  4. pal on May 10, 2010 at 1:33 pm

    WOW!! I wanna join too :-) )) But Mr.Commissioner, can we ‘bid’ for groups?

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:36 am

      :rotfl: In the first edition we have no bidding process, ofcourse we can evolve a “bidding” process in the future editions ;) Welcome to BPL!

  5. Sanchit Goyal on May 10, 2010 at 4:33 pm

    Can anyone give an idea what sort of topics would be there?

    I can blog about politics, travel, sports, religion etc but if it comes to things like stories, poems or 55 fiction (:-s) then it wont be my cup of tea!

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:37 am

      Sanchit , It would be a mixed bag of topics , so you will have your own niche to play! So you can come onboard :) Hope to see you in a team!

  6. Just Like Crap on May 10, 2010 at 5:20 pm

    Ok so i wanna participate but im a comic blogger…can i participate too??

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:39 am

      Though we have not planned yet a separate comic topic since it is a very niche topic and not all teams may have a player capable of it but if you think you can do justice to a topic with your comic element , you can participate too :)

  7. Neha on May 10, 2010 at 5:45 pm

    this is a super cool contest guys..wish you all the very best for the contest.. :)

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:39 am

      • Neha on May 11, 2010 at 11:20 am

  8. Guria on May 10, 2010 at 6:41 pm

  9. S.R.Ayyangar on May 10, 2010 at 6:59 pm

    I would like, but you have to clarify who will form the GROUP and what would be likely topics to enable me to know if they will be of my kind of writing.

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:42 am

      Sir, the team will be formed on a random basis. The registered members will be randomly assigned to different teams. One aspect of BPL is to see how bloggers interact with new set of people, network with each other towards a common team spirit.

      About the topics, it will be a mixed bag of topics. :) Hope to see you in the playing ground :)

  10. Shilpa on May 10, 2010 at 7:33 pm

    This is a super cool one :)

    • Lakshmi Rajan on May 11, 2010 at 8:43 am

    But I am not really sure if I should jump in :(

  22. Pawan on May 11, 2010 at 5:12 pm

    I’m in!
    Please include genres in which we can write not topics. Something like “Crime” and “Horror” :P
    Topics like “Write something about a car…Inside which a man is smoking…the sun is setting…” etc will only bring shite!

  23. Himanshu on May 11, 2010 at 11:13 pm

    I am not able to write anything on the discussion board…

      Tomorrow teams will be announced and day after we will announce the play schedule. The rounds starts this coming week. We will update the news in Cafe GingerChai and in our facebook fan page.

      • Sanchit Goyal on May 17, 2010 at 2:21 am

        I would request you to update the details on this blog as well (If its possible ) as then it would come in feeds and easier to know.
