For me its time for a sabbatical, my fingers are swollen and eyes strained weeding those duplicate votes out of the system, some who did it with finesse and some with plain brute force. But the Indipukies or the Indifloggies, should definitely go to the admirers of one meena who flogged the system with such ingenious email ids, you would wish you had one for each mood of yours. Savor these:
meenaelectric@gmail.com, meenaserious, meenasharp, meenaquiet, meenaawake, meenasame, meenanecessary, meenatrue, meenageneral, meenadifferent, meenaready, meenaequal, meenacertain, meenalong, meenaprobable, meenaearly, meenagreen, meenaable, meenaautomatic, meenadeep, meenarough, meenasmooth, meenacomplex, meenasolid, meenaseparate, meenakind, meenaloud, meenabright, meenaelastic, meenachemical, meenadifferent, meenanatural, meenafull, meenachief, meenapresent, meenasecret, meenagood, meenaboiling, meenaclean and meenaclear amongst host of others. The only solace is that apart from jurors being
threatened and organizers being
offered lipstick no browsers were harmed during the process.

Thank you Debashish for conducting the Indibloggies. An awesome effort.
Congratulations to all the winners, and good on the organizers to put in place a system by which the best can be recognized and appreciated.
Congrats winners! Kudos to Indibloggies team for organizing this healthy competition and surfacing the best Indian blogs.
I am absolutely not surprised at the 'meena' deluge. Even in the foodblogger awards that happened about two months ago, I saw a certain blog that obviously looked self promoted in EVERY EXISTING CATEGORY. When I saw the same name nominated in the indibloggies in the food blog category, I knew how it got nominated and I had lost hope. Thankfully, sanity prevailed and a most deserving blog won in the food blog section. People do go to some extent in their desperation for fame - even if it is only online.
Congratulations to Debashish, and all the winners.! For the Marathi blog's award, I am happy to see that the best (http://tulipsintwilight.blogspot.com) has prevailed.
Keep blogging to the best, you all.!
