Platinum Day of Love contest
For the first time, we have a contest where the prizes are jewelry!
My email read out-
We are glad to receive your participation for this contest. Not just one but you told us two heartfelt stories.
However, we are sorry that in spite of writing a real post with so much of unique content and in depth love, you still failed to lure us. If only you could have given us some free marketing and advertising there including ripping off our ads on TV and making a post out of it, we would have given you some prize. So you see neither you are top blogger nor someone who wins top prizes with Indiblogger team nor are you rich enough to ever buy our products, we could not choose you a winner [damn everybody has a love story].
However if you wish, we can give you an open offer wherein we will pay you tons of money if only you promise to never write anything for our contests[ with any faint-est of expectation for any appreciation] and dare not share you life and it's complexity in hope of winning prizes.
Love
Team Platinum [ jwellery that you can never afford]
It is not important if you can afford the jewelery...what matters is whether your Boy Friend / Husband / Partner can afford them..
Cograts to the Winners. Well done! Finally, one result out of the bag.
It looks like a clean sweep for the gals! I guess they deserved it. Poor me
congrats to the winners...It seems judges gave the best prize to the real story written by Sweta...Nice story indeed and that too explained in short..May be the true story impressed judges.....
You mean to say, we all have written fake/ untrue stories? and thats why we did not win?
Thanks for liking my post Mohit :)
I reeived this message sometime in September 2013... after going for an event at a jewelry showroom via FB...
Sub:You've been selected for a special surprise
Hi,
We’ve heard your love story and now all of Mumbai can hear it too!
Popular Radio Jockey, Nilesh Mishra is featuring platinum love stories on his acclaimed show – Yaadon Ka Idiot Box on 92.7 Big FM, and we think your story of love would be perfect for the upcoming show. And just so that we touch even more hearts, we also plan on filming a video to share online.
If you could kindly send us your contact number via email, we would be happy to fill you in on the additional details and give the city this lovely gift of love.
Best Wishes,
Platinum Day of Love.
Hey with due respect to others, out of all, this one seemed really real...
You should have gone for it...
AA, We wanted to go... were negotiating about the video... hubby was not comfortable being part of the video..
But they said it was mandatory to do the video. So had to give it a miss.
The PR agency tried to even bribe us with a holiday package, but hubby just would give in. hehehhe
Men in this forum should not be disheartened at all..since their productline is for women and women are their bigger clientele they had to target and promote women bloggers...even though it is the men who pay for these jewellary..;P
hahaha
Platinum is for ladies...so no wonder why they chose only ladies..but this was a big prize indeed...congrats all
Hey,
Someone from the Platinum group dropped a wonderful comment on my post stating -

Clueless about what to reply as seriously, my post was PURE Fiction...Lol!
Did anybody else receive such A comment?
BTW - I felt really happy after reading this comment

Enjoyed writing for this one! :D
Congrats to all the winners. Great stuff.
This begins the losing run on my second innings. Hope I am able to break my record from my first innings before some sponsor deems to break my record with some consolation prize like they did in the first innings.
Congratulations to all the winners! All 4 of you wrote beautifully and straight from the heart. Very well deserved!
A very congratulations to all the winners
Congrats to all winners

Thank you everyone. Ranjith, Anita.,Bushra, Ayesha,Priyanka (for emailing me)Rachana i loved your post.
Thanks so much, Heena!
Congratulations to all the winners! Went through all of them - fabulous posts! :)
BTW: I noticed that bloggers who have written real life stories have won... Didn't find any fictional post... guess it would have been best if I had missed this one :/ Anyways, the topic was lovely, really enjoyed writing on it!
Moral - Write 5-6 posts - one fictional, one real, one with pictures, one literary
Congrats to all the Winners- Sweta, Rachna, Sakshi & Heena.
This V Day will be special with the cool Platinum prizes. Cheers!
Thanks so much!
