Dear Lotus, Good to see you again. Thanks for two striking nominations. Two absolutely different genre of posts, but two that touch you. One touches the heart in emotions, the other touches the heart in fear. Just venting--- is just perfect. Kamla is a painter when it comes to words and emotions and this piece is a practical, pragmatical situation etched in poetry. The Dark night by Malspie is another gripping piece, it keeps the reader thinking one step ahead of what she is reading. Thanks again,Lotus.Be back with more. regards Vidya

Dear Jaishree9, Good to see your post here. It is a pleasure to see your posts being nominated and to read them. Your article on Navratri made the shortlist of October and was a very popular choice. In the Lone Survivor, you have combines so many thoughts and themes. As you say, I am sure the thought of a nomination never crossed your mind. It is when you write so freely, that it becomes a master piece like Lone Survivor. Please visit us again with a nomination. regards Vidya
Dear Chithra ji/Chithra Mam/ or simply Chithra Thanks for such a positive review of my two replies/posts. I am indeed humbled to know that you have nominated them for FPs for Dec. All I can say is a BIG THANK YOU! I think you are being VERY generous in your positive words for my posts. In the short time that I have been here and an even shorter time that I get to visit this forum, I have seen such wonderful thinkers and writers. I really wish I can spend more time than I am afforded right now, in reading these wonderful posts and applying some of these pearls of wisdom to my life. Thanks so much once again. I take this as a huge honor. SS
