Dear Sujatha &Rama (teacher) My hearty congratulations to both of you for having been declared this month's winners in the Finest Post Contest. It is nice to see young writers like you adding sheen to the literary content of the community. I hope this will inspire other writers of IL to take the business of writing more seriously. It is also nice to see that Kamla and SS waste no time in spotting the gems of IL. It would not be possible but for the fact that IL's discerning readers leave no threads unread and nominate the best of what they read. The two esteemed judges Kamla and SS immediately make a beeline to the nominated threads and select the best of them as winners. From the quality of the nominated threads, I can see how difficult their job of judging could be. Those who get nominated but do not get declared as winners need not despair. If Kamla visits your threads and comments, that is more than winning the Contest. Sri
Dear esteemed Cheeniya sir, It is always a pleasure to see you visit this forum and you do so without fail at the beginning of Every month to congratulate the winners. Shows your commitment to writing and encouraging the budding talents of IL. I have a lot to learn from you.:bowdown As to your below comment about me, I cringe! That is too much of importance given to my poor little self. There are many stalwarts in this forum who are eloquent and discerning and generous with their feedbacks to posts they read and I barely manage to read a select few. All the same, I would be lying if I do not admit to being flattered and thank you for your kindness. L, Kamla
Hello Sujathaumakanth, Great to hear about the inborn talent in your daughter Madhu and her writing skills. Please do encourage and nurture her talent which am sure you would be taking up as writing skills run in your family. Madhu's poem for her cousin was so touching and yes the clarity with which she wrote ending with the optimism of fun time together was all awesome. Congratulations on your winning Post, guess Madhu contributed to this victory.

Thank you so much Sri Uncle, I still remember your encouraging words on the first day of entry into IL The acceptance and accolades that I get from this forum does a lot to one's psyche and I am grateful for it. Dear Kamla Mam I totally agree with Sri Uncle with his praise for your comments - believe me I have proudly displayed what you wrote about my narration on facebook........not everyone has the grace to praise someone so selflessly and I know your words go beyond the duties and responsibilities of a moderator's Hence my utmost thanks to your gracious words that encourages all the writers out here. Thank you, Sujatha
Dear Laxmi Mam, My daughter has a few words to say here: "thank you for this present. you are so kind." She was very excited when she read your post and especially delighted to see the lovely picture. She also wanted to know if she keeps writing poems whether she will keep receiving these gifts ) There is nothing like the lure of a carrot to nurture a talent I guess !!! Once again I thank all the readers for their support and encouragement. My daughter extends her thanks as well. Thank you so much I will indeed post an Indian mail address to you soon. Regards Sujatha
