Dear Friends,
Very glad to inform you that I won the prestigious Top Management Consortium Award for 2008-2009 for excellence in journalism on March 10th at the hands of the Governor of Tripura, D Y Patil. Barhi Malhotra, leading industrialist (Weikfield) and founder of the award looks on. Sorry not to have posted for long to this blog and when I did so, I talked about myself. I could not upload big images of the pic so sent two to compensate (chuckle)cheers and warm rgds

CONGRATS Vinita!!!!
One swallow does not a summer make but two pictures sure maketh a big impact....:-}
Initially I thought they were the same (one a little brighter than the other) but on closer observation you seem to receiving a bouquet and the award. But the same cannot be said for the expressions on the face of the guv and Mr.weikfield...they are one and the same...hehehe.
Btw...wanted to read what you were holding but even after enlargement the pic is still small...:-{
CONGRATS again.........:-}
CONGRATULATIONS...!!! Keep it up.
Hearty congratulations. You make us proud.

Tks so much everyone but very shocked that Faiyaz wrote such a clinical reply - so unlike him. Hey, what happened, are you ok Faiyaz?
Tks Nargis for your detailed observation - actually my layout designer who edits pictures was absent so sent the raw ones hence they are dark.
Well the citation read: (take it with a pinch of salt, they have to make it read impressive) - here it is:
