@Ranjith - The second part literally means..' Didn't eat anything, Didn't drink anything and still broke the glass worth 12 annas'..:D..Funny aint't it?:P..Well what the saying in hindi means is..It didn't benefit me anyway but still took a large effort from me..!! :)

Yeah..I agree with you that the editor's choice is more of a importance..It is for me too..However I've observed one thing..That by putting the people's choice award via facebook likes..Non-bloggers are getting to know about bloggers like which they never knew exist and also about Indiblogger..So it's providing a great amount of exposure! My blog views tripled yesterday when i requested my friends to have a look at my post!

Hi Ranjit, Yes you are right. You can write 10 blog posts and if all them are deserving then all of them can win. However, I think we must give some credit to the editorial team at Yahoo! . They will surely read the blogger's name for every entry because that blogger gets featured on Yahoo as a featured blogger, but that won't stop them from handing multiple prizes to the same contestant if they find him/her deserving. 

So fire away! Keep blogging!

Unbelievable!

Hi,

I just want to state my opinion that submitting more than 1 article for the same topic doesn't make sense. As a blogger I feel that this topic should have some content from your heart and rather than based on popularity meter and other worldly fundae. Simply stating, to a person real beauty can mean only one thing. Right?  If you can state something different in all your articles then you could have stated them in one article on the first place.

Jus' a thought....

No offence to any ladies and laidaas... Laughing

Amar Ashok Jajoo

@Anu..I thought the same thing! The whole essence of this contest as i find is the realization one is gonna have about his idea od real beauty! That can be only one! Writing about different things to win it ruins the essence! Then again it's your and my opinion!

there ain't any like button...  Laughing

I completely agree with Anu(my nick name) and Amar(my father's name) :)... Very well said :)

Arti

Me too agrees!!

@Anukriti: Anu Mantra is my blog name not the real name...but Anu is my nick name too... Cool

Anu, I can say only one thing, as a writer one's mind constantly germinates new ideas. when he puts up an article, later he may feel another idea cropping up. there is no harm if he has the time and zeal to rack up brains to pen them down one more time. my mind works slowly and with outside support. I somehow put up one post.(thanks to supporters) sometimes I get the itch to write another but stamina deserts me. 

my salutations RAJ, on your unique feat.

Amar Ashok Jajoo
from Nagpur |

@Anukriti..Good to know I share the same name as your dad!:)..Btw..I was named Amar because I was born on 15th August ..Cool

Ranjith

I don't think that a writer needs to have just a single opinion on what beauty is. As @Pramod mentioned, opinions can keep changing. Are we the same person that we were yesterday?

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

Thanks Ranjith for seconding, I am strongly thinking to pester all friends again with one more creation,
Count down has begun, title created.
This time it will be a bombshell,

Arti
from Mumbai |

Hmmmm... Pramodji and Ranjith have a point there. 

You are also right Anu when you say that real beauty can mean only one thing but I feel that one single idea can also be presented in a number of ways. Like a same vegetable can be cooked up in a variety of ways, and each tastes different and each is unique yet it retains the flavor. Thats the real beauty of creativity and innovation, isnt it? And this blogging world being largely based on these two things, I think its ok to have more than one post featuring as long as the blogger does not contradict his opinions in the different posts.

Only problem I have is that they are increasing their chances which decreases my chances of winning since I have only one post up Laughing

Arti
from Mumbai |

Go for it Pramodji!!!

RioZee

Arti Ji , your writeup is really unique and mystique creation, no one can match it.
Cheers

RioZee

Contrary to the popular opinion tht I'm jobless n that I write, speak n ramble on the same point over and over again, lemme assure u - u may b right. I think my boss hs the same opinion about me too :)

Ouch, judgin by the reaction here, I may hv to plead guilty to having submitted three posts on this topic here. But I 'd like to think that all the three posts were different as chalk, cheese n... (dam, whts the third word here? :))

I think that if u luk at my three posts, it all revolves around one central theme but the treatment fr each is different.

