Blog-a-Ton is back.. Lets make it 3 times lucky!!!

Date for Blog-a-Ton 3 : October 3, 2009
Topic declaration : September 26, 2009

So here we are back with the third edition of Blog-a-Ton after conducting two successful ones in the last two months.

Membership has been increasing all this time. So lets welcome the latest members first of all.
I must thank all of you for replying the couple of queries last time. On the basis of the general consensus reached there, we will continue with a single topic for the Blog-a-Ton 3 too.

So with this, I invite your suggestions for the topic for Blog-a-Ton 3. Please keep the following things in mind while suggesting.
  • The topic should be general in scope, so that more and more Blog-a-Tonics can participate.
  • Before suggesting, go through the previous ones for sure.
  • If you like any of those, VOTE for them rather than giving a new suggestion.
  • If you like a suggested topic but don't like the wordings, still VOTE for it and alongside suggest a new title for it.
  • Give your suggestions and votes in the comments section of this post.
  • Please keep these points in mind to make our job easier.
Kindly volunteer to compile all the suggestions every third day and post them together in the comments section to help others.

Looking forward to some interesting suggestions
Yours blog-a-tonically

  9. Hey Hi,
    I like this topic very nice...

    2.Will the world end in 2012?

    Other than that...I have a funny topic to nominate..

    1. Office Space, things that you see in office...

    ReplyDelete
  10. oh correction...

    1. Office/College/School space there u write incident u saw or felt in ur school/college/office...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Overtly political topics will just be a regurgitation of what's being parroted in the media. There are dime a dozen pundits doling out public opinion on it.

    My 2 Cents

    1. Indian Dream -- Not overtly political. It is open to interpretation like Vipul noted.

    If we want to showcase creativity a more generalistic tone of (1) may help too.

    2. I have a dream -- can be for you/India/or just a dream

    3. The best day of my life

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hmm... I like:

    1)I have a dream

    2)Office space

    My suggestion:

    I read books because...

  13. Hi :)
    I like:

    1.I have a dream -- can be for you/India/or just a dream

    2.The best day of my life

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hi,
    I like
    :-Indian Dream
    we will be having entirely different views from everybody, and of all types,
    ..with this topic

    ReplyDelete
  15. I have a funny topic:

    Getting Married/ Making of a Marriage:-

    A marriage is a comedy of errors, and everybody sees it differently. Those who are getting married and those who are helping to get married have a totally opposite views. It would be fun to write and read about this topic.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like Mr. Pramathesh™ Borkotoky's Getting Married/ Making of a Marriage, too
    It will make a great topic, challenging and versatile!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I like "Thunders and Blunders of last 62 years" topic.. Indian dream also looks good but what exactly is Indian Dream? I did not understand the topic- Is it a dream about India? or dream of an Indian?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Austerity drive of Politicians - your views
    could be a nice one to blog in my opinion in the keepin in mind the recent past

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have a dream is also a great one to blog

    ReplyDelete
  20. @avada kedavra..
    Well, the beauty of the topic "Indian dream" is that it has no definite meaning. So u hav d freedom 2 intrprt it d way u want.. This solves two problems - Writers block due to constrained topic and secondly, a single topic for everyone keeping with the theme of blog-a-ton :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Ashwini


    Its just the DESI version of American Dream........hope u get the point.
    We Indians too have certain dreams and aspirations about ourselves and about our country.


    Cheers yaar

    ReplyDelete
  22. its OPEN to different interpretations as pointed out by Vipul.

    ReplyDelete
  23. hey I think we should drift a little from serious topics am Game for
    1)Office space ,or Boss v/s You,types of Bosses lolssss

    ReplyDelete
  24. Office space ,or Boss v/s You is a very specific topic.. Its not meant for students, unemployed or self employed ppl and i blive many r like this here. Plz go for genral topics.
    Secondly, its upto the blogger how he/she deals with the topic. Even Teachers : Aaj Kal seems too serious bt take a cue from Sid, Ajinkya and Aneet, the way they prsntd it, full of humour and wit.

    ReplyDelete
  25. point taken sir you are right ...but can be modified to . Office/College/School space there u write incident u saw or felt in ur school/college/office...

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Sweet nothings

    Office/College/School space there u write incident u saw

    The problem is anybody can fake it!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Sweet nothings, @Indian Pundit,


    Office/College/School space there u write incident u saw
    The problem is anybody can fake it!!


    Try a more generic "All in a Day's Work" or "All in a Day".

    ReplyDelete
  28. @ Vipul

    I admire your initiative. I have just joined this place :)

    I vote for-Indian Dream! vague and yet going to be interesting with different perpectives from everyone. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Madhu.. yup, u r right.. I was bout 2 request d same thing frm those who suggest the topic.. tht pls provide some concrete catchy title rather than some abstract thoughts..
    'All in a Day's work' sounds good.. or we may also have sumthing like. 'It happened to me'.
    However, I'll stick with The Indian Dream :)

    @Aditya.. thanx a lot.. u r welcome 2 blog-a-ton.

    ReplyDelete
  30. hmmm..... it looks like The Indian Dream has mass support.

    ReplyDelete

  36. oops vipul u already replied here!!(and i am posting questions in IB..LOL)and i dint kno this(i hate to comment on blogger blogs with wp identity..i rarely get a notification so that i can track back...)

    Indian dream is a nice suggestion ..because it would be subjective to people..!!like my content and other contents can have huge differences..yet we may speak about the same thing..our India..

    PS:pls somehow try to add that TRACK COMMENT VIA MAIL OPTION here..

    ReplyDelete
  37. Vipul,
    Blog-a-ton has seen a phenomenal growth, but I found the topic selection process of the previous editions better.
    But nevertheless "Indian Dream sounds better"

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wow,I would love to join this. I like The Indian Dream,And the Office/college/School topic.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The most nostalgic news I have heard would be - Doordarshan turning 50..

    My suggestions :

    1) Doordarshan - what changed in 50 years in the "darshan" of Indian TV?
    2) Austerity - Suggest the society ways to live austere effectively.
    3) A vote for the topic Indian Dream in the most general forms.
    4) Instead of school/college/office, how about just All in a day? Your one special day's experience whatever be it...

    ReplyDelete
  40. "All in a day" is another nice suggestion...

    ReplyDelete
  41. @Narendra.. Track comment via email option is already thr buddy..
