Ring The Bell for IndiChange!
IndiChange and RingTheBell are back, and this is time it's a contest where there are no winners or losers.
Blog about Ring the Bell, and for every 50 entries received, Breakthrough will put 1 lakh INR towards training self-help groups (SHGs), community-based organisations (CBOs) and youth in schools in the district of Gaya in the state of Bihar.
"Harnessing the collective power of blogging to fight evil." - shall we set a target?
After eons of contemplation and retrospect, I too posted my entry today. Feeling somewhat delighted after having done my bit as a blogger towards this egalitarian cause. 
I am so happy to see that there are 201 posts for this topic.
I also saw a funny thing today. I tried to read a blog post on this topic but the message I received was, 'type in your password to open this article.' ???? This is a public post on the 'Ring the bell' page. Why do I need a password and who will give it to me?
Next wonder, this post has several votes. Now, did the wise people who voted for it already have the password or did they just open the page, close it and vote without being able to read the post?
i wonder....
Hey Madhu Bhardwaj It is my Post .. I submitted it around 3.30 am last night.. It wasn't complete and couldn't do it cz I had to be @ the office early today... I'll complete it today.. since it is not a contest. I guess it will do no harm. 
Well, I know of certain password protection widgets but I always believed that no one but only the CIA may be in some real need of using it. As it turns out, there are a few more prudent uses of it. 
I must've been among the first to submit my entry for this one, but no sign of my post :((((((((((((((((((((((((
Rayla i can find your entry here, http://www.indiblogger.in/topic.php?pageNum_ThisVine=20&totalRows_ThisVine=202&topic=80&sort=latest
thank you, oh wow thank you so much , appreciate so much
Hi Bloggers,
The contest may be over but the work has not yet begun. So do keep Ringing the Bell and let's try to make this world a better place for women, and children and elederlies -- the three most vulnerable sections of any society.
No
Just about to post my entry seeing that it was still open. But when I was getting to post, the campaign closed. Can it be open atleast for 10 min?
Thanks! Luckily it was still open and submitted
i thought campaign was over long back :o
Campaign has closed long back but Renie forgot to remove the submit link in the latest and popular tabs. 
hail rajnikant....only you can see what rest of us mortals miss
I received my Ring the Bell Mug. It's my first ever prize from Indiblogger. Thanks a lot!
I dint get yet 
Whatever, whether my entry is accepted or not, I just rang the Bell with my input on this cause.
And for me , sumbit link shining bright on the popular tab even after the contest was over was just a signal for my entry to go in ;)
Glad it did (though Renie might think otherwise) but still my entry (poem) had its feedback and that's what I needed at the end of the day :)
Just received my Breakthrough Mug via Blue Dart Courier. Many Thanks!
not recieved mine yet
I too havent received it 
Oh my sweet Mug, where art thou ? :)))
I received my mug today and it was horribly broken into pieces. Unfortunately I was not there when the courier person delivered it and I saw it only after reaching home in the evening. Here's a pic. Completely heart-broken
awww sad
Coincidentally, even my perk has arrived in tatters. So much for a genuine effort towards an egalitarian cause. I can't help but feel that most of the cups were damaged beforehand because wrapping them in a layer of newspaper and expecting them to arrive at destination safe and sound is nothing but pure cretin stuff
why would they be damaged beforehand..doesnt make sense...
Nandini, my guess is it was not properly packed. It was packed in newspaper and a little thermocol package. The courier people are not particularly known for handling packages carefully
These mugs remind me of the food items sent by my parents which came to me in powdered form.
+1 to Prasanna and +1 to Tushar too. I received my two mugs for my two entries and both in horrible conditions. Renie, please look into the matter.
And Prassana, your ordeal is same as mine. Word to word.
I had written two posts but received only one mug. Anyway looking at the condition of the first mug I fear what would have happened to the second one
@ PR As far as I remember, it is one mug per participant. 
@ PK Were those two mugs for your entry and uncle's entry?
+1 to Prasanna and Tushar, both. Prasanna, your ordeal is same as mine, word to word.
Just that for me it was a double shock as both the mugs, for two entries were tattered.
Renie, please look into the matter and oblige.
And, One Mug for a third entry is pending. Just hope that third one will be safe and sound.
And, the other two will be replaced.
Poonam, I am not sure if each entry made by an individual will get a mug. Even I wrote three entries but have received only one mug. Thankfully it was intact though the packing was really loose and quite shoddy.
I took it for granted that they must be sending one mug for one contributor even if he/she made multiple entries.
Does anyone know for sure what the deal is for this?
hmmm...will courier guy admit their own faults? fyi i think these mugs were customised for the ring bell initiative ( if i'm not wrong ), hence cant be some extra broken mugs lying around at the stockist's godown right which he wanted to get did off? i feel as someone mentioned earlier it mustve been poor packing.
I haven't received any mug
@Renie, am I going to recieve anything from IB ever???? I applied for Ambipur sample, didn't receive it. I applied for books to review, I didn't receive it. I wrote for Ring The Bell, didn't receive anything.
Are you listening Renie????????????????????????????
at least u can do is throwing a glance at your indi-dispatch, if it mentions the courier name & docket no. of the sent items,then u may contact the courier office.
AV, here is the screen shot of my Indi-Dispatch
Sorry! It looks like we've not sent you anything as yet.
lmao pankti even i didnt get ambipur n mug
@ Pankti Your IndiDispatch looks so clean just like my FB profile. 
IndiMug or AmbiPur Mini Vent are not shown in the Indispatch.
Nothing is shown on Ind-Dipatch. Period.
Vent is being shown for those who got it.
.
But for me, the status is Not Delivered - Address Incorrect
Sorry about the broken mugs!
Everyone who got a broken mug will get a new one sent across. Also, we're waiting for the dispatch details so we can update InDispatch.
And what about those who haven't received anything until yet?
Hey Panki, I'll ask my team to look into your situation. As far as I know, many of the Ambi Pur car samples are yet to be sent out, so you don't have to worry just yet. (The contest has been extended to September 30). There aren't too many books to go around, and they're mostly sent out on a first-come basis. Ring The Bell mug - we'll let you know as soon as we get the dispatch numbers!
Cool Renie
From now onwards, I should apply for the books as soon as they are displayed.
will have to stay awake mignights then...cos most of the things are usually announced late mindnights
kaan??? means ears???
in our language kaan means ears and kana means deaf khana is food.
Thanks Renie, I had written two entries and one the mugs came in a broken condition. I received the other mug today in perfect condition
