Hmmm....at the end of the contest, I would like to ask Renie to take up this sample (approx 200) and find out the relative percentage of Yes and No. Should bring out quite a revealing picture. Of course, the age of the 'respondents' (read bloggers) do matter as well if we want to draw an inference!!

As far as I read, some staunch No's, most "who cares"

For the most part, I kept going round and round and round and round, beating around the bush.Then in last 200 words, wrote - it's a personal choice. 
Though the video I have added is hilarious.

what a hilarious video clip. 32 votes as per latest tally and top post slab while mine is still at a big Zero.

Hahaha...of course, it has to be a personal choice, you cannot randomly float a question on social media and if people say "Ok go for it" then only you'll do it :D

Welcome Rio. I concur with what you wrote, on similar lines about what I wrote about Khajuraho temples.

Yes, that I added just some hours before the closure of contest when I couldn't write second post, I thought to better spruce up old post a bit.

My first post is also lost in oblivion. 
It took me a long time to figure out how to approach this topic and what points should be included and then it took some hard work to write it down.
Tried to have a balance between personal opinion and a generalized view which people have.

Strange ! So for , I have received 9 Indimails . Kind of " How could you .... ? " . Why have not they posted those as comments on my blog-post ? And more importantly , none of them have read my post till the end , or they would have known my own point of view.

9 Indimails!!!!!!! 
Gaurab

At least you know that many people read your post. Most of the entries hardly even got that much of visitors.

@Gaurab , Many visited the post , 9 of them sent Indimails . Well they are not exactly hate-mails but they are discouraging. Hardly a few voted for my post. Only Rio De La Sciocco commented ( positively + Promptly ) Thank u so much Rio.

@Ragini , Yes. It's bizarre. The tone of all those mails is same " How could u write that ? we never expected this from u ... " . This is the 1st time I have received Indimails for the post. Almost always , I receive votes and sometimes comments on the post itself.

So somebody managed to get in the 201st entry much after the deadline :-S
Gaurab
from New Delhi |
Sometimes few people submit the entries to Indivine by mistake, any of those entries which is submittted before deadline might have been included.
I read a comment from a blogger in last page of this thread only about his post going to Indivine, he might be the lucky one. 
(Just guessing)

@Gaurab , @Ranjith : Your replies have bolstered my confidence. People must not expect the journalist to be modest , coy , conservative , POLITICALLY CORRECT.
Gaurab
from New Delhi |
Yes, if someone doesn't agree that's fine but people can't impose their opinion on others.
Further, the answer to your question that why they sent mails rather than writing comments is that they already know they are wrong somewhere in imposing their opinion.
