Where were u dude, first time I woke all night and by 4 am in the morning all task completed. Your guidance was missed. But I can surely count on your blessings.
Wowowoww!!! This is awesome response! More than 100 entries on the first day itself!!! Thats just
!!!
I had thought of givng it a miss, but seeing the enthu here... am now considering......![]()
@ arti yes, go ahead . its never to late ![]()
and yes the response has been pleasantly surprising, maybe it is because of the prize money :)
Lets see if I can conjure up something... Yes the big prize money must surely contributed to the large scale participation...
Thanks for the encouragement:)
I except that the entries would cross 200 because many seem to submit their entries in the last moment
Count me in that too @Ranjith![]()
@ Arti How can I? You have submitted your entry 10 days before the deadline. isn't it? ![]()
Submitting after the posts have become visible is late already!!!
How to win People's choice
Winning the category (one winner for 50K) is to share this link with your friends online and who have a facebook account. They need to click like on that page. Not everyone has a facebook like on their blog posts.
Hence get the likes on this link: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=59XXX . That is the link you need to circulate. Likes on your blog would be hard to track and cannot be considered.
How to win Editor's Choice
The 15 awards chosen by the editors, will NOT consider votes or likes. You just need to have some kickass content! Size doesn't matter, neither do votes! :)
Please share above thread to everyone who is taking part in the contest! All the best!
I've shared my post on the topic!! :) :) ..Gradually getting to know this place more now!! :D
All the best Kimi
I submitted two :D
Kya bro, here to ek likhne me watt lag geli.
Aap to do do pe sawaar ho Gaye guru Ji . Kuch gyaan idhar bhi dijiye.
Is it posssible that both your entries will win?
I submitted one more :D
Three, awesome dude,
Thanks Pramodji :)
@ RAJ Why don't you give your creative works to someone who is finding it difficult to write something? ![]()
Hope that all your three entries don't win the prizes. in that case, we will be left with none. ![]()

Hey, you are very generous and kind to say that :)
Hi vineet Ji, and all indies, my creation awaits your signatures. I hope I am not asking too much.
Will surely read it and comment on it!
thanks Vineet, My blog will be waiting earnestly
Pramodji as always beautiful post, different views presented... Loved it:)
Woww...I've been going through all the articles since yesterday and I am simply amazed on the thoughts and ways of expression.... The poems are mind blowing and I had to read and re-read certain other write ups just for the reason that they were so marvellous!! Hats off to all of you!! :) :)
Can't we use '+' sign in Indivine description? I used it in mine, and it has just vanished!!!
The description is looking somewhat messed up without that, Please help..
I think that you have simply forgotten to type a + sign. I think that we can use + for it is a symbol just like (.) that we often use.
Shall look into it. Can you share the link to the IndiVine post?
@ Vineet Rajan Here is the link: http://www.indiblogger.in/indipost.php?post=59481
@ Arti: I don't see a need for you to insert any + sign
@ Ranjith Thanks for giving the link to Vineet:)
@ Vineet
It was in between lens experience... What I meant to write was meaning of real beauty through my lens PLUS experience...
It goes well without the plus sign as well but it conveys a different meaning... It means that my post contains only pics whereas it contains pics plus my experiences which I have put down in poetic verses...
Please see if anything can be done...
@ Vineet Awaiting your response!!
@All
Read those beautiful blogs up for this contest... Deserves an applause... And its wonderful to see fellow contestants promoting and voting for one another... that is the beauty.... quite a healthy and encouraging contest :)
I would like to Thank everyone for promoting my blog... :) ... really appreciate
written very well...
Thank you manjulika :)
That is what IndiBlogger is all about: Supporting each other.
That is right Ranjith :)
N yes nice blog n post... Have FB liked your post too... :)
All the best to you
@ Anukriti So it was you, the only person to have liked my post on facebook. Thank you.
