It is with the deepest regret that I have to announce that Aniruddha Mahajan’s post on how long his fingernails have grown<\/a> is the victor<\/a> in the September Blog Mela. I would like to extend my halfhearted congratulations to Mr. Mahajan for his impressive display of rigging skills.
\nThat only ray of hope that we can discern in the dark picture is that he failed to win an absolute majority of posts; so we can take heart in the fact that only thirty percent of the readership of the Indian Blogosphere finds itself utterly fascinated by the length of Mr. Mahajan’s …fingernails. <\/p>\n

Anya is requested to contact Shanti Aunty for his Amazon gift certificate. I also have a recommendation for him as to what he should buy with it.
