Finest Post Nominations - October 2018

The rain in Spain may stay mainly in the plain but in India it batters everything in sight! The hills of Kerala and the lofty mountains of the Himalayas have been targeted mercilessly. October is the time, the people in the East start looking at the sky for traces of clouds that may wet them and keep them alive. At the time of writing this, I see tiny clouds wafting aimlessly across the sky.Let alone rain, they don’t even provide shade to cool our hills! I sit in the cozy comfort of my room listening to Rain

As I am typing this, I recall that rain was not the purpose of writing this. I squeeze my shrunken brain trying to recall the purpose of my writing about all this and it comes in a flash! Am I not supposed to ring in October and invite the ILites to nominate their favourite posts for the Best Post Awards? Oh, come on then! What is holding you now that the gates have been thrown open?

I know you will be all busy gearing up for the festival season and I know you will make your nominations colorful. I look forward to those nominations pouring in like the rain that battered India. Get going then!

My dear Viji
Thank you for your nomination of @Laks09 's High School Woes
It has been over four decades since I brought up my children. The role is reversed now and they are bringing me up now! Talking of bringing up children, I cannot but recall how my dad did it . His favourite disciplining tool used to be a desperate effort at wrenching my ears off their moorings. My shrill screaming would scare him off his adventure! When I brought up my daughters four decades ago, the ear-wrenching was out of fashion. I would scold them as donkeys and monkeys without realizing that it would make me one too, they being my progenies. Nothing has undergone as much change as bringing up children. The less I talk about it, the better!
By the way, I see that Viswa has been named as a responded but he has not said anything on it so far. I would very much like to hear a male response to the subject
