Looking at the awesome list of 26 nominations for the month of August, I am reminded of the famous Tamil film song which tells us that if Lord Muruga laughs at Tirupparamkundram its echo can be heard at the hill of Tiruttani! The nominations started with Shanvy’s Indian lunch ideas sans rice and ended with Satchi telling us to ‘Like it or lump it’ as if to imply that if we cared for good health, it was imperative that we liked Shanvy’s ideas or else lumps of fat would start accumulating all over our torso! Isn’t it amazing that a clear link exists between the first and last nominations of the month and that both were nominated by Iyerviji?
Reacting to the anti-rice campaign of Shanvy, Pushpavalli butts in to make her point that rice or no rice, Old age has its toll! Jayasala has probably had too much of this ‘It is Kaliyuga! What else can you expect?’ and she comes with an entirely new perspective about the Yuga calculation. She concludes with a reassuring forecast that in another 70 years we may get into the Tretha Yuga, the Yuga that gave us the ‘Ram Rajya’!
RGS has as usual packed some brilliant stuff under his terse monosyllabic titles and after telling us that if we feel grief over some loss, others are in greater grief over bigger losses, he walks away flashing one of his famous smiles surveying all the lively goings on en route to his office. At the time of writing this summary of all the nominations, I am told that the abusive telephone calls have forced powerpuffgal to seek the help of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to get rid of the evil callers.
JustMyself feels enormously benevolent these days because she is a firm believer in the butterfly effect of good deeds done and she knows that this will eventually make Jayasala’s predictions come true! The Good Samaritan that is Naksh issues yet another cautionary notice about Job Postings. Quebec wants Satchi to keep spinning a tale not realizing that it is for others to carry on with this spinning as she is right now on medication for her spinning head! Shalu is researching into a new kind of madness called FB that has gone viral and none of her readers is able to provide her any clue about how to contain this menacing epidemic.
There is a very rare ‘isolated’ case of someone who having strayed away from what she wanted to be in the first instance has now declared to the world that she would eventually get to be what she really is. Good old Viswa is on a pilgrimage of love and self discovery. He wants to find out what makes Indians so courteous and compassionate. Viswa, don’t go too far for an answer. Just turn the focus on to yourself! Kamalji is not happy with the suicidal decision of Robin Williams and is appalled at the colossal waste of life but Gauri gives him some highly researched insight into the suicidal tendencies of people.
The rest of the nominations of the month are children oriented starting from TTC and an indignant foetus to the artistic tendencies of children and the uncomfortable questions they can ask! Parenting and Sibling Harmony add colour to the nominations.
I have given you a run through of all the nominations received in August. Are you still finding it difficult to guess who could be the Winner of the Finest Narration Award? Yes, my friends, I am happy to declare
