Soul Sisters Contest by Womensweb and Zivame
This Women’s Web – Zivame.com contest is all about the power of friendships! Celebrate a woman who’s been a friend, an ally, who means the world to you.
Girlfriend. Women who’ve struck by you through thick and thin. Ally at the office. Buddy. Shoulder to cry on. Childhood playmate. BFF. Confidante at college. Fellow rebel. Diva. Girl’s night out partner. Soul Sister.
Whatever you call her and whether you call her everyday or once in a month – it doesn’t matter. What matters is who she is to you, and how you feel about her.
As part of this contest, blog about a woman (or many) whose friendship is precious to you. Tell her that what she means to you, and how much you value her friendship. Share a story about what makes your friendship tick – funny, sad, memorable, quirky – let the world know what you and your soul sister have been up to!
UPDATE: CONTEST CLOSED.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
