KFC Sets You On Fire!
Another contest is up - with awesome Croma & KFC vouchers! Hope you all like the topic! 
@farida: read about the hate commet too...how come paricipating the contests..make the blogger greedy? Indiblogger is a community of bloggers..we are here to blog together..contests make us more involved....You win the contests only because they are worth winning...one hate comment wont reduce your fanlist...
you cancer fighting stories are all enough to reflect the brave person in you...hope the anonymous person comes into ligt soon..!
I don't know. But someone thinks it is so. What rule says when you win you have to step down?
When I share my story of surviving cancer and bringing up my special needs daughter, it is not to show I have been through a lot. It has to let people who are suffering to know that the phase will pass away. Having a special needs child can bring happiness too, only you need to look at the child and not the disability.
The anonymous will not talk in open because it is shame as to what he/she is saying. BTW thanks for the compliments.

arvind ji vividly remember u critisizing the judging process somehwere.
Rest judges seem to have queer conincidental way of choosing posts!
this is my first competition for blogging!!i hope i could win!!and i think my post has it to win!!
shouldnt the date be 23rd Jan 2012?? 
LOL, You are right. They may not have celebrated the new year yet ;)
I was indeed shocked to read about the sort of hate mail that Farida has been subjected to... this is certainly not good behaviour for any sane personality.
However, this happens all the time, everywhere. I look around myself and find this happening on my Facebook page also... people trying to ridicule and demean small perceived successes of others.
As a solution all I do at such times is to step away from them. I either kick that 'friend' out of my friend list or delist myself from that group or simply ignore the person's virtual avatar. What else can a mere mortal do? I have also decided to write a blog post on this and will soon share it with you all.
Yesterday I felt bad about it Arvind, but today, it is all gone into oblivion .. I know deep in my heart why I do, what I do. Finally it is my conscience I have to answer to. I felt bad when Pri and Defiant Princess were ridiculed when they won. Expected something to be said about me, but may be my posts are better than me ;) so I get targetted. Do I stop by anonymous when I haven't stopped for many big hurdles of life? NO.
Tried to write from a different perspective for this topic. Mingled the picture of a juicy fiery grilled chicken piece and made it get into an animated conversation with me... garnishing the post with comic-book like pictures of me talking to a rather energetic chicken piece. Hope my blogger friends like the post.
Finally after few hate mails I got hate comment on my blog today.... This is what it says---
You seem to write only for contests and winning prizes. Your greed is making me respect you less and less with each passing day.Write your heart out just for the sake of venting out someday. That feels good too.
The much learned coward did not leave a name behind though. I would love somebody to come forward and tell it out in open so that I can answer that individual.
I have 200 posts on my blog, who could claim they were done for contests?
Competitions and contest are for showing your worth and winning.
Blogging is what I do, if I get recognized and appreciated in it, I feel happy and proud. Where does greed come in here? I am not stealing food being distributed on free.
I don't go around begging for votes or comments for my blog. One of the reason why my top voted post on Indivine is not from blogging contest. It is about my experience of going through cancer.
I have written in competitions where there are no prizes to be won on different platforms and won them too. Just because money is invovled here it doesn't change anything for me.. it may change something for those who are greedy.
If my tiny winning of few blogs points to greed than what would the great great achievements of Sachin, Lata, Amitabh and many such great personalities dubbed as?
People don't stop and let you win Anonymous, you need to prove your worth and achieve something. When they don't win good people become better, unworthy people become bitter.
I don't know how one can comment in such a way. He probably doesn't understand the winning spirit. For the first time ever, I have participated in a contest (KFC's) on Indiblogger. I may make another attempt if I win a prize. Contestants should develop affinity rather becoming envious. Let us wish that the best of the entries win than looking it from individual perspective.
Good Luck to yu EPMWORLD. Few may be bad losers over here...
Fingers Crossed, hope the best one win :)Best of luck to all !If you get time, try to read my entry about getting selected in job interview :P

Hey guys, i submitted my entry at around 8pm, it still isnt showing on the contest page. Iv written to the Support Email Id. Any clues what i should do?
Posted my entry, my first contest on IB, almost a month back. Have been particular not to promote the post since I am curious what happens to content that I believe is good but not written for searchbots and not promoted. Interestingly small number of views from the IB domain. :)
Glad you liked it, DS.
Submitted my 3rd entry!!!
Inspired by a true story from my hostel days, happened with me in the first year!!!!
Do check out and give feedback :)
All the best DS. I wud read urs soon. I just posted my entry.
I did that too.. Usually it is tough to find stories for contest, but the topic is so cool that many of our life events can be weaved into the contest post.
Don't bother about the posts. Enjoy your travel....
Read your entry too Goutam... the story of most houses... Heart warming read.
All The Best :)
Uff finally Got my Valid Kfc voucher..Thanks indi team..Thanks nanditha (moderator)..
thank you DS!!
Don't provoke me DS. I may end up doing it too.. the topic itself is so tempting to write and brag about ourselves ;)
Hey Guys !!
I wrote this real story a while back and you all would be surprised to note that a website www.piracywatch.net has featured my story on their homepage . Indipolice - Please note i have not given link for my blog. The original entry can be read on my blog.
The admin of this website has made some changes and credited the article to me.
Is it fine if he has published the article with modifications ??? Please suggest !!
Surf Excel was the first contest i ever participated. Though i did not win i learnt some useful tips from the winning posts :)
So i wrote for KFC, again this time and this is my own story when i was taken as a hostage by the Sea Pirates. The post is titled 'Pirates of the Malacca Strait' .
Read it to experience the thrill :):)
I have submitted another post for the contest . More than anything, I am very pleased with the pictures I made on MS paint for this blog.
Thanks.. but you can skip it because cricket in going on ;)
Thank you DS
