Ideally I should have had a really funny story to tell you guys and somehow sneaked this bit of news in, but ideal is not happening at the moment so here goes - My blog got nominated for Funniest Indiblog of the Year. I know what you're thinking and yea, I'm as clueless as you guys as to how exactly this happened (maybe, Indiblogger was trying to assert their personal sense of humour by adding me to the list).
At this juncture, its pretty clear where I stand - the same place Kenya did when they qualified for the semi-finals in the World Cup in 2003 (Worthy of Ripley's Believe It Or Not, yea?).
But I'm standing, and if I'm representing one half of humanity, I guess I must have done SOMETHING right.
You can vote for me, here. [Most humourous Indiblog category]
Thank You!
Update:
After reading this, I felt I should say a bit about what I write, exactly. My posts are generally about the planet's most happening people, like my grandmother (she's been happening for the past 80 years) and I also provide some extreme reporting about events most people don't have access to (like my father's 4th cousin's grandson's wedding) not to mention some random bursts of high class wit (Which explorer got featured in the Mahabharata? Vasco Da Bheema!).
But yes, I try to make people smile, mostly at my own expense. Variety is not exactly my biggest strength - if you've been reading this blog, you'd notice how the central theme of almost every post is my (sometimes dysfunctional) parents.
I am openly amazed that I even got shortlisted, what with the worship-worthy Son Of Bosey and quite possibly the funniest man in India, Mr.Shenoy (My money's on these guys).
I admit. I know I'm not as funny as them, I know my chances of "winning" this is as good as the women's bill being passed in the Parliament. But I also know, that I am the prettiest girl on that list. :D

Adhukenna, potuta pochu....

ReplyDeleteJokes aside, vote potaachu :)
Congratulations.....on the nomination ...now get ready to be surprised ...(or not) !!
ReplyDeleteAhem.. too much modesty :) I have voted, not for you, but for your "happening" paati - solely and simply on the strength of one of your posts where she suggests you marry an "Iyer Buddhist" ;) Congratulations, and all d best! :)
ReplyDeleteI made my way here from Mr Shenoy's blog. I promised him my vote. Lekin ek aurat ka dard ek aurat hi samajh sakti hai. And now I have to choose between supporting naari jaat and going back on my word.
ReplyDeleteLife is so difficult, sniff sniff sob sob.
And of course, I totally forgot I have 2 mail IDs :)Problem solved!
ReplyDeleteDone with the voting :)
ReplyDeleteone mystery solved: i nominated you. and the rest of the jury thought you were rather funny too.
ReplyDeletei used to be pretty pissed with these blogging contests where the most unfunniest amit types would win all the damned time.
i'd like it much better if a tambrahm girl won, especially one who's written posts that made me laugh out loud when i was reading blogs in the middle of an artificial intelligence lecture :)
so, everyone, go ahead, vote for chutneycase.

Keep Posting!
Congratulations first..!! And you are damn clever to use the "prettiest-one" card... :D
ReplyDeleteUr posts have helped me survive the process of studying for some horrible end terms so my vote goes to you.
ReplyDeleteThat said, (dis)functional parents are sometimes better than nice rational parents
Just to clarify, IndiBlogger.in and Indibloggies are not the same - 2 separate entities! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would vote for you just because you are the only one with a decent flickr profile.
ReplyDeleteBut then, I don't vote online, for fear of man in the middle attacks.
Voted. Good luck! :)
