Finally a topic that appeals to give it a shot!  Is there a link which gives the contest rules? Would be grateful if someone shared it here.  Thanks!

I didn't find any separate link for Rules, though the info given in contest page is sufficient to compose an article Smile

How to link back?  One of the contest rule is you have to link back. Sorry novice in blogging. Is placing a link in my blog enuf?

Ranjith

Yes, link back is placing a link in your post so that others can click on it and visit Apollo Hospitals ( website )

Wow! These related threads are so much more fun than writing unrelated blogs. Thumbs up to agreeing 'selling our souls for petty goodies'. Modern Healthcare clearly touches (and takes away) our financial lives. I know someone who paid 12 Lakhs in 7 days at Apollo. May be our goodies are coming from such blood money!

what about the goodies from other contets? why only single out this contest? as a blogger u can raise awareness of such issues that you mentioned too and not necessarily sell ur soul.

I remember someone refusing nobel prize citing it to be blood money.

on a lighter note from the above serious discussion, there seems to be no word limit for this one, right? 

Nandini Deka
from Bombay |

theres no word limit, otherwise they'd mention.

Healthcare is about taking care of your health problems. I am very much sensitive about my health.

Any idea about Enthu Pattani (Early Bird) prizes on Apollo Contest Page?

Ranjith

I think those are surprise gifts and a warning to people like me who submit their contest entries a few hours before the deadline!

@Ranjith - We better hurry up then! Smile

Submitted my entry today. Will complete it tomorrow! Wink

Fairy Princess
from Delhi |

how can you submit it without completing it?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Why can't we? Innocent Whatever I've written is complete by itself. I thought of adding few more paragraphs and drawing some pictures but didn't get time. So, I've posted  whatever I've written and submitted the link. The judges probably will not start looking at the entries today itself, so I still have a day to complete my entry. 

I've done the same for Tresemme too! Tongue out

Now, I will be the most unluckiest person if the IndiTeam does something like taking snapshots of all the contest entries immediately after the close of the contest! Cry

Yesterday, I felt too lazy to edit my post. Let me be satisfied with the pen drive! Smile

I think all this discussion is not very useful , because Appolo hospital has served mainly rich persons , who can afford its high charges .
The health of poor people is not the concern of this hospital . .

Manjulika Pramod

I agree with this and in fact my post is totally about how the modern health services are only for the ones who have money.

The modern health care has helped to extend the life of rich people but not of poor.. nobody is bothered about them.

Ekta Khetan
from Mumbai |

Any chances of getting extended?

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

It's already closed. I also wished that the contest be extended but I knew that it wouldn't be done as they already received 200+ entries!

Even though I have participated in most of the Indiblogger contests, I somehow couldn't take part in this, and now it's too late Cry

Incase neone who is in need of  a donor or u know of someone who wants a donor badly..can get in touch with this guy..... Though am not sure .. how genuine he is.. he has left his contact details on my blogpostCoolSmile

I think that he is in great need of money. Posted the same offer on 30-40 blogs! Tongue out

So, its results day, today. Just hoping that this time the only change they make on the contest page is the inclusion of a section announcing the winners and not a change in or an utter removal of the results date itself Tongue out. ATB everyone Smile

Priyanka Roy Banerjee
from Brussels |

ATB to you too Tushar. I'm yearning for a Flipkart voucher at least, this time Frown

Tushar Kumar Singh
from Delhi,Mumbai |

Me too hoping to get that 3k voucher at least. I mean I know that we have certain very articulate bloggers but I guess the remaining ipads and headphones and vouchers would suffice for them. And not to forget we all will get a pen drive as well. Although I've no idea why they're terming it specialInnocent

Ranjith

Special = It will have Apollo Hospitals logo on it. So, you'll be promoting it whenever you carry it with you. Tongue out

Anunoy Samanta
from Bardhaman |

I won't be surprised if it's a 2 GB or a 4 GB PD... I'll be overwhelmed to get a >=8 GB drive Undecided

Tushar Kumar Singh
from Delhi,Mumbai |

haha. +1 for that logo idea. I wonder if they forgot to put the logos and they would postpone the results and the subsequent dispatch of prizes just to do that Tongue out

Can only think of getting a pendrive... have written about the modern health care but emphasised more on how it is mostly for the rich and rarely for all.

When the breakthroughs are meant only for 5 % people, how can it really touch our lives....

Tushar Kumar Singh
from Delhi,Mumbai |

I concur on that aspect. I mean if one makes an attempt of comparing the offerings that healthcare has to provide for the top notch vis-a-vis the poor, you can see that we're living in two separate worlds. But ironically, there's nothing much that can be done about it. Modern healthcare is fueled by technology more than anything else, and technology is a luxury which only a few can afford. The only thing that can be done is bringing our govt healthcare abreast with what the private players have to offer and given the bureacratic deterrants and lack of will, even if it happens, it'll happen at a time when the state of healthcare for the elite would have already moved ahead by another level.Undecided

Annunoy, you said that you won't be posting in contest threads on the day of results... Tongue out
