Blog-a-Tonic of the Month - October 2009!

Blog-a-Ton 3 was definitely Bigger and Better.

Do not miss to visit the two late entries from Amit and Prabhjot, which though were not considered for voting but take the total number of participants to 40.

With 42 entries coming from 40 blog-a-tonics, it makes our mission of participation by 100 blog-a-tonics, look achievable in future.

The icing on the cake this time was the variety of presentation - poems, cinquains, short stories, 55 Fiction, dialogues, cartoons and video presentations added to the usual articles.

Definitely, everyone had a difficult time choosing their favourite post.

Before we move further, lets welcome the new Blog-a-Tonics:

• Pushkala
• Rashmi
• Meghana 
• Vicki
  
• Indian Home Maker
• Meow
  
• Nishi (Please provide us your Bloglink to be blogrolled)

For those who missed to visit Madhu's IndiMag post, here is the video presentation. It might take time to load and viewing, but definitely you won't repent seeing it. I hope it inspires you to become a part of this Indian Dream-1 through 10 for India.



Now coming back to the award, first of all, lets see the badge award, the BATOM wins this time:

It has been designed by our fellow Blog-a-Tonic, Siddhesh Kabe aka Sid aka Ravan aka Sid 'Ravan' Kabe.
Thanks a lot buddy for this gesture.This is the community feeling at its best.

Coming to voting trends, there was 77.5 % polling, i.e. out of 40 eligible voters 31 casted their votes.
I hope in future, every eligible voter exercise this right to make Blog-a-Ton, a bigger success.
Afterall, it should not happen that a Blog-a-Tonic takes home the award without casting his/her vote.

So finally bringing these announcements to a halt, I present to you the BATOM for Oct 2009 -
