    @Viswamitra @iyerviji
    My dear Viswa
    Thanks a ton for your nomination of @Nuzhath 's Washing Dishes By Hand - Travails And Musings
    Thank you viji for seconding it.
    This is indeed a delightful thread rendered in flawless language. Listen to this.
    That would make even the grouchy Walter Matthau to smile! I smiled too. She reminds me of the likes of Manjureddy of yore whom we miss so badly.
    A great post. I looked at her profile. She has written only 15 posts in six years! Why are you not writing more often Nuzhath? I look forward to more posts from you Nuzhath. Please!
    Sri

    @iyerviji
    My dear Viji
    Thank for your nomination of @jayasala42 's Untouched Panchangam
    When I saw the title of the blog, I thought it was going to be another breezy chapter from jayasala's memoirs but I felt very depressed going through it. I did not want to give a Like for this sordid story. Over 200000 people have died of Corona and yet reading jayasala's narration, we conclude that this is not the right time to die.
    For a person who had never gone to a Doctor for eight decades, this is a very sad end.
    The gripping narrative style of jayasala is nothing new to us. We have read so many of them from her in the past.

    @Viswamitra
    My dear Viswa
    Thanks a lot for your nomination of @HariLakhera 's Smile A While-concluding Part
    It is yet another sparkling piece of writing from Hariji. But then what else can you expect from him? Viswa, you have labelled it a fiction. Since it appeared in Snippet (Non-Fiction), I took it as a real life episode and told myself gleefully that IL now had a Nobel Laureate too!

    Dear Viji @iyerviji,

    Thank you for your nominating my thread. I never consider my writing worthy of a nomination but still you have gone ahead. No words to express my happiness.

    @iyerviji
    My dear Viji
    Thank you for your nomination of @Agatha83 's Hand Pump - Memories Black And White
    I do not know if you have read Alex Haley's Roots. Alex Haley grows up hearing stories from his grandmother about the family's history and he goes about tracing his ancestry. If a similar task is undertaken about Agatha, we may end up establishing some connection between her and RK Narayan! The writing style of both is strikingly similar.
    @Srama tells Agatha 'You are such an awesome writer - love reading you!' and I endorse it in a decibel greater than the Big bang!
