Two out of every three Indians suffer from gum problems and are unaware of it. Blood can be the sign of bigger gum problems like gingivitis, receding gums or even tooth loss if left untreated. One should not ignore the warning signs your body gives you!

So blog away, write a moral story about ignoring warning signs and win great prizes :

  • 1 Sony XPeria Z
  • 16X Rs 5000 Nike vouchers
  • Colgate hamper for all participants with a valid entry

For more details, visit the contest page.

One more doubt and it is about the following statement:

All entries must have a link to the My Healthy Speak Blog

The above link is pointing to: http://bit.ly/K6TIoa

But, it actually redirects to: http://www.myhealthyspeak.co.in/

 

So, which link should we use? Is it ok to use any of the links or do we need to use both the links!?

Please clarify.

 

Thanks,

Narendra

You could use either, but http://www.myhealthyspeak.co.in/ is preferable! Smile

The doubts are early warnings of the direction in which the contests is heading. If you ignore them, there may be serious problems in the end when results are announced.

me too have doubts, ranjith Cry i'm super-confused with the plethora of contests and all their rules. 

for this one too, there seems to be no word limit mentioned, right?

Ranjith
from hyderabad
10 years ago

There is no word limit.

Simply ignore all the rules. Read the topic and write something related to the topic given. As simple as that! Wink

If you are still confused, wait till 15th of May - the date from which other entries will be made visible. You can get an idea of the contest by reading other entries. Smile

First blog your story on the given theme on your blog as a blog post. Then via the contest page, go to the Submit Your Entry link. Then follow the instructions. You do not have to copy paste your story on Indiblogger. You only have to give the link to your blog post.

For several days, I thought that the toothpaste and CoAlgate had the same spelling until one day when a newspaper report said that someone from Colgate asked people not to get confused between Colgate and Coalgate!

@ Avadhoot I never thought that I was writing code. If I don't use bulleted points, it would have been too confusing to read. ( First of all, it would be too confusing for me to write ) Innocent

Why and how does this 'last minute extension' of winner announcement happen? I have seen it once before too.

So that we can dream of winning for few more days. Undecided

Actual Reason: Quite simple - The judges did not complete their work.

It is a profoundly philsophical question like 'Why did the chicken cross the road?"
