acts of kindness but they got nothing in return! They forget that their acts of kindness may have benefited a lot of unknown faces as in the Butterfly Act. It is for them to derive satisfaction from such a thought.

An old friend of mine once told me that he spent a major portion of his life working for the welfare of his children and now that he has become old and infirm, his children have started working for the welfare of their children! The Butterfly Effect!
