Kiran Manral

Renie Ravin

"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."  - Margaret Mead

Kiran, you and your team bear testament to this statement. What you all are doing is very commendable.

Congratulations! on winning a very well deserved award!

With sincere appreciation for your work,

Adarsh.

Adarsh, this is incredible, this is the exact same quote one of my team members sent me in the early days when I was struggling with India Helps and with victims who were taking undue advantage of our effort to help...

Humor sounds good! I vote for it!

Vinod

Congrats , Its a great moment to win "Kiran Manral "  Clap Clap from me too.

Humor is a good choice I support it. 

Vipul Grover

It will be suicidal 2 go against the tide.. so 'Humour' it should be.. though tht means um out of contention with only 2 posts 2 match d criteria:(

Bt in case it is not chosen, i'll go with "Autobiographical/personal" as the alternative category.

Nd yeah congrats Kiran.. guys read my post on the contest @ http://vipulgrover.blogspot.com/2009/06/indiblogger-of-month.html

(I can't miss a grand chance of cheap self-promotion;)

Kiran Manral

Thanks Vipul and Congrats to you too! Just a small correction to your post, IH is not a NGO, its just a blog that was set up to help 26/11 victims and grew into a movement...

Vipul Grover

thnx kiran, thts very kind of u... anyways i hav made the required changes in my blog as far as Indiahelps description goes. All the best with ur work nd future endeavours too.

I'm a huge respecter of Indiahelps as well as huge fan of ThirtySixandCounting.Smile Congrats Kiran!

Renee, thanks for the last competition, I have learned so much about the good and great work people are doing. I will never forget the picture of the child's hands in the old person's hands (the orphanage to old age home trip)...

And lot of others. Everyday I would share with my family some of the Great Work that folks are doing.

I think humour is a good follow-up to social causes, we need a break from the serious..., 

Would it be good if we could vote "post- wise" and not blog wise and vote for more than one person? It would help the indecisive ones like myself. A little thumbs-up style feature?Satya

Kiran Manral

Satya: Thanks, and honoured...

wow.. Humor humor humor.. and i can particpate for it... has the time elapsed?

am i doing blogwhoring here? dunno a little bit about my page -

Chronicwriter is the name of my name.  Chronicwriter is the name of my blog name too. Chronicwriter is the first blogger in the world. Chronicwriter is a humor blogger. Chronicwriter was born on his birthday. Chronicwriter is a complete humor man-since 1982.

Chronicwriter used to conduct Top-secret nuclear experiments for exposing an undisclosed North eastern Antartican province and was on the verge of Vasectomizing a female python when he decided to focus on his blog instead.

what does that mean?

Chriz

blog whoring is nothing but promoting your own blog url in many forums irrespective of what the topic is all about.

This present discussion was on choosing the right topic. I tried to talk about it and slowly i inserted my blog link too with an intention to make people read my page. This is blogwhoring. (Nothing unethical about it anyways)

my two cents for Humor

Santhosh P
from Bangalore |

Humor as the subject is a not a good idea because its an excellent idea.

Hemal Shah
from Mumbai |

hehe... that was humorus!

Savio Pereira

I have recommended 'Public Health' issues or 'Education' issues. Regulatory issues are important.

Congrats Kiran. Congrats to all the nominees of April 2009 Award for best blog on Social Causes. All have their unique appeal.

On a second thought, was 'green' a subject ever for awards? if not i recommend that, because i've painted my blog green all over...
