Finest Posts - January 2015 Nominations

Dear friends,

I have the special pleasure of opening the Nomination thread for the Brand New Year of 2015! Welcome to January 2015 friends!

We are stepping into the 15th year of what we celebrated as the New Millennium not so long ago...Or, so I thought. But it has been fifteen long and wonderful years into the new millennium! A millennium that brought us into Two Thousands, a millennium when most of us stepped into the era of computers. Talking of my generation, we may have heard about computers before, some of our children were getting introduced to it. We even bought them the first of the video games-- most of you still may remember 'Atari'?!! At least, my generation had nothing to do with all this while we were still at schools and colleges. But then, we too grew into the millennium. Computers occupied a pride of place in our homes along with our TV and video recorder sets. Who knew that it would slowly replace them one by one! Agree, we do have TVs, but we can do without it for our computers can easily provide all the entertainment. Moreover, it can even replace our books. This is the era of Kindle after all! Talking about Kindle and books, we have enough material to read...yes,..on our computers! Who but we at Good to Read forum of Indusladies online portal are the happening and rocking proof of it all!

So friends, here we are stepping into January 2015. Finest Posts has kept our interest engaged for quite a few years now. It is up to all of us to keep it swinging for many more years to come! After all, computers may come and go, but we the people will be the masterminds behind it all! Our minds will be always ticking and working and writing and composing! As long as we do that, we will be reading and appreciating. What we appreciate, we nominate to FP!

Fear not friends, we are here to stay! Some months may be slow and others may be full of hustle and bustle! Here's to wishing that January will be a busy month for writers, nominators and for FP team 'ers' !!

Happy New Year to all of you! May 2015 keep all of you in good Health and Prosperity!

Keep Nominating!!

Your FP Team

Dear Vijima,

That's what we call 'with a bang'! >>> I meant your presence here, your words and your very first nomination to kick start the New Year!

Everything is going like a clockwork in my opinion. Great response to the new start and what's more, by our 'First' lady Vijima. It would not have felt the same if you did not make the start with your auspicious nomination! So all is well and all is as it should be!

Thank you for appreciating words. That keeps me going and motivated.

As for Sabitha's(Srama)http://www.indusladies.com/forums/snippets-of-life-non-fiction/265619-so-much-love-to-give.html, a very befitting nomination especially as the first post for the new year. Starting with love, let us hope the love is the dominating factor of the year not only in FP and IL, but in the world over all. We need it and how!

Thanks for coming and hope to see you regularly.

Wish you and your's the Very Best for 2015 from me and also from Cheeniya sir!

My dear Saby,

So happy to see your post being nominated as the first one in the new year by our 'First' lady of IL!

Also, thank you for much for the lovely words. As I sat down to pen words for this new thread for the new year, I had to think of what binds me with all these lovely people in IL. How did I get to know some lovely friends at this stage of my life? I had to thank the computer and our technology! No other way!

However, all this is possible only because of the love that we share together be it for the computers, the written word or a common thread of emotion that binds all of us!

Your http://www.indusladies.com/forums/snippets-of-life-non-fiction/265619-so-much-love-to-give.html also talks about the same thing! Only, it does so in Srama's way and thought!

Happy New Year to you and your lovely family!

Aaaawwww dear dear Cheeniya sir!

You are back! All is well and things are how it should be with you adding the rainbow to the FP's new nomination thread!

Sir, me your Guru? There is a limit to pulling my leg!! If at all, it is you who has enriched not just my world but the world of many of our IL members! All of us wait with abated breath as to what's next from the magic box of the wordsmith Cheeniya! My amazement at your vast knowledge of the world and especially about books and literature not just in English, but Tamil, Sanskrit and more is unending. I have learnt a lot from you and you have made me think and ponder about subjects and aspects that I would otherwise have never paid attention to!

However, this may sound like "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your's"!! It was not meant to be so. This is my open admiration and I had to say it at least once before this year ends! ( I will come back again next year with new words, God wiling!!).

Thanks for the appreciation.
