Dear ILites,

The time has come to announce the best entry for the month of July 2008.

This month we received 4 entries – from Geevein, SupriyaDinesh, Sundarusha, and VidyaArun. All of the entries were well written and a pleasure to read. So kudos to all of you!!

It is a difficult task to choose just one writeup as the winner when all the others are very good too. However my fellow judge and I were unanimous in our choice as the #1 entry of the month.

And the winner for the month of July is…….

Vidya Arun!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Vidya for a truly excellent narrative that led us through an interesting journey through Lisbon, Portugal. It was very easy to read and held our interest through every word and every line…

The other noteworthy entries were by Sundarusha and Geevein.

Sundarusha wrote about her vacation to Switzerland which was very engrossing to read while Geevein’s entry was the most creative of all – a trip to Mars!!

We congratulate all the winners and thanks to all of you for participating.

I'm attaching the winning entry by VidyaArun here along with the other commendable entries.

Love,
Aarushi (on behalf of IndusLadies).
