Words are a pretext said Jalal Udin Rumi! It’s inner bonds that draws one person to another, not words! Sometimes we don’t have the words but we know deep within us who we are and what we expect. I think @SuiDhaaga’s self introspection is an apt summary of all that and more! My third nomination is SD’s poem I Am Not This But I Am That Very soon, I won’t need to quote the Rumis or Jordans. I’m going to have a lot of our own poets and their words!! Beautiful poem from a beautiful soul.
Thank you for the nomination of the post by @Hopikrishnan, Viji meri jaan. Love Marriage Vs Arranged Marriage.. Another lovely starter post in that thread, followed by your beautifully innocent reply that so many Liked, then the delightful exchange between you and Hopi. In the post that you have nominated, Hopi has solid advice that can apply to many situations - if you like something, take time to comment on why you like it, and how much.
Thank you Laks for nominating the poem I Am Not This But I Am That by @SuiDhaaga Three times I read the poem and started to write a thought here, and stopped midway as more examples of "... Not This But ... That" kept coming to mind. I will simply borrow a line from your nomination: Beautiful poem from a beautiful soul. Your threads often get interesting responses from members, @SuiDhaaga , but your poems are taking it to another dimension altogether. Nice.
@Rihana I am here to nominate @Gauri03's response to @Laks09 Half The Year Is Behind Us, Any Fitness Related Observations?. This is not the first time Gauri impressed me with her profound statement and certainly it is not going to be the last. Her determination not to give up like a race, focus on routine exercise regiments with same passion as she has in her profession, and enough perseverance as if someone is evaluating her, are all outstanding characteristics I have mentally noted! I will definitely go back to her write up her again and again to learn and practice values in anything I would like to pursue. I repeat my request to her to write more and more here in IL (despite limited time in her hand) for the benefit of all of us. Viswa
Hey Rihana, Checking in after quite some. It is so wonderful to see you here!!! Heartiest welcome. Looking forward to reading your posts announcing winners here! Fabulous announcement!
Thank you for both the nomination and the kind words Viswa! Not sure the post merits either but I am grateful. : )