  • Most Beautiful is bout a very close family friend who actually does all tht stuff I've written bout (I hd to change the name cos she didnt want her name der :))
  • The second post is on the same premise except the treatment ws on humor (ya I know, most of my attempts at humour end up only as attempts with unfortunately no humor in 'em :( ) :)
  • Third post is just a few gender differences on the perception of beauty (am sure there r a hundred of 'em :))

Totally different takes but on the same premise, u may agree.

So Anu, Amar, Anukriti and Arti, may I gently suggest to u guys (btw, liked ur posts ..superliked Anukriti's:)) tht if u do take the time n check out these three posts, I think(n hope :)) u'll realize that all the three posts r as different as chalk, cheese n... (dam, whts the third word here? :))

And thank u Pramodji for ur kind words n support..my respect towards u only grows with each passing day :)

hope this clarifies :)

happy blogging

:)

Hi Raj and everyone. Dove and yahoo want to read as many blogs as humanly possible to read ! So Raj, that you're writing more posts only shows more enthusiasm, which is good !

Let it not be a deterrent in writing more too ! End of the day , whether one writes on different perspectives is purely a decision of the blogger and something neither indiblogger or yahoo / dove want to stop or discourage !

All the best !

Amar Ashok Jajoo

Hey..Buddy..I don't know what's giving you an idea that you've to plead guilty here! Personally I feel that if you were able to pen down three posts on the same lines but written in a different manner ( btw i read all your posts..They are amazing..Have commented on them too i guess), you've done a brialliant job! Because I wouldn't be able to do that! So cheers to you man..:)..What I was trying to say was a opinion, may be because I felt I couldn't do it..:-|..

But in all I really feel you've done a great and beautiful job here! So kudos for that :)..And all the best for the contest! :)

Arti

Hey! Read my 2nd reply! have already given my vote for multiple posts! Dishing out 3 posts on the same topic, each unique and different from each other, is definitely not an easy task,... Hats off to you for your creativity mate seriously! I just gave my opinion and it was in no way directed towards you or anyone else here :) I am off to read your posts nowSmile

Arti
from Mumbai |

By the way how about chalk cheese and the good old indian chana!!!!

Raj Bhai,

My apologies...The statement I gave was not intended to spark controversies. I didn't even knew that you have submitted 3 post. The only thing I made a remark on was the mention that one can submit more than 1 post...

please don't hold it against me... Smile I'm one among you all in the blogger fraternity... Laughing

And you don't need to clarify yourself...Senti kyu ho gaye yaar aap... Tongue out

Submitting multiple entries really takes a lot..I submitted two..Wanted to do the third one..But I don't think it's gonna be there..Seriously kudos to people who have submitted multiple entries!

I love the contests on Indibloggers because it usually motivates me to write on topics which would not naturally come into my mind. Have been off blogging due to family issues, exams etc and so had to miss lot of previous contests. I usually rely on my life experience to write blogs and therefore I can submit just one blog for any contest. I have read some of the posts and have really liked most of them a lot. Wonderful job done by even some so far unknown bloggers to me. Best of luck to the best written entry.......

RioZee
from Out of this yEt in this World |

thanks farida ji, though only some are lucky to win, but the charm of participating is marvellous. it motivates to bring out the best in you. 

best wishes to all.

Arti
from Mumbai |

Yes Pramodji it definitely motivates to give your best...
All the Best :)

A message for all the people who are trying to hoard Facebook likes on their indivane entry even after the contest got closed on 6th june, their voted will not be counted. According to the mail I received from Indiblogger team about the query., they said that all the counting was done on 6th of June, the day the contest got closed and any hoarding will make no difference now!! :)

Here is the mail:

Hey Kimi,Sorry for not replying earlier - was traveling for a team member's engagement.Not to worry - FB likes were counted at the time the contest closed. Any hoarding now will not count. :-)Keep blogging,Renie Ravin

It was wonderful to read some absolutely beautiful thoughts . Contests are like writing challenge and lots of fun too. Results are awaited. May the best one win. Cool

Yes it was quite a lot of fun. However for me it turned out to be more that that. We were looking for some NGOs in France and Germany to coordinate our efforts, and the wait was going on from a long time. Through the article(God knows from where .. and how Smile) one of the NGOs contacted us and we are now taking some coordination steps with them. Its a great feeling.. Thanks so much Indiblogger..
