  3. This comes to me as one of the greatest surprises :-) Honestly.

    I always try to participate in BAT This is my 18th BAT post BTW.

    What I like about BAT most is that it brings out a large canvas of perceptions and expressions. I love the variety and have always enjoyed the creativity. For me it is less about votes and more about joy, an opportunity to share.

    Once I thought about writing 'please do not consider my post for voting'. But as I realized that hardly anyone was voting for my post, I dropped that great 'humble' idea :-)

    Thanks you so much to all for reading and for appreciating the post. Hope we will continue reading each others' blogs and continue to grow and learn.

  4. Aativas, Vikram and Sadiya - Congratulations!!!! Was absolutely sure that Sadiya's post would win hands down. This time, we had so many brilliant posts, I almost went bald worrying about which one to drop. I even thought of not voting this time, to save the guilt, but that would have been boorish on my part...!
    See u all at the next B-A-T..!! and once more Congrats Winners!

  10. Congrats, winners. I am glad aativas won after 18 atempts. I have always liked his posts and voted for him twice earlier on, but was the only one. This time I did not, but luckily that did not prevent him from winning. But unfortunately my vote was the decider between Shilpa and Sadiya. Guess it is fine. Shilpa has won twice. Think this is the first time for Sadiya. Congrats, Sadiya. Sorry, Shipa. And congrats to Vikram as well, another on I vote for this time.

    Thanks Sunjoo and Shilpa for voting for me. Every vote brings me delight. One can always pontificate about writing for its own sake and all that. But at the end of the day, one does need encouragement to keep going at a activity that takes hours and hours of your time bringing no monetary rewards.
