Hey guys, last time the discussion for holding of subsequent IB of the Month for the month of May started as soon as that for April got over.

Just half a month left and we'v not started discussing the topic for the month of June!

Till it officially gets started, I thought of generating sum debate on the next month's topic.

UPDATE FROM RENIE:

And the contest is back! Smile Let's decide on a category for August 2009 - yes, we have decided to skip June and July in order to catch up!

Y not general blog .. some times we get lot more stuffs from there ?? ... y not give importance to layout and theme used... one more idea ... how about selecting a blogger whose template matches with the theme of the blog ... this would quantify a blogger .. wat say???

General issues sounds good to me... that'll include write ups on the decade after Kargil... hopefully!

Original Literature (self composed poems and self written short stories)

errr .. IndiRank will be updated soon, give us some time .. major revamps, upgrades going on for IndiVine etc .. Renie has been up 24 hrs for the last one week and the last time I called him he didnt remember his name.. He thought he was Optimus Prime from transformers and i recall him calling me Bumble bee :) ..

But knowing Renie .. he will rise up from the dead soon and with a bang :)

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! :D

Poetry sounds good to me... although it means I won't be able to participate. I can't express myself in such limited words! :p Also, it's very rare that I'm truly able to understand the essence of any poem! Sighhh! But anyways, I'll probably never get to know when the contest starts... I'm so erratic in my visits to indiblogger!

Nevertheless, it will give an opportunity to our budding poets to get to know each other and get some recognition and appreciation from like-minded people. For instance, Parv up there... I feel so guilty at not being able to leave any comments on his poems, even though I read each one of his posts in my Google Reader! :( I'm just not cut out for poetry u see!

We could have original fiction next month perhaps... because fiction writing is also a very specialized area of writing -- one that I really admire a lot 'coz again, it's something that it is still Greek to me! But I really respect bloggers who can write a convincing piece of fiction and carry it through with grace! Perhaps if this topic is chosen, I might at least be able to participate in the voting... but please don't expect me to choose one poem over the other! That's a foreign language to me which I don't understand!

Still vote for these 2 topics -- in 2 different months though.

Cheers!

Transformers - only twice. Tongue out IndiVine is coming out super - better than anything else we've done. (Fingers crossed!)

The IndiBlogger of the Month contest will be back in a week, we're making some tweaks to it.
