A wish-list for prizes here...

I've been dreaming of buying a set of walkie-talkies now... you know those handheld sets that have a range of 20 to 30 kms and you talk to each other on a specified frequency. those are the ones I want... and now don't say, 'You already have a mobile, so why do you need a walkie-talkie?' 

'Man, I need a walkie-talkie because I need a walkie-talkie... and I don't have a reason for this.' :)

Renie, please suggest this as a prize to the next sponsors of a contest.

why? do u want to say "over" after your responses everytime? 

Ha Ha @Veturi

ek sony xperia z2 bas aur kuchh nahi

I'm sure your wish has all the possibility of becoming true... all the best! :)

thank u thank u .. 

are you talking about any contest prizes ?

Let me guess what fascinates me now... 

A GoPro and a drone to go with it.

This will be such a nice thing to win... allowing me to shhot videos from unconventional angles.

May be we should create a list of prizes that we don't ever want? Maybe I will start the thread with Hobbit's Diary starring at the top slot

hahaha

Come on dear - why do you hate that poor Hobbit diary so much? When I come to Ahmedabad I will catch up with you and exchange your diary for a huge box of chocolates.

TF, I will gladly give it to you....I hate that diary from the bottom of my heart...like true hatred

Trading rabbits aka hobbits 

little hobbit little diary, big hobbit big diary simple

TF I am ready to exchange that diary for chocolates too

Bushra TF has already taken back his offer after Pankti described the diary  ( See IndiTalk Archive )

Your dream seems to be coming true, Mr. Passey. British Council contest - Bose sound dock and if any they are the ones more likely to offer writing courses as prizes maybe at a next contest. You can't imagine some FMCG product offering a writing course abroad.

Well, TF, the prizes on indiblogger are becoming bigger and better... and i'm sure this is helping more and more people to gravitate towards blogging.

How about  a Bose Soundlink or a Bose Wave Music System or a Bose Sound Dock? Isn't it about time that these Audio giants thought of testing the Indian bloggers and their strengths?

For instance, we've never had a contest sponsored by Philips... and they do have a range of products that bloggers will love to compete for. Why is it that only companies dealing with cosmetics are so excited about blogging contests? Is there a perception that most bloggers are capable of writing just mushy nothings?

I think that's because they prefer business content over personal content.

I doubt that. They called me for a press conference+ basic demo session for their active noise-cancellation IEMs, but since the source of sound had 20 splitters strapped on a chair and then each of them having one of these units. My audio H/W review contributor wasn't there, but there was a very loud and harsh hiss sound that gave me a serious pain after couple of hours. When they asked me about it, I told about the harshness. The reply for that however was,"Okay, but did you enjoy it?"! lulwut!!!Nah nah!!! I think it should be easy for indiblogger to rope them in. They're more interested in promo content, atleast based on the experience I had. Rs. 24k worth of IEMs which can split your head into 2 and will require more than 1 painkiller to numb the pain around the ear. Good show!!But if Indiblogger wants, they can try Logitech too. They have their UE lineup so that's worth a shot! I think those guys are usually in Delhi and Bangalore. Its worth a shot.

How silly of me to forget ThumsUp, @NandiniDeka... :) 

So yes, the revised #5 will be...

5. Touborg or Miller -- year's supply! (ThumsUP, if Nandini wins!)

Here is my new prize-list wish in the new year...

1. A 15-day writing course/workshop abroad.

2. A blogger's column in some daily newspaper.

3. Trip to the Arctic region.

4. Gym membership for 5 years.

5. Touborg or Miller -- year's supply!

 More later...

If they will have a prize like that, then you would be the only one blogging for it :D

Yes...so she will win

lol, yes and we will win the sidekick vouchers :D

I love cash prizes! The bigger the better Do remember to add that to the list Renie

Ha ha... I love this thread! So many ideas, we can just send this to brands and tell them to pick and choose.

In case you send it,  then add the following also 

First Prize : 10 lakh Rs pocket money per month for 100 years 

T&C: First prize reserved for Ranjith [ id : 34101 ] 

Ranjith it is I who bumped the thread so your pocket money will come later after my 14.5 cr penthouse Apartment 

It was TF who gave you the link to this thread, so first his wishes should be fulfilled 

ok so you are third in the queue

I want India

Nice wish... so you'd want an India with or without politicians? :)

As long as the politicians do what I say, I dont mind them being in it
