As it is BAT 13, going with the number, I suggest JINXED !!!
ReplyDeletesince 13 is considered as an unlucky number due to may superstitions, how about the topic "superstitions" for BAT 13? and august month even has friday the 13th ;)

Kudos to Vipul,great job man :)

Hello Vipul;
ReplyDeleteAm first to suggest....
I wish to suggest "DREAM"!!!
Hope this merits the majority's approval...;-)
Happy weekend to all...!!!
My suggestion for BAT 13 would be, "LOVE LETTER", the most toughest topic to pen down but it gives a opportunity to express ourselves to the max.
ReplyDeletePS: Waiting for Leo's suggestion, the winning suggestion...
Yours Frendly,
Saravana Kumar M
Righto. 70 last time... Hope its more this time.
ReplyDeleteMy topic suggestion is: ANOTHER.
Lot of different genre posts can come for this I think. :)
(PS: my nets acting cranky, apologies if my comment has come more than once)
Hey, I think we should do 'Freedom' this time to celebrate the 15th of August. What say guys? :D

I am confused on which one to choose...:) So finally I decided to suggest a topic: 'Conversation with God' :P
ReplyDeleteAt this rate we'll never be able to lock down on one! :P PLEASE Marshal make people select and not suggest now on. :D This appears to be a challenging BAT from the selections itself..13th it is..hehehe
ReplyDeleteSince August 1st is Friendship Day, why not something on friendship and friends?
ReplyDeleteI suggest "Friendship" or simply "Friends".
My suggestion is 10.Relativity.Haven't seen many blog posts which throws perspective on this.
ReplyDelete10.Relativity
ReplyDeleteAs m new to blog-a-ton, please tell me how give my blog's link for getting blogrolled
ReplyDelete5. Another
ReplyDeleteThis topic leaves the field wide open and one is only limited by ones imagination :)
Hell so many suggestions last time was good for only three choices .. ok so 1 it is I am choosing 1. Jinxed as the Topic for BAT-13
ReplyDeleteextremely confused..each topic seems as intriguing as the other..ummm..
ReplyDelete4. Love letter
though I still have a few other choices :P
dream 3
ReplyDeleteRelativity sounds nice. :)
ReplyDeleteout of all the above, I like two topics. I couldn't decide on one so lemme tell you both...
ReplyDeleteI like jinxed and Goodbye
Hmmm.. I suggest "Online Friendship : A False Positive?"
ReplyDelete4. Love Letter
ReplyDeleteI challenge you to vote for "13" :P
ReplyDeleteI will stick to my "Dream" Vipul...:)
ReplyDeleteMy dream is to win...just dream, no harm, right???
P.S.
ReplyDeleteI beg of you fellow BAT writers, "Dream" is nice isn't it?
So why not "Dream" for the rest who have not suggested yet...:))
Friends, I am not sure if the topic discussion is going the right way.
ReplyDeleteTopics like Love Letter, Online Friendship, Conversation with God and Long Distance Love are just too narrow in scope. We are looking for more abstract topics which give full freedom to the blogger to write about.
Topic like Dream is too similar to Wish and What if which have already been the topics in previous BATs.
Relativity has been suggested by someone anonymously and as per rules it can't be considered.
I should have brought this up earlier and being a little busy over the weekend collated the topics in a hurry.
so I am posting a new list of possible topics
Vote for any of the following -
ReplyDelete1. Jinxed (or Superstition)
2. Another
3. Freedom
4. 13
5. Took my breath away
6. Goodbye
7. Life
8. Lunacy
9. Friends
Lunacy.
ReplyDelete6. Goodbye
ReplyDeleteNo. 4) 13
ReplyDeleteVery apt for 13th BAT :D
4. 13 - it is apt and a range of stuff can be covered as well within the topic.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not providing link. Please blogroll.

Hiyaa
Hi
ReplyDeleteWell am new here & wondering if I can participate as well? my blog link
http://whisperingsilence.wordpress.com
& I'd vote for 5.Took my breath away..
:)
My vote goes to "Freedom"
ReplyDeleteSo many votes for relativity... :P
ReplyDeleteis this a true measure of the demographic of indian blogosphere?
13 or relativity
i vote for *another* since my dream was phased out...:P
ReplyDeleteI vote for No.4 - 13.
ReplyDeleteReally apt :D
Lunacy.
ReplyDeleterelativity was ruled out :P so i go for Life :D
ReplyDeletePS: No.7
ReplyDelete8 : Lunacy .
ReplyDeleteMany of the other topics such as life , freedom r mere offshoots of a lunatic mind.. You cant have a life or b free if you dont live on the edge.. for only a lunatic can change the set rules n break free !!!
There is hardly anybody who has voted for the topic Jinxed, which happens to be my first choice..
ReplyDeleteSo I'll stick to my second option Goodbye.
Goodbye it is.
