When, Vipul asked me to share my BAT experience here, was I thrilled?? Well, that’s putting it mildly.
So, here’s my BAT experience from A to Z…
| An ‘Aha’ Experience… | Awesome!! Amazing!! has been my BAT experience. No, I am not saying this coz, I am doing the guest post here. And believe me, neither did Vipul ask me to say so!! |
| Blogging Marathon… | BAT is a blogging marathon par excellence. All the activities, announcements are on time, as per the schedule. That’s something commendable! |
| Cool Comments | Needless, to say that BAT posts always receive the maximum comments, which is like elixir for any blogger! |
| Diverse Diversity | It’s always awe-inspiring to see such diverse thoughts and expressions on a topic. |
| Excellent Exposure | Looking for that perfect exposure in the blogosphere?? BAT is the platform!! |
| Friends Forever | Have found some wonderful people here. Thank you BAT!! |
| Great Experience | The whole process of deliberating, expressing, sharing, understanding, learning at BAT is a great experience. |
| Hats Off | Hats off to Vipul for hosting such a wonderful contest. |
| Ideas Galore | A BAT post which was on a format of a research paper, simply floored me. There have been pretty innovative and imaginative ways of presentation of BAT posts…Lists, A to Z, Puzzles, Picture Posts… |
| Journey Joyous | 12 months and 12 BAT posts with a winner post too is a joyous journey, truly! |
| Knowledge Everywhere | Knowledge is the food of the soul… and I got it in abundance at BAT. |
| Learning Experience | BAT has opened my world to newer forms of expressions viz Drabble, Minisaga, Cinquain, Haiku, 77 Fiction, Mirror poetry… |
| Midnight Oil It Is… | Somehow, I have always written for BAT on a late Friday night. May be subconsciously the idea is, “Early bird…” :D |
| New Networks | BAT has been a wonderful platform for networking too. |
| OMG!! | There have been many ‘OMG moments’ with BAT. An amazing write-up, an unexpected twist, a beautiful and poignant tale, an appreciative feedback… all left that lingering wonderful feeling. |
| Plus Plus Plus… | Being a part of BAT has been ALL PLUS + PLUS… and not a single Minus!! |
| Quite a Lot Coming Together | With each BAT, more of our brethren are coming together and blogging together. That’s something cool! |
| Reading Galore | With each new edition of BAT, the number of posts to read is on the rise. So the more you read, the more you learn… |
| Some Serious Fun | Yeah, BAT is some serious fun!! I had loads of it!! |
| Topics | The topics have been great for almost all the BATs. Though, there were a couple of them, which I didn’t fancy much. |
| United We Stand | BAT is unity in action! Truly! |
| Vote for… | Ah! This has been the toughest part. |
| Winner is… | Refreshing the BAT page every other second after the deadline (10 or 11 pm), to know the winner would surely cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, some day! |
| Xtra Xtra For… | You get extra marks, extra love, extra fun for good writing at BAT! |
| Your Post on Your Blog! | Nothing could be better than this and I’m lovin’ it!! |
| Zeal and Zest Continues… | A year with BAT but my zeal and zest to participate in BAT continues. How about you?? |
Cheers :)
