Celebration Time!!

Last night, Vipul Grover, the Host, Creator, Initiator of the Blog-a-Ton, sent me a mail. It was “Congratulations” in a Mail!


Yeah, Congratulating for winning the First Blog-a-Ton, the Blogging Marathon!!


And I was truly stumped!! Didn't expect it, honestly.


No, I am not being modest! Coz, though only 12 FBs had participated this time, (We sure will have more than a Ton, next time!!), all the blog posts were unique and each had a very refreshing and a novel approach to the topic, The Cream and Scum of Blogging!!


So, though, it kind of, feels good to be the first recipient of the ‘Blog-a-Tonic of the Month’ award.


I’d take this as an opportunity to congratulate and thank all the fellow bloggers: Arjuna,Saimanohar,Dhiman, Avdi, Daisy Blue, Sid 'Ravan' Kabe, Shankar, Vipul Grover, Bharathi,Ranee, Ranee again and Pawan, who took the initiative to participate and then enthusiastically commented, supported and appreciated the FB’s posts.


And a BIG thank you to all the fellow readers and friends for their BIG support!! :)


So, lets celebrate, as we all made the first Blog-a-Ton a big success!!

And I guess, we all can’t wait to participate in the next Blog-a-Ton!!

  16. @ IndianPundit: Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

    Examples:
    1. Green frog,
    Is your body also
    freshly painted?

    2.Sick and feverish
    Glimpse of cherry blossoms
    Still shivering.