Seriously some of the posts submitted are just outstanding! And it's so amazin to see different people of different age from different backgrounds and their different views about the same thing - Real beauty! And they've done it so beautifully..God! I love this contest! ![]()
This indeed is a wonderful contest! Loved ur post amar :)
btw have FB Liked your post :) keep writing:)
Well said Amar, so many views... Makes for a great read... Loved your post:)
Well what i feel is that Facebook likes is okay till it promotes the brand/products and gives a chance to non-bloggers to vote. But I think that Editors should not decide the People's Choice, solely on FB votes... A person who has 1000+ friends (or more) will definitely get an edge over the others (he/she can ovbiously ask/convince his/her FB friends to vote on indivine FB "Like"- wherein atleast 200 would def. vote - family/close friends etc). On the other hand a person who keeps a low profile on FB is bound to get very few votes... I think the Editors should have an upper hand in deciding the final verdict... wat say?
Just a point of view... opinions might differ :)
I am toh not on facebook so I guess I will have no likes there!!!
For people like me, your idea is a great one... But then it is the peoples choice so I guess the rules are clear... Lets see...
I fall in that category you are talking about. I do not even have a facebook account and I don't like to ask my friends to vote for what I write. But still the facebook likes are to make the contest popular. one reason for the large number of entries is definitely the facebook promotion. If even non bloggers had a chance to participate, teh entries would ahve crossed 1000.
thats a valid point Ranjith and very well said... I appreciate :)
@Anukriti..Thanks..Done the same for you..;)..And you've 101 likes with that..!! I've some under 10..! Actually i didn't even kmow that non-indibloggers can like the thing too..!! Blame it on my ignorance since childhood of not reading rules completely!
@Arti..Thanks :)..It does not matter if you're not on facebook..I'm on facebook..I've some 700+ friends but believe me it ain't gonna make a difference..Reason - I'm a chartered accountancy student and have a large circle of the same! Even if i get them to like it..They'll ask me hundereds of question viz. What's this site? , What's this contest?, Can i register?, Is it still late for it?..Believe me i would rather prefer not having any likes! :P..They're all nerds! :-|..So if get a hard time with the likes and you're relying on the editor's award..Count me in too..;)...
Hehe I understand its better not to have any likes than answering those questions again and again... And anyways if you win and they come to know of it the party bill will surely exceed the prize money!!!!
@ Amar The People's choice award and the Editor's award does have a lot of difference. I would be happy even if get the last prize of the Editor's choice rather than getting People's choice award, by repeatedly asking everyone to like my entry on facebook.
Yeah! Woh kehte hain na hindi me ' Khaya piya kuch nahi, gilas phoda barana' !![]()
Yeah! Woh kehte hain na hindi me..' Khaya piya kuch nahi, gilas phoda barana'
..Btw arti share the link of your post..I'll like it via fb! ![]()
Thats very kind of you Amar, I appreciate your gesture... But it is not right to share links here...
Woh hindi mein kehte hain 'tumne bol diya aur wahi bahut hai' :):)
Hahaha..Sweet!I'll search your post myself :) Btw..News..I'm having a pretty hard time getting people to vote me..Most of the people ask..'Where's the like button?'..And suddenly I'm asking God 'What's the point of these eyes which don't work?' :P
Why don't you take a screenshot of the page and highlight the like button in dark red and send it to your friends?
Did you like it, it is showing 5 likes!! I cant even see who were the noble souls who liked!!
Arti Ji , those are real beauty souls.
+1 PramodJi
Yes Arti I liked it ![]()
How is it that you only get/hope to get hearts on a post when you give one?
It's a selfish world buddy!
Only a hope. But still the trick might not work with everyone.
The trick is not supposed to work with everyone.
Hi everyone,
There was a query raised about winning in multiple categories. Can't find it now! :( There are no restrictions, a blogger who has won the people's choice can also win the Editorial prize and vice versa. A blogger may submit as many entries as he/she wishes to increase chances of winning.
@ Vineet rajan How about this one? A person submitting ten entries. The panel of judges are not going to look into the bloggers name and they award almost all of the entries. The person them walks away with 100000+ 50000+ 50000 + ..... (Don't remember those numbers) Is that possible?
