For raffle-draw, I had taken the help of my friend\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s daughter, three year old Manasa, to randomly pick the winners. For each prize, we have written down all the names and placed the folded paper slips in a jar. A vigorous shake and a pick. One prize at a time, the raffle-draw turned out to be a pleasant affair, all thanks to little cutie pie Manasa. <\/p>\n

From Manasa\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s hands, here are the raffle results:<\/p>\n
