Finest Post Nominations - June 2021

@Mistt @jayasala42
Thank you for your nomination of Gangajal - Or, One Day In The Life Of An Unknown Indian by @ojaantrik
OJ is back here at my insistence with a blog that is, as late Kamalji would say, only OJ can write. There was a time when I would stand in front of Goddess Saraswathi and pray fervently to make me write like OJ. That was one of my prayers that the goddess threw instantly into the bin! So OJ continues to occupy his exalted position and I stopped writing! Good decision, you know!
This one is as 'unputdownable' as all his earlier posts were. (Thank you jayasala madam for that colourful word!)

 

@SuiDhaaga
Thank yor your nomination of a response by @Anusha2917 in the thread Is This A Sign - Two Pigeons Outside My Windowsill Doing "honeymoon"
Pigeons are a menace! More than anything , I hate the noise they make and their unscrupulous mating games. Even such celebrated ornithologists as Salim Ali would have refrained from watching them!

That's a great observation by Anitha!

 

@Tamrakshar
Thank you for your nomination of Enduring Flame by @SuiDhaaga
This poem reminds me of the kind that W H Auden spins out from his magical imagery. A short and sweet effort from Sui.

That sums up her creative mind!

 

@Mistt
Thank you for your nomination of the response of @Laks09 in the thread How Can My Asperger Friend Stop Spoiling Her Friendships

@Mistt @Viswamitra
Thank you for your nomination of @Anusha2917 in the thread Venting Out Feeling Very Low
I have been a member here for a long time. What I love about this community is the undercurrent of love and concern that each one has for others. There may be meaningless skirmishes caused by a few BUT BY AND LARGE IT IS THE GOODWILL THAT FILLS MY HEART.
Anusha's response here is one such instance of sharing of concern. I have no doubt that her response will mean a lot to the OP.
