You have done it Minoo,Congrats and Keep it up!
There is a saying in Kannada-'hoovininda naaru swarga serithu'which means-
{Because of the flower(s)in a garland even the fibre (that binds them) got its place in Heaven}.
In our case flower is Minoo and the fibre is me or people like me.
Thank you once again for all the wonderful posts and Wish you all the best for your future projects.
Your well-wisher,
(Anonymous)Aarathi.(LOL!)
