Dear All
Sorry for this bunched up responses to the nominated posts!
@iyerviji's Nominations:

To Find Solace! Seconded by @Thyagaran
A heart-wrenching post by @girvani When my mother passed away, I was in late sixties but I was crying like a child near her frail body. @Thyagarajan has quoted a stirring song in praise of a mother. Nothing needs to be added to that!

All Written Words Have A Message Worth Preserving. by @HariLakhera
Slipping on a banana peel is usually a laughable accident. I have seen people uncontrollably laughing on witnessing a banana peel accident. But when it ends up in a gruesome tragedy as narrated by Hariji.

Brother Has No Boundaries by @senorita2019
As I was wondering what kind f response I should give this nomination, guess who came to my rescue. It was @Rihana herself. I saw her response to this thread and mentally said, I agree in toto with you Rihana.
The concluding words "We cannot make someone want something they don't want." just about fit in like a glove with what I had in mind myself!

A Date With Vinayak Aka Ganesha by @Thyagarajan
Thyagu has a writing-style that is very endearing and that comes out alive no matter what he writes about. Vinayak aka ganesha bears his unmistakable imprint

Ganesha The Destroyer Of Hurdles by @sln
The beauty of sln's writing is his choice of words to convey his thoughts. That is what experience is all about!

A To Z Ganesha by @RatnaMalliswari
A nice poem by Ratna. This poem of hers makes Ganesha a lot closer to our heart! I tried to see if I could substitute any alphabet with a better word but I failed!

Emotional Feels -a Sea Of Change by @Thyagarajan

Viswa calls it a poetic snippet and I am fascinated by the choice of his words! The beauty of this snippet of Thyagu is that he does not lament about the effect of old age but merely states as a fact of life. Being well past 80, I fully endorse his narration!

@Viswamitra 's Nominations

Of Elephant Bondage by @sln

Dear Viswa
Your response to sln"s thread is itself an eloquent summary of why you are nominating this thread.
This is indeed an interesting summary of elephants and the concluding lines make us feel heavy in the heart. In India, they are run over by speeding trains, killed by electric fences and poachers. We just fail to understand that all creatures have as much right to occupy this planet as humans have.

My Experiences With Cats: Part 1 by @Tamrakshar

The undercurrent of humor in Tamrakshar's narrative is quite palpable and so it will be in all topics of cats! I recall 'Tobermory' , a story of a cat by that name by Saki (H H Munro). The plot concerns Tobermory, who, at a country house party, is taught by one of the guests how to talk. He converses in a tone of feline superciliousness with the hosts and guests, alarming them with his knowledge of their secrets and his indiscretion in reporting the conversations he has overheard! I do hope Tamrakshar will continue with his feline stories!

Nomination by @joylokhi

I Feel Lost In This Home Response by @Laks09

I have always had great admiration for the constructive way in which she looks at problems, domestic or otherwise, and gives her well-balanced solutions. The present one is no exception. I will only quote her concluding sentences:
"It’s sad that in this day and age women are having to go through this. The only way out is for us to stay strong and show our resilience. That’s going to help us in the long run."

Nomination by @Thyagarajan

Accelerated Math..my Child Didn’t Get Into It by @anika987

This thread and the responses thereto are yet another instance of how cohesive this community is. Members show their readiness to help when someone is in doubt.

Creative Solutions To Complicated Problems by @sln

Yet another post that makes @sln an asset to this community. When children get into some accidental problem, the young parents usually panic more than the child! That makes them run to the most expensive hospitals for a remedy. The greedy hospitals always suggest the most expensive line of treatment! Cases like what sln Sir has presented here must reach young mothers in this community.

Another Kind Of Marriage by @RatnaMalliswari

An interesting snippet by Ratna. We see weddings of all kinds these days. We read about weddings of opulent extravagance of Ambanis. We see weddings deep under a sea. We see weddings in a flying aircraft. But when we read about simple marriages like the one Ratna has mentioned, we feel quite warm. A god post

They Are Unemployed -are They? by @sln

Another interesting collection of cases to highlight his views by @sln. He has a keen eye for interesting aspects of life around him and he has a very unique way of sharing them with us. This is an interesting collection of people who are lucratively unemployed!

I Feel Lost In This Home Response by @joylokhi

@joylokhi , you have gone up in my estimation with this response of yours! The Wheel of Time rolls on without a stop and that exposes us to different facets of life. It will be only prudent to maintain a passive attitude towards those changing situations. That will make us highly respectable.
