Awards & Accolades: Part 2

Dear Friends,


The much awaited ?!!!!!! Part 2 of Awards & Accolades that some of you must be eagerly waiting for is being unfolded to you now.

This series, as mentioned earlier, is a small attempt towards appreciation and recognition from our part to acknowledge the valuable contributions that our ILites are sharing with us.
We have seen here, many real life experiences and lots of threads / posts wherefrom we gathered many learning points, the strengths and weaknesses in life, humor, poetic expressions, pet life, medical, family counseling, the art of cooking, spiritual realization, games & puzzles, chat rooms, etc. You name it & its there here in IL.

The list is exhaustive and we are sure not to have captured each one of the valuable contributors.

Readers of this thread are welcome to add on to this list and are most awaited as well.

Thanks to all ILites for contributing valuable inputs to Part 1 & we are pleased to have included the Titles chosen by you.

1. The IL Community Service Award goes to Shanthi Vyas

Be it helping someone find a good school for their little ones, or finding a good house to buy or rent or purchase a land, or lend sound advice to moms and dads on how to find the best help for their children she is there with all enthusiasm... I would like to add an award to our own Shanthi Vyas.

2. The IL Meet Up Queen Award goes to Lalitha Shivaguru

This award is in the IL meet up world. I know there maybe a tie but since we have given our chithumma an award already, would like to award our dear Lalitha Shivaguru.

3. The IL Award for the Most Outstanding Contributions goes to Cheeniya Sir

He is the most versatile writer this site has probably seen. His language, classy wit and humour are inimitable and he has more than 150 posts to his credit in this site alone. This is a legacy that he chooses to leave for us. If only he chose to publish his posts as short stories we could all boast of having a celebrity in our midst. But what is most endearing about this person is his simplicity and low profile. No guesses here. I am quite happy that you missed him out and hence gave me the opportunity to bestow upon our one and only dearest Cheeniya Sir, this IL award. An award, probably, inadequate for the great person that he is.

4. The IL Award IL’s Spiritual Guide goes to Pushpavalli Srinivasan

She calls herself the senior most member of IL in age but her avatar shows her relentlessly typing away at the keyboard. I am awfully impressed with her knowledge on many subjects, broadmindedness, cute sense of humour (though she denies it saying I am the only one to have thought so) and her repeated efforts to bring to the youngsters here, true life stories of our great saints.

5. The Award IL’s Renaissance Man goes to Ojantrik – Oj-Da

He comes and goes out of IL with charming regularity, but his love (and hopefully our love for him) for this site keeps bringing him back. A man of varied experiences and interests, a singular command of the English knowledge should get him this award.
