My dear KS members, I'm back with a very important annoucement!
As you all know, recently I have posted the thread on the second round voting of the poetry contest!
To let you all know, the feedback was amazing; Also, me and monika apologize to you members, for making you members go through a tough decision making session!
I know how hard it was for both of us to come up with the best top ten poems, but we have to leave the rest upto you members, because you guys make this forum rock along with us and like I always say, that everyone's opinion is respected in here!
Now to the bottom line, I have tallied up all the feedback or rather your top three choices, and fortunately there were no ties!
So yes, we have the first place winner, the first runner up, and second runner up!
Also, before i announce the winner, me an monika whole heartedly thank the every single member who participated in the poetry contest!
Because of your hardwork and dedication, we can make the poetry contest rock, and KS parivaar members also got to see the true creative people behind the poetry lines!
The poetries were very well organized and done by each contest member, and not to forget, they were embraced by all of us!
But unfortunately the results came up to top 3, but don't lose your heart if you didn't make it to the top three, because i believe each and everyone of you are creative in your own way and winners til the end!
Moving along, I would now like to take my time to announce the top three poetry contest winners!

Entry # 2 by Tinkerbell (first place)
welll here goes...this ones about Bani's inner turmoil
Poem one......
Where do I start this unusual tale,
Forced into a marriage which was bound to fail,
He was full of heartbreak, anguish and pain
It was my sister who his heart had slain,
She had left him in the middle of nowhere.
He needed solace and comfort from somewhere.
He had nowhere to run or hide,
But it was me that picked up the peices and stood by his side.
Although he was full of hate,
I accepted him as my unfortunate fate.
His glances towards me were full of hate and rage
I felt trapped, like a bird locked up in a cage....
But then something unusual happened,
This feeling inside me grew and tappened,
On my heart, whenever he was around,
In his presence it was desire and comfort I found.
It was like a deep breathtaking heartbeat,
When I could hear the sound of his approaching feet.
I did not realise when and how it occurred,
The feelings just awoke and were now being stirred.
Could it be I was in love....
I felt like flying, flying so high above.
He may not see me as his wife,
But I cannot express in words how this man is now my life.
To leave him i would rather die,
But instead of telling him I would rather lie
There is a hope within me that maybe some day,
This lovely man may feel the very same way...
Entry # 3 by sweetsorrow18 (first runner up):
call this....AN ATTEMPT AT LOVE
(JAI) The blissful day that you stepped into my life.....
I never thought you would become my wife!
From day one, we have never been friends....
Let us go to the mandir in my black benz
But now is the time for me to tell you
The pureness of my heart, so clean so true
O dear Bani, i love you so!
But howcome you gave Pia some of our dough??
And that Pushkar...oh man...oh man
I made him my employee when our business began
But now look at him, so sad and so mad
That Pia i didnt marry, wow im so glad!
So Bani, come here, my button is loose
That rowdy Roshni can get her own juice
Dont worry about Rano, she wont see a thing
She is out in mountains, on the tree swing
Please give me a hug, a smile, a kiss
and in your hair, my heaven exists....
Now dont turn away, my beautiful sweetu
Or i wil call Maasi, Dadi and Anu
Worry not about Ranveer, my weird nephew
He's just super jealous of me and you
So now we have finally become one from two
(BANI) What happend on Park Road...give me a clue!!
Entry # 5 by Love4ever (second runner up):
Bani standing and thinking to herself as images were appearing in her mind – (from past till present)
I came with a belief of hope in this unknown city
We needed support from my father's friend and not pity
You gave us house, work and respect in supply
Your protection gave us hope under the sky
You highlighted the niceness from within
Life was hard here, but you helped it begin
My parents might have gone far away
But still their blessings were laid on our way
I met a new buddy, a pal, a friend
Who was there for us till no end
His sweet companionship I took mistakenly for love
Yet I valued his friendship way above.
I was happy to see love letting Pia change
But Pia first saw Mr. Walia's wealth for exchange
She recovered when love was distanced
For her mind could not let her heart get convinced
Pain was showered at Mr. Walia's expense
For in his eyes I felt suffering so very intense
My sister's fault broke someone into pieces
I let him avenge at me so his anger releases
Our marriage was just a deception for the world
In which feelings of misery in us were swirled
You got relief by attacking at me
Even in grief, I was consoled by your heart's plea
Anything you did to me could be faced
But couldn't let my parent's upbringing be disgraced
My sisters are my honor, my pride
With Rano I had walked away for fate to decide
Fate bought us back together unknowingly
For Massi stepped in this house so caringly
Her caressing nature couldn't let me go
She helped to make our unwanted relationship flow
Strange things started to happen soon
There was no music of love yet I heard a tune
Emotions of care and compassion in me started to steer
For Massi made "husband-wife" come near
Everything suddenly seemed to go right
But soon Ms. Roshni came to our sight
She made me uneasy and bought element of annoyance
For what she made Mr. Walia do made a difference
I saw Mr. Walia change in front of her
Once sweet and next moment she made it transfer
Coldness was being removed in our relationship
But soon a pregnancy report happen to slip
Weapon of words killed me in an instance
Yet I couldn't give a reason to gain his acceptance
Once truth of family's honor was revealed
Mr. Walia felt guilty and his lips were sealed
I blush when his affectionate images appeared
He gave bangles which my mind has captured
Next I see him close to Roshniji
And suddenly I blast at him in my insanity
Smiles radiates on my face when he shows care
But my silly imagination leaves me in despair
I wonder the mystery behind Park Road
But haven't found linkage in his code
Two weddings are about to take place
May Lord always shower this family with His grace
Proximity between Mr. Walia and Roshniji makes me cry
And so I have decided to say this house "good-bye."
Before I could leave, my tears spoke to you
You touched me and closer we drew
The night's moon blessed us with passion
In presence of hearts was our consummation
Suddenly my life had taken another path
For in your eyes I see respect in place of wrath
The dawn of a new day allowed hopes to rise
How would my heart handle when your words would comprise
You said "I am sorry" which shook my soul
Our feelings disagreed for they were not on the same pole
You said you were ashamed of yourself and unable to bear
All I wanted to say is "I Love You"…I swear (kasamh se)!!!!
