Why I like ikOlam :-)

Oh very very true jkm sir...all the five points mentioned by you are so so true.... I am so happy mentally and physically because of this wonderful place

yes mOhanaji very true...this is a excellent platform... am very happy to get like minded friends and learned lot though ikolam..and yes I agree with you that "a lot of freedom is available to the individuals to express themselves'..thanks so much for bringing out this thanks to Lata & ikolam team..

Frankly speaking after i became member of ikolam my personality has changed .though i was mad before now i am totally mad u know .....ah ah ah
Now i started writing poems and clro paintings .I got lovely true friends which i have never imagined .Yes as rightly said by you here people encourage u in all the means .
I salude to Ikolam and lataji sir .
In fact to tell u we managers(head of the each departments)are undergoing Cerstcom (US based) tainning .in our last lecture as we are going to complete this training i wrote one silly poem which was apprecialted by all and the crestcom trainer asked to send the poem to him .this credit goes to only and only ikolam

yes very true rao sir :).....i'm very happy here thanks to lata

What, it's Thanksgiving already!? :bigsmile: That was my first thought Mohanaji.

All of us put together make a great team, Mohanaji. I guess as long as everybody keeps in touch and says 'hello' in their own style, all of us will keep growing. This is what my brain has learned, so far. :bigsmile:

I'm afraid if I start writing names of friends in the team to thank them, I'll not be able to fit all the names here, and even if I try, I'm sure I can't continue and will walk away misty eyed.

One commenting section is not enough for me to touch upon our big team-members. So I guess I'll keep my composure and will divert my mind to posting my part of the 'hello' with this site.

I think I forgot to acknowledge that in terms of the management and functionality, the site is doing ok, but can do better, and will keep it as an ongoing goal. :beer:

C'mon brain, quick, close the commenting section, or else other friends are going to feel pressured to start thanking. :bigsmile:
Hope they don't.

I too agree with you sir.Thanks for god to give me and introduce me the site .I love this site and members of the site.

Dear Lata,as mentioned it is really a silly poem written on the spot to answer how i felt about the taining .My trainers name is Mr.Rajendra Muthye and the full form of PAP is "personalised action plan ".This training course is for one year and every month we have to attend for two days and each day we have two lectures on mangement . And after every lecture we have to fillup the form for PAP and in next lecture we have to show how we have implemented it .Our PAP and implementaion sheets goes to higher authority(MD).Plese find below my poem there may be lots of spelling mistakes .please forgive me

FRANCO KE MANAGER Chale crestcom ke training per

Franco ke manager
Chale crestcom ke training per

Dimagh se khali
Phirbi hai baari

Pahele din mei
Nahi kohi deel rahat mei

Tanliya Rajendra muthe
Nahi kohi lecture chute

Rakdiye saamne
"PAP" ko barne

Dimag ho gaya sunn
Margaya mann

Lage log barne bar bar
Mai raha gayi tar tar

Na kohi yukti
Na kohi shakti

Dek kar haari
Yaha choti(moti) si naari

Patha nahi kaise
chale likhne haise

chalthe gaye
piche mood ke dhek nahi paye

kisi ke mukkdder
bana diya huse sikander

na soche hum
kahan pauche tum

kya lekhe aaye
kya leke gaye

dikadenghe yek din
jab ayenghe muskil

darenghe na hum
ladengena tum

miljulkar bagayenghe
muskuraker rahenghe

yahi hai seeka hum nei
is training mei

Bala ho Rajendra ji ke
Aur haum sab ke

Yahi hai nara
Humko hai pyra

Yahi hai nara
Humko hai pyara

Your views are very true and I totally agree with them sir...A very wonderful place to share our works and thoughts. Of the five points you have mentioned the third and the fourth one always comes to my mind first as soon as I think about ikolam. I am very happy to be associated with this site which has given me so many wonderful friends and thank one and all for the support and the happiness they have brought in me. Thanks for making us share our thoughts sir.

My first thought when I finish my housework is when will I go to Ikolam, even if my kolam is not published and even if I have not uploaded a kolam, reason being to view the wonderful works of others. Yes what I like in this site is the encouraging words no matter how the kolam is, that is what encourages people to do a better job (living example me). Friends... who can imagine that such a strong bond can be formed here, I surely never did until I started participating in all events of Ikolam, friends who I took the liberty of teasing and who I shared my feelings of grief or happiness with. Things seemed incomplete without me sharing my feelings with them. Before I never took interest in doing kolam as much as I take now to do them, reason is because I have like-minded people to genuinely enjoy my works, give constructive opinions about our works, and understand the importance or relevance of it. Every time in our life if something good happens, like we get good parents or a good life partner, we thank god for giving us such wonderful persons in our life. Similarly, Lata I thank you for bringing us together and creating such a wonderful and magical bond. :love: :love: Thank You JKM sir for this opportunity as well.

sOWMI MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO YOU FOR YOUR LOVELY WORDS FOR MY SILLY POEM .LATA DEAR EAGERLYAWAITING FOR YOUR COMMENTS TOO .
