Congratulations to the winning suggestion, which I think is great, I wish I had thought of it! As it happened neither of my suggestions even made it to the short list, so I will have to be content with a regular room at Udaipur! I must clarify that if you had a vision of Naveen and me spending the weekend together debating the pros and cons of each of the 22 suggestions, I have to tell you that the actual process was much swifter- I think both of us also have a life to lead!
I secretly (not so secretly now) wish we could have selected Babichan's suggestion and given a Longman dictionary to each participant though!
Thank you to everyone who participated, and maybe all us losers should have a drink together.
The scope of this blog is being widened to welcome participation from other group companies, to begin with the DK and Penguin teams (you may have already noticed the unfamiliar logos on the page!). I hope that gets us more writers and more topics that will be of interest to us all. Since there really isn't a higher purpose to this site than to have an outlet for people who want to share their thoughts on anything, I guess it will be good to have more players.

NSM Theme and the scope of this blog
NSM THEME CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT "SCHOOL NSM 2009"
THE STORY BEHIND THE STAGE:-
It was a tough decision for which Judges Naveen and Vivek had to brainstorm for hours and days trying to choose among 22 most exciting entries from team-mates all over India . From the moment this contest was conceived we expected this to be cracker of a contest. But once the "Big Prize" was announced the trickle of entries on blog turned into flood of most varying and awesome ideas which kept coming till the very last hours of extended contest date. Each of theme was unique and amusing, to say the least, and the decision was made after much deliberation with all the names being erased from the themes for sake of impartiality. At last it was short listed to final five entries and out of which judges selected the final winner and it is………

NSM 2009 theme contest - close
Dear All
Thank you everyone. The NSM 2009 theme contest has drawn an overwhelming response from all of you. Everyone came out with their creative best and the entire idea has been justified by your sense of participation. We will be short listing the theme entries today and presenting it to the judges. I certainly think the judges will have tough time deciding the winner out of so many equally marvelous ideas. You will all be informed about the result of this contest on
Thanks

Produced By : Vikram Singh
Directed By : Nikhil Bhargava
Finance By : Self Financing very Private Highly Limited
Cast : Amit Kumar,Bhushan Sharma, and introducing rising stars of the future Raza Khan , Gaurav Singh (new comers)
The movie begins with leaving office on Friday evening , getting in our travel gear on the first Dhaba on the highway , mixing our spirits in right proportions and driving throughout the night to reach our destination called Lansdown
Next moring we began our shooting with few glitches like Hero arriving late at the sets and rolling out the usual excuse that they have got a flat tyre
Finally the whole crew arrived at the shooting venue and got busy with their specified tasks
And then started the shooting with our heroine for which we had covered 260kms in 12 hours “the chicken on the river side” , BTW the stove which we had got for getting relishing “Heroine” ready gave up and we had to resort to our ancestral skills of cooking.
And finally after 3 hours of fire fighting (literally), burnt fingers and smoked lungs “Heroine” was ready for the shoot…
It was time for the climax, by evening 4 o’clock we were able to complete the schedule of our shooting
