My gosh, I don’t know how I overlooked this! I just found out from a friend that my blog is a finalist in the Best Asian Weblog category of the 12th Annual Weblog Awards. What a surprise and an honour.
Voting closes on Sunday February 19, 2012 — that’s two days away!
I’d be really grateful if you would vote for me.

just voted !! all d best….
plz note ppl….u need to hav a valid email id for voting …coz they send a validation link to ur mail id…which u need to click to complete the voting process …
Thanks heaps, Jurno!
Where to enter the email id,I just clicked the grey Vote button and it marked as a tick,Is that OK? By the Way “Invading Holland” on Best European Weblog totally Sucks.
After checking the grey Vote button, you need to go down to the bottom of the page and click submit. That’s where you need to enter the email address. I’m sure lot many others have just checked the button and just left. Not their fault! Flawed web page design.
Wow! Congratulations! Yours is the ony blog I read from the list of “Asia” category nominations. So, you can guess whom I voted for.
Wish you all the best. 
Coming to the point, Are you offering any voting sops (True Indian Style)? 
You are such a kind person that all the happiness you distribute around to others is now returning to you in small packets.
Definitly i will vote ,i gained lot of knowledge from this blog
Yayyyy! Done Sharell, sneaked in my vote for ya!
Hey I voted for u.
Did you check out the Blue Abaya blog in the Asian category? Its pretty cool and kind of reminds me of your blog.
If you correct your name in Hindi then I vote for you. He He..
Jaani kuch pane ke liye kuch badalna bhi padta hai.. I think its better than to distribute a note of 500, bottle of country-made liquor which our politicians do to get a vote.
Voted you !
Hi sharrel. . .
I stumbled across your blog today morning and i ve been reading post after post for i dont know how many hours. . . Very interesting. . Cant wait to read your book. . . And i ve just voted for you. . .

$20, is that all the winner gets?
Well Done Madam.
I have to say your blog is a fun read but at the same time thought provoking. An interesting and honest perspective of our India.
All the best. I have obviously voted for this blog.
Hey Sharell,
Congratulations
Extremely thrilled for you. We voted!! All the best!

Dear Sharell
I made the nomination at the beginning of the year and I sent you an email. Best of luck!
Oh thank you!
Did I reply or did I overlook that? I went through a phase when I was really behind in my emails.
Done!!! Wish you the best.
I wont vote for you.Because…I didn’t get chance to read your book !Howz the excuse…!!
Iam not going to vote for you because you didn’t send me your book for free.
Well, you won’t get far in life with that attitude, will you?
Hi there, I just wanted to stop by and say hi and I really like your blog, great job, love to read about India
P.S. I’m your “competitor” from Blue Abaya
Good luck!
Hey there! Good luck! Your blog is fantastic… wonderfully informative. 8) It looks like there’s quite a bit that both countries have in common (obsession with white skin, telling lies etc. Hehe).
Aww thanks Sharell
) I’m so glad to have found yours!
Yes there does seem to be surprisingly many things in common with Saudi and India!
Done.
Have been reading your posts for the past couple of months and find it refreshing and interesting.
Wish you the best.

Awesome! I’ve voted. It’ll be super cool if you win! Indian politicians give people some money to vote. You give money or any gifts, Sharell?
Thank you sooooo much to all who have been kind enough to support me and vote!
And in regards to questions about financial incentives, if I win I’ll distribute my total prize money to you all.
Well Sharell…the final prize money are 20 bucks! It’s a symbolic prize actually lol but anyway I have been promoting the ballot between the girls on our Facebook group…take care and good luck!
Ha! That’s right! I’ll be distributing a symbolic financial reward to everyone.
It’s love not money.
Haha That sounds good to me
All the best Sharell! You deserve it
Unfortunately, I did not visit the website for a week after 15th – so did not get a chance to read this blog and vote for this website.
The winners were announced about half an hour ago.
Looks like unbravegirl.com won the best asian weblog award. Congrats to unbravegirl.
But I sincerely think that Sharell should have won. Just see the quality of what and how she writes everything with sincerity, honesty and frankness without any malice. As per my friends who have lived in Australia, these are the typical characteristics of most Australians – frankness/honesty.
So, as far as I am concerned, Sharell is the winner.
Oh too bad I didn’t win. I’m not surprised though, because I didn’t have much time to get votes after I realised I was in the running.
I like the concept of Unbravegirl though. Congratulations to her.
And thanks so much for your kind words Ocean.
