Ring The Bell for IndiChange!
IndiChange and RingTheBell are back, and this is time it's a contest where there are no winners or losers.
Blog about Ring the Bell, and for every 50 entries received, Breakthrough will put 1 lakh INR towards training self-help groups (SHGs), community-based organisations (CBOs) and youth in schools in the district of Gaya in the state of Bihar.
"Harnessing the collective power of blogging to fight evil." - shall we set a target?
Dreaming or no dreaming, this is bad...especially for the professionally-managed forum like IB. False promises and false hopes.
actually most of the ones they sent broke..maybe thats why
They should have thought of that before making such promises.
Sometimes it feels so cheap to wait for these small (but blissful) things indefinitely to knock your door... So it's our fault that we wait [monkish smile]... Yes when binomial theorem doesn't work in professional space chaos prevails and hypocrisy is born in every dark corner of the alley [sigh]
AS, it's not about the mug, at least not for me. It's about doing what you say. Of course, I can buy dozens of mugs from my own hard-earned money. But this kind of management does bug me.
atleast they are not false promises....cos many did recieve...yes its unfortunate that they broke...
ND, for me it's a false promise cause I haven't received it. When I say false promises and false hope, it's for myself.
for me false promise would be if no one got anything...yea me too didnt get the mug...but i'd think there could be some valid reasons why its delayed and I trust IB enough to hope those reasons are sorted soon.
ND, good thing you trust IB ...I have reached the end of my patience. If (which seems highly unlikely to me) I get my mug now, most probably I will smash it to pieces
itna gussa? :o i trust IB cos i recieved many goodies till now, so if there is some delay i'd know its for genuine reasons
Well... It's not good to interfere when two ladies talk/argue/discuss things, but here what I feel ND has every reason to keep her faith strong and Pankti has equally valid reason to distrust the professionalism being shown here, judging from the platforms they two respectively are standing on... [Sigh]...
Well for me it's a 50-50 thing... as it's professional space (considering mutual benefits between blogger and IB/sponsor) I'll greatly appreciate if delivery of service and payment for the same (in any form) takes place hand to hand with acceptable marginal delay... Cheers [smile]
AS u got a broken mug....so it was delivered albeit broken
I have stopped dreaming ---no use
dont stop dreaming...sometimes dreams do come true
BTW, I haven't received any mug from this contest. Has everyone else received it?
I didn't get it even in my dreams

Thanks for a prompt reassurance, Renie.
I have a suggestion - Please request the courier companies to mention 'Fragile' on the box otherwise people's stints with broken mugs will continue for eternity. And also, if u can, please suggest them to package it in a more proper way.
Sorry about the broken mugs!
Everyone who got a broken mug will get a new one sent across. Also, we're waiting for the dispatch details so we can update InDispatch.
And what about those who haven't received anything until yet?
Hey Panki, I'll ask my team to look into your situation. As far as I know, many of the Ambi Pur car samples are yet to be sent out, so you don't have to worry just yet. (The contest has been extended to September 30). There aren't too many books to go around, and they're mostly sent out on a first-come basis. Ring The Bell mug - we'll let you know as soon as we get the dispatch numbers!
Cool Renie
From now onwards, I should apply for the books as soon as they are displayed.
will have to stay awake mignights then...cos most of the things are usually announced late mindnights
kaan??? means ears???
in our language kaan means ears and kana means deaf khana is food.
Thanks Renie, I had written two entries and one the mugs came in a broken condition. I received the other mug today in perfect condition
IndiMug or AmbiPur Mini Vent are not shown in the Indispatch.
Nothing is shown on Ind-Dipatch. Period.
Vent is being shown for those who got it.
.
But for me, the status is Not Delivered - Address Incorrect
I haven't received any mug
@Renie, am I going to recieve anything from IB ever???? I applied for Ambipur sample, didn't receive it. I applied for books to review, I didn't receive it. I wrote for Ring The Bell, didn't receive anything.
Are you listening Renie????????????????????????????
at least u can do is throwing a glance at your indi-dispatch, if it mentions the courier name & docket no. of the sent items,then u may contact the courier office.
AV, here is the screen shot of my Indi-Dispatch
Sorry! It looks like we've not sent you anything as yet.
lmao pankti even i didnt get ambipur n mug
@ Pankti Your IndiDispatch looks so clean just like my FB profile.
+1 to Prasanna and Tushar, both. Prasanna, your ordeal is same as mine, word to word.
Just that for me it was a double shock as both the mugs, for two entries were tattered.
Renie, please look into the matter and oblige.
And, One Mug for a third entry is pending. Just hope that third one will be safe and sound.
And, the other two will be replaced.
Poonam, I am not sure if each entry made by an individual will get a mug. Even I wrote three entries but have received only one mug. Thankfully it was intact though the packing was really loose and quite shoddy.
I took it for granted that they must be sending one mug for one contributor even if he/she made multiple entries.
Does anyone know for sure what the deal is for this?
hmmm...will courier guy admit their own faults? fyi i think these mugs were customised for the ring bell initiative ( if i'm not wrong ), hence cant be some extra broken mugs lying around at the stockist's godown right which he wanted to get did off? i feel as someone mentioned earlier it mustve been poor packing.
+1 to Prasanna and +1 to Tushar too. I received my two mugs for my two entries and both in horrible conditions. Renie, please look into the matter.
And Prassana, your ordeal is same as mine. Word to word.
I had written two posts but received only one mug. Anyway looking at the condition of the first mug I fear what would have happened to the second one
@ PR As far as I remember, it is one mug per participant.
@ PK Were those two mugs for your entry and uncle's entry?
These mugs remind me of the food items sent by my parents which came to me in powdered form.
Coincidentally, even my perk has arrived in tatters. So much for a genuine effort towards an egalitarian cause. I can't help but feel that most of the cups were damaged beforehand because wrapping them in a layer of newspaper and expecting them to arrive at destination safe and sound is nothing but pure cretin stuff
why would they be damaged beforehand..doesnt make sense...
Nandini, my guess is it was not properly packed. It was packed in newspaper and a little thermocol package. The courier people are not particularly known for handling packages carefully
