Big, hearty congratulations to all the winning writers... also the top ten entries. It's really good to see so many awards being given and I am glad that my favourite few made it into the top ten. 🥳

I know I am extremely late in wishing but I just went through a major brain surgery and am finally back home now. Even while interacting with Manjiri regarding scores, I was in the hospital and I did not want to comment on this thread from my phone. I have a lot to say and too many people to thank.

Thank you judges, for investing so much time and effort in reading and judging so many stories. Thank you Lazyleaves, for your very sweet comment on my OS and I am glad that you enjoyed and loved it. And thank you Manjiri for taking the initiative to organize this OS Contest. 👏

When I saw the score sheet, I was overwhelmed by the number of readers who actually loved Love is... I want to thank each and everyone for voting and your appreciation for the story means the most to me. 🤗

There were many others who have mentioned and praised Love is... in their favourites... So a big Thank you to all of them as well. 🤗

Now when I started reading comments on this thread I realized, that so many people wanted Love is... to be amongst the winners... And guys really it is so humbling to see that you have been putting your views upfront. I had not known the power that a story had, to be able to connect to so many hearts. Thank you for all those beautiful comments. I feel like a winner despite not winning anything. ❤️

@Pearl_Oyster - Thank you so much for your sweet comment for Love is... and that you hoped it to win something... I am glad you enjoyed the OS so much. Congratulation to you for making it into the Top Ten!!! ⭐️

@Sami - Our admiration is mutual. Thank you for such a lovely comment on Love is... I absolutely loved and laughed at The Language of Love... especially in those stressful times for me... Thank you for writing such a brilliant piece Sami... and I am even gladder as it turned out to be yours. Congratulations on making it into the top ten rightfully. ⭐️

@vandana.sagar - Thank you for thinking that Love is... deserved to be in the winning list and thank you so much for the vote, Vandana. 😃

@DurgaS - Thank you for making your disappointment so vocal about Love is... not making it to the winners list... But its okay... yours did and a big wala congratulation to you for making it. Btw I loved Always Together'... it was a beautiful story!! ⭐️

@chitrajay - Wow... your comment made me feel like a star!! Thank you so much for all the kind words on Love is... I am so happy that you enjoyed the story so much. 😃

@Preet.Kc - I did not know you on IF so far... but I don't think I can forget you ever. Your comments and opinions for Love is... have seriously overwhelmed me. Thank you so much for thinking that it deserved to win and the banner that you have made for it is perfect. I will be posting the OS on the forum tomrw... and will definitely use the banner. I frankly felt hurt about the low scores but as I was fighting a bigger battle in my AD, I just let things go. Thank you for voicing your opinion frontally for a story that I did not realize had won so many hearts. 🤗

@Rasgulla_sp - OMG! I did not know news travels so fast and someone recommended Love is... to you. Thank you for such a sweet comment on it and your argument over the grammar really cracked me up!! Thank you once again for taking time out to actually come forward and write a comment on this thread. I shall be posting the OS on the forum tomorrow and will definitely PM you the link. 😃

@Nandz - Thank you for wanting Love is... to be in the top ten... With so many readers votes I really feel like a winner. 😃

Finally I would really like to thank everyone who has liked Love is..., voted for it, wanted it to win, fought for it and is still wishing for some response from the TM. But seriously, I already feel like a winner, as a story that I wrote during one of the toughest phases of my life has been able to touch so many hearts. Because...

Thanks for appreciating the idea. Well, I wanted to read and comment on some stories, but searching for every story was going to be tedious. So, decided to make the index so that all stories can be accessed from the same point. I hope it is useful for many others. 😊

@Rasgulla: seems like the grammar is not objective looks at the marks 🤓

I think the biggest mistake that was made by the organizer was to say the names of the judges the day the contest was announced.

I think the right thing to do was not to say who were the judges, so no one would have known, and no one would have had doubts.

And the organizer should have told to the judges to not disclose to anyone that they were judging the contest, so that everything would be gone smoothly, or atlest i wish.
