This is my first nomination for this August month.
got tears after reading this post..
today when I was doing varalakshmi pooja with cassette, I remembered my mother, she used to chant the mantras for this pooja in my childhood and I used to sit next to her following her instructions in doing pooja, her voice, sound echoed in my ears and got tears.. mom.. I miss you. Amma,Where are you?

Dear SS and Kamla,
Here I come with 2 of my nominations:
1) Twinsmom's tribute to her fil. She has a way with language and the words that she uses. I was crying all through the post.
2) Infinitehopes' post on domestic violence. Its a thought provoking question and I guess its the need of the hour too.
Best regards,
Hema
