I did get shortlisted in the 'Crime' category among the top two stories but fell short in the end. Sigh... winning and losing are all part of the game, right?
I just wanted to thank all those of you who took the trouble to vote for me. Even though I didn't win, it was nice to have your votes and see you all had my back when I asked for help. Hopefully, next time I will win.
P.S. I'm totally messing with you all.

ReplyDelete:) It was worth a try.
DeleteCongratulations, Your Highness the Sultan of Blogpuri III !!
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone does it correctly. 8-)
DeleteCongrats :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sumana...
DeleteHis Highness the Sultan of Blogpuri III, as a social activist, I protest the increase in taxes and specially being forced to pay for KFC pieces--totally against my beliefs! I demand, instead that you serve your readers faithfully by writing a special piece dedicated to them (ahem, me included). If you dont, I will start a blogfast!!!
ReplyDelete(PS: Congrats! Proud and awed...how do you win so many prizes. Teach me na to write something sensible for a change:))
Blasphemy ! :-t Do you know how tough it is being the Sultan? The prices of basic food items like KFC and lobster are so high these days. I'm barely able to fill the petrol in my five Ferraris from the taxes I'm earning. cheer
DeleteP.S. Thanks. And mine is a nothing skill. You are the real hero in my eyes for what you do and the troubles you take.
Typical..so typical, all these #HHSB...there I go to Jantar Mantar to blogfast...
DeleteAlleyo Maharajan ! Vandanam! Maharajavu Neenal Vaazhatte !
ReplyDeleteAdiyande congratulations sweekarichalum!
;-)
Ah yes.. my faithful blogger friend. Teach these people how to respect me and I will grant you free land... sorry, blog space extending from your blog till Sukupedia's! (h)
DeleteHa! I knew you would win. After all it never has happened that I voted for someone and they lost :d
ReplyDeleteHaha.. thanks Bhavya. It did make a difference.
DeleteCongratulations Sultan ! (h)
ReplyDeleteNow i know what to do with the forgotten week old KFC morsels in the back of my fridge :))
You may think I'm too high for all that but I accept leftovers too. Being a Sultan with followers who dont pay taxes can be really tough
Delete;-(
(o) he he! u almost pulled that one off...congrats once again Your Highness! There... now I get KFC for addressing you that way! :d
ReplyDeleteYes.. one free chicken wing, one fiery grilled chicken leg and 8 and a half french fries for you. 8-)
DeleteCongratulations, Roshan!! Next time you're in Mumbai, I'll take you to KFC. :)
ReplyDeleteYayyy ! This is why she's my favourite gal !! x-)
DeleteEverybody, learn from her !!
that's so nice, Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteThanks DJ :D
DeleteHey, many congratssss :>) yah, now we know what to expect when u start showing off :p
ReplyDeletewhat about those seeds you were sowing? :p i liked that one more :)
Haha. Thanks Karanth. Sadly, those seeds I sowed didn't make it into the final list. They were both under same genre (Crime) so in the end, only one would have won anyway. And you know what? I honestly dont know which one I like better. Both are different in tone and I kinda like them both for the anti-hero characters they bring out.
Delete:) i understand... its like the that question to parents, who is your fav kid? (asking in front of all the kids :p ) difficult to choose from :-) keep up the good work :>)
DeleteCongrats. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Man.
DeleteRoshan... very nice :) I had voted without reading it in between some deadline tasks... good you got it
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharni. I was actually thinking of you a few days back and went to message you on FB... didnt find you there? :-?

ReplyDeleteQuestion: What did you do to Sultans I and II?
