Dear Ms.Nalini Venkatesh

Submitted by Lata on Tue, 11/10/2009 - 09:02
Nice to hear from you. :) The following message has to do with your comment that you left here ( http://www.ikolam.com/node/7190 ) regarding me not leaving a comment for your rangoli. There might be a few more members who might feel that way. Sorry for not getting to it on time. I'll try to catch up. :) Usually I don't like to bore our members about my personal life, but I do make an exception now and then. :) My family has been hit by the flu bug for the past 10 days, and we are still not completely better yet. I know that I have not commented on many of our participants' entries, but I do plan to do so in the next few days, if I had not commented already. It is impossible for me not to "feel" any appreciation when I check on this site, and unfortunately, I've not been so active in it in the past 10 days. I just dropped off my kids in school a while ago, since they've recovered about 90%, after about 2 weeks of staying at home. And, Mani might take another week. As far as what he feels about my writing about our situation here, I'll know about that in the next two days. :) The results of the contest will be posted later in the day, today (Nov 10th), as mentioned in the last newsletter we sent out (Nov 6th). Thank you for your understanding. -Lata

Hope all are recovering well Lata. Though you are very busy with kids and Mani Sir, you maintained your punctuality. Hats off to you and your family members. In our (Indian) society ladies cannot shine without the husbands encouragement and co-operation. FOr that we, the ikolam members should thank Mani Sir. Wish all of you get well soon.

Please take care of yourself and your family members. Only if you're healthy and worry free can you engage in other activities. Close the shop and take rest for a few days :-) Regards! - mOhana

Thanks for you reply lata. Take care of your health, family is priority. I appreciate your efforts in checking your mails and replying even while you are not well. I also have a family so I understand you well. Has the Diwali contest results announced yet? I can't find any link the results. Also, I submitted few rangolis but can't see it anywhere in the site. Please help whenever you find time. Take care.

sorry, we've had some network problems since morning today, maybe, there is a problem with my name too, many times I switch between admin user, and Lata, so I guess I'm stuck as an admin for tonight. :) Long story short, i see your rangolis (desktop and others), and they would be uploaded one a day, from tomorrow. :)

7 months old? In my book, ladies who make kolams, manage younger kids, and take the time to share kolams here are SUPER MOMS!! :)

thanks for letting me know, we had to switch servers, and deal with a few issues. Hopefully, tomorrow would be better. It better be, we wouldn't want any interruption for viewing the desktop Ganesha :) Yes, but that is a small site, in comparison.
