Finest Posts - September 2008 Nominations

Dear friends,

As the month of September sits around the corner these words from the song "Come September" by Natalie Imbruglia ring in my ears -

"She will run
She's gonna drink the sun
Shining just for you
Instead of everyone
And so it goes..
...........
Come September

Everything wrong
Gonna be all right
Come September
She's made her mark"

So let us start shining and making our mark here with the opening of nominations for FP for the month of Sept 2008. Come one and Come all. Bring your favorite posts here and let us all enjoy reading them together!

The rules remain the same as those for the last month.
Each member is allowed to nominate upto 4 posts Only. This ensures that each of us have a hand in deciding the winning post as we will filter our choice more closely, thus making the winner more significant.

Secondly, the nominations will be closed on the 26th of every month. Simultaneously, the nomination thread for the following month will be opened. This will avoid the heartburn that the moderators experience at the very last minute of every month!!

And please do not forget to add the link for your nomination. You can read about how to add a link here -
How do I add a "Link" in my message?


Look forward to an outpour of nominations as always!
Luv,
Kamla and SS

PS : Just in case you folks were wondering why your favorite Kamla is not writing here anymore , she is very much a part of the FP but is on vacation at present.

Dear Kamla and Soaring Spirit,

I have been wanting to open the FP Account for so many months.Got the opportunity only now.

I am pleased to nominate Vidya Arun's reply to A LOVE STORY 7 to be considered the Finest Post of September 2007.

While doing so, my dear FP Mods, I am also aware that what I am doing is not fully ethical for there are instances in her post where she appreciates my writing. So it may not be right on my part to nominate her post.

But she has written so very well that I had to bend myself a little to nominate this post.

Here's the link to her post
A LOVE STORY - Episode 7

Thank You.

Dear Varalotti Sir,

Thank you for the auspicious opening of the Sep FP nominations by nominating Viidya Arun's reply to your story "A LOVE STORY 7".

One great writer nominating another wonderful writer! What more can the readers ask for?

I know that Vidya Arun is a writer who holds our attention right until the end because of her expressive narrative and her enviable choice of words.

By nominating her reply you have done nothing unethical Sir. Instead you have done what is perfectly justified for a writing such as her's. It deserves to be here!

Thank you once again for bringing it here. I have been missing umpteen gems here at IL due to lack of time. So when something comes to the FP it makes me find the time to read it. So thanks to you Sir, I will be enjoying reading a great story and a wonderful reply to it.

to the thread "If everyone is so good, who is not?"

Thanks

My dear Sridhar(or should i say my dear Kumar),

What more can i ask for..Its a moment of joy when my heartfelt feedback for ALS7 made its way to FP and that too nominated by the creator.

I am not sure what/how i can reciprocate the love bestowed upon me.

Thanks Sridhar for taking up the time to nominate inspite of your busy schedule..

Love
Vidya

Dearmost SS

Reading your reply is like taking one big gulp of 'chocolate complan(Vishal's favourite drink)'..It just reenergizes oneself..I am obliged and feel wholly satisfied when my writings are liked by wondrous writers like you..Thanks for such nice and encouraging words..

Love
Vidya

Dear AC,

You are a superb person when it comes to having an eye for the new gems on IL. I guess it comes to you naturally because, a) you are a super writer yourself and b), you are a super human being who is very encouraging and welcoming to new comers here. I can vouch for it because I have experienced your warm welcome when I first came to IL in Oct 2007.

Thanks for nominating Ansuya's warm post "Iowa? What's that?" I read it as soon as you nominated it and felt like I should move to Iowa, even if temporarily! Ansuya wrote it so warmly that she made the place so much endearing to even the people who have never been there.

Thanks fro bringing it here AC.

Luv,
SS

I would like to nominate Sundurusha'a short story

Thank You.

Thank you, SoaringSpirit, for the kind words about my post. Just a word, of advice, if you're planning on visiting us here in Iowa, you'd better come quick - if last winter's anything to go by, we're going to be completely submerged in snow in a few short months! But as I wrote in my post, the warm people in Iowa more than make up for the cold winters.

You're right about AC's gracious welcoming of newcomers like me. It was heartening for me, on just starting out here on IndusLadies, to be acknowledged in this way. Thanks to all for the hospitality.
