    @Rihana
    Dear Rihana
    Thanks a lot for your nomination of @Viswamitra 's Transition

    I cannot express my feelings about this post better than the following lines of yours:

    "Informative post. Sensitive handling of a delicate topic. I liked the straightforward presentation of fact, feelings and thoughts. Reader can take away from it so much and as little as they want to. Many are sure to file away points from the snippet for future rumination.

    I am glad Viswa wrote this snippet and share his experience with us. Would nominate more posts of his from the thread if not for saving spots to nominate posts by others. Hope to read more about his experiences on this noble and inspiring effort"
    When a lejend reviews another legend, my work becomes so much easier!

    Dear @Cheeniya Sir,
    I am a huge fan of geets @GeetaKashyap’s works...
    There is nothing that she has left untouched.
    Drawing, sketching, cooking, photography, writing, narration and all these rightly explains why she has become a hall of fame member in just a year...
    Wishing our dear geets many years of wonderful stay in IL to enlighten, inspire and nurture souls like me....

    @nandinimithun @shravs3
    Dear nandini and shravs
    Thanks a lot for your nomination of @Rihana 's Sambhar Uninterrupted
    I belong to a particular community in Tamilnadu for whom Sambar is the staple diet. We start our lunch with Sambar rice and end it with curd rice. Though I am a great lover of Sambar, I wouldn't be able to write about it as eloquently as Rihana has done. There is a Tamil Movie in which Kamal Hassan makes Sambar Those of you who can follow Tamil will enjoy it!
    That's a great prologue for an epic subject!

    @stayblessed @nandinimithun

    Thank you both for your nomination of @rgsrinivasan 's poem Wall!
    There are very few people who can excell both in prose and poetry. I envy RGS for this singular capacity of his. When I read his poems, I am reminded of WH Auden who excelled in abstratism.
    Read this bit from his poem 'On the Circuit':
    'And daily, seven days a week,
    Before a local sense has jelled,
    From talking-site to talking-site
    Am jet-or-prop-propelled'

    I am not a poet but I know quite a few who are/were. I have observed that they all have a far different vision as compared to prosaic guys like me. When I read their poems, I just sigh and feel jealous. As I am doing just now after reading RGS's poem.
    Sri

    @Cheeniya sir

    My second nomination is @Rihana 's Sambhar Uninterrupted

    I enjoyed this lighthearted snippet.
    Another good write up that is a true "snippet of life".

    Next time we all have/make sambhar we will relish it even better because so much goes into that dish.

    Cheeniya Sir,

    This comment of yours has so much of wisdom in it. Thanks for all your kind words. This poem was spontaneous though these thoughts have been going on and on in my mind for a while now.
