Best poster of the (June) Month! Though we thought this award would be won by one of smart lady @ IndusLadies, suprisingly it goes to the ONLY male member of our site! I'm sure many of you would have guessed it right... Yeah - it is - Mr. Varalotti (Sridhar) The award goes to the thread "The Scar - A Short Story by Varalotti Rengaswamy" he posted on June 15, 2005. This thread had the maximum of 138 views and 4 replies (excluding Varalotti's own responses in the thread!) as on June 30th, 2005. C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S Mr. Varalotti, you will soon receive your S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E Gift via mail! Interesting facts we noticed while choosing the winning thread: 1. "Anniyan yeppo release" thread in the Cinema section started by Akila on 11th May has the maximum views so far in the site - 365 views as of July 12th, 2005. Note: This did not qualify for this contest because it was started prior to June 1st. 2. "Reduce weight around thighs" thread in the Keeping Fit and Maintaining Shape section was the second best thread with maximum views started in June - 121 views as of June 30th, 2005! Looks like lots of ladies are conscious about maintaing their shape
Congratulations! Hello Varalotti, "Congratulations" on being awarded as the best poster of June month. Do post about the surprise gift on receiving it I did read your story 'Scar'. It was a touching one. I also enjoyed some of the snippets you had posted. Thanks.
Congrats!!!!! Hi Varalotti Congrats on winning, you really deserve it.:clap Do tell us about the surprise gift when you get it. Kind regards, Sharika8)
Thanks A Ton, Dear Friends! Dear Induslady, Asirabanu, Sharika, Nirupama thanks for the congratulatory message. It was because you people were sensitive and all of you liked a good, old fashioned story packed with self-less love, that I got the prize. Your continuously reading my stories and replying my thread to me is a more precious gift which I shall always cherish. love, sridhar varalotti
Thanks A Lot, Indusladies, I received 2 surprise gifts! Dear Indusladies Team, Thanks a ton for sending me two surprise gifts - one more than what was promised. One was an exquisite ceramic diya set with Lord Ganesha's image printed on the inside (5 nos) The other was a penholder which resembles the face of a woman. My daughter loves these gifts. And the woman-form pen-holder seems to be the most appropriate gift from an all-women site to its only male member. As my mind is filled with feelings of gratitude let me wish Indusladies and all the smart ladies who are part of it, a great success in all their endeavours. My dream for Indusladies is that it should grow from just a website into a powerful women's movement. And when it so grows I will be happy, that like the squirrel which helped Rama build the bridge to Srilanka I too had a role to play in building a bridge of love across the Globe uniting all well-meaning women. All the best, sridhar varalotti
