It is a frequently used dialogue in Bollywood which says that a house is made into a home with the people who live in it, and with the love and bond they share. However clichéd, this is surely true. With the increasing use of social networking sites and distance between individuals, imlee works as a catalyst between the family members. 🙂 It lets you connect exclusively with your family members and stay in touch with them. BlogAdda in association with imlee.com, gets you an exciting contest, which lets you relive your family memories.
From pulling your sister’s leg, to teaching something new to your dad, there are many lovely things that happen within the family. In this contest you just have to share those memories with us. 🙂
Here’s what imlee says:
Bringing together the exciting concept of family trees & social networking, imlee is all about bonding better with your family. Imlee.com brings you the imlee stories contest to revive those fun and special times you had with your family.
What is the contest all about:
Step 1: Pen down your special family memory.
It could be a funny moment you had with your kid, the special rapport you share with your parents, about a festival your family celebrates together, your last family holiday, a funny incident in the family, a mischief you planned with your siblings and well practically any family story that you would like to share.
Step 2: Make your entry count.
For your entry to be eligible, copy paste the code below in your post.
If you wish you can add the attractive “I love my family” badge to your entry by copying the below code and pasting it on your entry.
Step 3: Submit your entry.
Add the link to your entry in the comment box below. The contest will be judged on creativity & originality.
Winners will be chosen by imlee.com. Judge’s decision will be final. Multiple entries are allowed.
The contest ends on April 25, 2012. Don’t wait till then. Blog about it today.

The incident I have written about has all the sweet, sour, spicy and bitter memories of my childhood. Though just a simple happening in the humdrum of life, it has left some impact on me as an adult.
Today, my Mom and Sister have lost their lives to Breast Cancer, along with my Dad who though suffering from Hodgkin’s cancer died naturally. Their memories have now become a treasure. My sister was a partner with me in everything that happened in my life before our teens. Relationships are not always sweet and fun, it has its darker sides too, but no matter what happens, how angry we are, we cannot stop loving our families.

An anecdote with my grandmother –
http://audi-nary.tumblr.com/post/21835195537/the-over-ripe-mango
My sister and I had been planning an international holiday together ever since we were young. But Life intervened–first marriage, then kids, then the myriad responsibilities. Our dream got buried under the rubble of everyday living. Finally, with our children married off and no husbands to speak of, we decided to take the plunge. Where else could it be?
It HAD to be Bangkok!
