A milestone!

When we started back in September - that isn't that long back - we - Me, Shilpa &Vidya (the brilliant lady behind our new poster!) the ONLY 3 members of IMQG, had hoped of reaching a milestone of 100 members in one year!

Diwali 2012 was my personal target for 100 members.

But today, even before we have seen the end of March 2012, we are nearing that target!

How does it feel?

Awesome.
Proud.
Happy.
Delighted.
Crazy.

and a lot more that words cannot express.

So we're going to celebrate our century (our first one, as much awaited by all our members as much we awaited Sachin's 100th) with a giveaway.

Right now, I mean at the moment I'm typing this, we are at 93 members.

I will unveil the 5 prizes that you can win one at a time, every time a new member is added after 95. (The first one will be unveiled when we have added our 96th member). And exactly 2 days after we add our 100th member, we will draw the winners.

Each image will be replaced by info and image of the prize IN THIS POST.
