hi everyone,
hope all of you are doing great..
okay listen i have a big big favour to ask of all of you..
i think all of you must have known or atleast heard of a very close friend of mine anirudh mayaram (cheeku) who passed away in may.he was a very dear friend of mine.
well his family and friends have started a foundation in his memory called "Anirudh Mayaram Foundation" which gives scholarships of various sorts and organizes a number of events. last year we organized an inter school basket ball match in jaipur.
this year we are organizing an online essay writing competition open to all students all over the country.
now the favour that i ask of you is to spread the word around...your college, friends, sibblings who are still studying,neighbours...everyone ok.

just to make things simple i'm attaching a poster of the competition which you can either forward around or print out and then circulate around schools and colleges in your city (second one preferably).don't be selective about who you forward it to, just keep it going....please guys don't take this lightly, do this for me please...you all know how much anirudh meant to me, this is just a small thing i can do for him and i need your help.
the last date for submission is 31st march and there will be two cash prizes---Rs.10,000 & Rs 5,000.
also just to keep a record, when you do send the posters around could you keep me posted about which all schools and colleges have been contacted..thanks a million guys.
take care.
loads of love,
me

Ok... well, the poster she sent me is sort of difficult to put up here... some technical problem, so I'll just put up the essential details:
