          4. In search of Freedom

            I participated - YOUR POST LINK
            I vote for -
            1. Sunjoo Krishna; his/her postlink = http://5foot5.blogspot.com/2011/08/best-things-in-life-are-free-oh-really.html
            2. Sulaiman Sait; his/her postlink = http://sulaimansait.blogspot.com/2011/08/evening-at-annanagar-streaking-around.html
            3. CRD; his/her postlink = http://scriptedinsanity.blogspot.com/2011/08/them-slaves_15.html

            This time somehow I did not enjoy the posts so much as I did last time. I found around 6 posts interesting in no specific order. I liked Sunjoo's post for humorosly saying something profound. CRD had built up humor nicely and the message was relavent too. It was interesting to see Sulaiman link a Travel post here, a genre that is quite rare here. I think once in the past Sureindran had written one on Malaysia. Others I liked were Sadiya for her twisted humor, D2 for his human representation of Gaiaia and Aativas for his interesting character creation. But among the six for which I had no specific order of preference. I went for the 3 I have never voted for before and who also have never won Blog-a-ton before. Last time my vote helped Sadiya maker her debut on the medals list. Maybe this time I can help someone else.
