  • 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.

  5. "Messy men OR urban legend?"

    ~Are men really messy or is it just a myth?

    Let's make this blog-a-ton-9 and NOT lame-a-ton-1! Really.

  6. I may sound a bit off track but we are nearing 23rd March. 3 young boys, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar n Hariram Rajguru, sacrificed their lives for us 2 liv in an independent india on 23rd march 1931.

    Shouldn't we bloggers pay our respects to them?

    i suggest- "Sacrifice"

  7. its summer time..! escape from school and college for 2 months!

    how about "ESCAPE"? it has other possibilities too...! :)

  8. I second Sid's suggestion and propose the topic "The Biggest Fool". I believe that it will again spawn a wide variety of interesting posts.

    @ Aneet: I do not think any of the Blog-a-tons till date has been lame! That was a ridiculous thing to say... Every topic has posed its own challenges and has manifested in different expressions and interpretations.

  17. Nobody like Cricket? Its IPL ka season guys...

  18. @debosmita?

    What I am not allowed to have an opinion now? And notice I said "Lets not make it lame-a-ton-1" which implies that all topics so far have been good and we wouldn't want a lame topic now. So the next time you feel like saying something, think and then think some more.

  19. Thanks guys for wanting to dedicate this month's topic to me. Am i also allowed to support a dedication to me? If so I also vote for the topic.

    suggested title - 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread' - the catch line of my profile.

  21. @The Fool

    What does the title mean 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread', i.e. in the context of your profile really? Interesting one though.

    ReplyDelete
  22. @ aneet - In the biblical context it means fools do not think what they are doing and undertake dangerous acts which even angels fear to undertake without even thinking of the consequences. In my case I interpret the fool to be a brave adventurer who explores new realms of thought which the cream of the society 'the angels' fear to explore.

  23. I second Ravan's "Fool". Simpler and open for interpretations..

    ReplyDelete
  24. @ Aneet: I do not want to get into a discussion about interpretations and why you suddenly felt the need to say "let's not make it a lame-a-ton" when according to you, none of the other topics have been lame and why in your previous comments in other posts, you had once said that all the topics you feel have been school-essayish etc etc... without going into all that, I am happy to observe that you agree with me on the point that none of the Blog-a-tons till date have been lame.
    Cheers to that...
    P.S. I think, therefore I write

  25. Seems like "The Biggest Fool' is the most popular topic. In case there is no support for "Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread", I also vote for "The Biggest Fool".

    ReplyDelete
  26. I vote for the "fool" .... why dont we just have a bit more flexibility?? instead of choosing betwn "fool", 'The Biggest Fool' or 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread', why dont we just have a vote on whether we can choose any subject with the word 'fool' in the topic? It could be just fool, biggest fool, greatest fool, april fool...anything. Allows for a bit more creativity.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hmm.. I take back my suggestion of "Escape" and go with the topic "The Fool".

    However, I second Swayambhu's suggestion that contributions could get more creative if anything related to "Fool" is accepted. a bit more flexible, as he says.... rest is up to Marshal I guess :)

  28. The Biggest Fool or Fool, anything will do :-)

  29. well the majority seem to be with the fool... so am with it too... I vote for the fool

    ReplyDelete
  30. "Fool" sounds good, I'd rather side with the original sid here, but I can't accept that April is the fools month......it is not!

    Well @nethra.....there sure are many fools in cricket too.....I love cricket but I am afraid I am not that good at sports writing :(
