My dear Anna and Kamla You both are like stars shining in the sky I start my New Year with special people like you Wish you and everyone in IL a very Happy New year May God bless everyone and fulfill their wishes in 2014 My first Nomination for January 2014 is Anukarsha'shttp://www.indusladies.com/forums/working-women/150434-success-mantra-for-working-women-5.html. I do not know whether this thread was nominated earlier. Her success Mantras willbe very useful for working women. Since I have also worked for 38 years can understand how difficult it is to manage work and home especially after marriage
Dear Cheeniya Sir and Kamla, Here is Satchi's soul searching question http://www.indusladies.com/forums/s...mpowrment-illiteracy-vulnerability-think.html. I feel every man and woman should read this post to understand the social evil that was happening for years. It is difficult to understand the root cause of that problem as there are so many hidden facts in these situations. However, there is a change needed and unless someone writes about it boldly like Satchi, who can bell the cat? Viswa
Dear Kamla and Cheeniya sir, Wishing both of you and everyone here a very festive season and a Happy New Year.
Dear Kamla ma'am, This is a reply to the post addressed to me in the Dec thread. Its closed now,so can't reply there. I just wanted to thank you for your lovely words..made my day! I cannot write that well,so the least I can do is appreciate and encourage those who do! HAVE A GREAT 2014 !
Dear Vijima, Thank you for your lovely compliments. Such words are truly encouraging. All the same, let me remind you that you are the Polar star on our IL sky!! Thank you for making the auspicious opening of this new thread for the new year! I am now convinced that FP is going to swing in this new year too with your first post!! Thanks for nominating Anukarsha's popular thread, old is indeed gold By refreshing it, you have helped to bring it to the attention of those who may have missed it. L, Kamla
Dear Viswamitra, Nice to see your nomination following close after Vijima's. Noting that the nomination is for a post by Satchitananda makes me even more happy! Satchi is a favorite of many and I always enjoy everything that she writes. That her post is in the first nomination list of the new year is truly befitting! I am yet to read this snippet and going by your words I am sure she is at her informative best! Thanks for this nomination. L, Kamla
Dear Racr, It will be correct to say that you have made my day with this! You are under estimating yourself! I am sure you will be able to write as well as any here! Just try!, l, Kamla
Having waited so long for the low down, how can I haul my po off this forum without bringing a po-fully hilarious description of our friend Po-Jda about his arrival in Po-land to the notice of all our friends here? [h=2]oj in po-land -- Prologue[/h]
