DATE FOR BLOG-A-TON 13 : AUGUST 7, 2010
TOPIC DECLARATION : JULY 31, 2010

In the last one month Blog-a-Ton has achieved new heights on the occasion of its first anniversary. BAT 12 saw 70 entries competing for the BATOM award which was for the first time given to three BATonics including the runner-ups. We also successfully held BAT Meets in the cities of New Delhi, Mumbai and Pune. You were also introduced to the BATonics who had participated in the first editon of BAT and have been regulars ever since. I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

Before I open the BAT 13, lets welcome the new Blog-a-Tonics;

On the basis of the voting on this blog and on Facebook, we have narrowed down to just 3 Topics.


You have to vote for one of the following suggestions only.
    1. 13
    2. Goodbye
    3. Freedom
Please go through the following rules before voting;
  • While voting, also mention the serial number, the topic has. For example, '3. Freedom'
  • You should help in pruning down this list by voting for any of these topics even if you had suggested or voted for some other topic earlier.
  • Give your votes in the comments section of this post.
  • Do not embolden your comment using HTML bold tag.
  • Please keep these points in mind to make my job easier.
In case a comment is not posted according to these rules, it will be deleted.

  2. since 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 ;)

  5. 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.
    PS: Waiting for Leo's suggestion, the winning suggestion...

  15. Since August 1st is Friendship Day, why not something on friendship and friends?

    I suggest "Friendship" or simply "Friends".

  20. extremely confused..each topic seems as intriguing as the other..ummm..

    4. Love letter

    though I still have a few other choices :P

    ReplyDelete
  21. out of all the above, I like two topics. I couldn't decide on one so lemme tell you both...

    I like jinxed and Goodbye

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hmmm.. I suggest "Online Friendship : A False Positive?"

    ReplyDelete
  23. I will stick to my "Dream" Vipul...:)

    My dream is to win...just dream, no harm, right???

    ReplyDelete
  24. P.S.

    I beg of you fellow BAT writers, "Dream" is nice isn't it?

    So why not "Dream" for the rest who have not suggested yet...:))

    ReplyDelete
  25. Friends, I am not sure if the topic discussion is going the right way.

    Topics 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

    ReplyDelete
  26. Vote for any of the following -

    1. Jinxed (or Superstition)
    2. Another
    3. Freedom
    4. 13
    5. Took my breath away
    6. Goodbye
    7. Life
    8. Lunacy
    9. Friends

  30. So many votes for relativity... :P
    is this a true measure of the demographic of indian blogosphere?
    13 or relativity

    ReplyDelete
  31. i vote for *another* since my dream was phased out...:P

    ReplyDelete
  32. relativity was ruled out :P so i go for Life :D

    ReplyDelete
  33. 8 : Lunacy .

    Many 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 !!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. There is hardly anybody who has voted for the topic Jinxed, which happens to be my first choice..
    So I'll stick to my second option Goodbye.

    Goodbye it is.
