Finest Posts - March 2017 Nominations

Dear IL Members,

I can’t believe a whole month disappeared so quickly. Even though February is 2-3 days less than a normal month, it feels like it got over even faster! Let me take this opportunity to thank those who heeded to my request by increasing the number of nominations towards the end of the month. March is the third month of the year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. In the Northern Hemisphere, the meteorological beginning of spring occurs today. The March equinox on the 20th and 21st marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.


In Mexico, they celebrate Noche De Brujas on first Friday of March. If witches and wizards have a spiritual home it may well be the Mexican town of Catemaco, a pretty place on the shore of Laguna Catemaco considered the center of Mexico’s witchcraft and witch-doctor industry. The most boisterous of Hindu festivals, Holi waves goodbye to winter and welcomes in spring in a rainbow of colors. Five days around March 17th is the celebration of St Patrick’s festival in Dublin, Ireland. Wherever in the world there is a Plastic Paddy, there is a St Patrick’s Day festival with green beer, blarney and craic. Be prepared to wear green to work on that day. Crucifixion Re-Enactment happens in Barangay San Pedro Cutud, San Fernando, Philippines on Good Friday. If you thought Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ was uncomfortably graphic, spend a passionate Good Friday in the Luzon city of San Fernando and you will think it was The Sound of Music.

Let me end my musings here with my favorite request. Please nominate when you find a very interesting thread in IL no matter where it is located. Please make sure you link the thread properly so that many ILites can read and enjoy. If you have doubts, please read the instructions below. Please note that FP section is frequently visited by ILites and your nomination would help others to read the thread you enjoyed the most.

Dear Vijiakka,

Thank you for nominating the post of @Agatha83's thread Harmonica With No Harmony. As she keeps writing more and more threads, we come to know more about her extraordinary skills. She is a great writer, a patient daughter taking good care of her mother, a great observer of the ordinary beings doing extraordinary things, music lover and many more.

The children who are given the motivation to do something do extraordinary things and unfortunately, the time when we all grew up, we didn't have that kind of motivation that present generation of children get from their parents. Her thread recalls her memories of what she missed due to lack of motivation. Who know what each one of us are destined to do? Did you ever dream until a few years back, you would be producing so many necklaces? May be Agatha will be doing something soon that she never thought she had an inclination.

I have already responded to her thread.

@LakshmiKMBhat

Thank you for nominating Rajeni's thread A Family Of Friends!!. This thread has already been nominated in February by @Amica, @Balajee and @stayblessed. Since this thread has not won the FP last month, it is still eligible to be nominated this month as well.

As I have mentioned earlier, in the world where own brothers and sisters don't get along well, this kind of relationships makes us feel that humanity still exists. Even after a small difference that prevailed over many years, the affection these two families had embedded in their system is remarkable. These two families are example for others how to build relationships.
