Brian. I’m happy
You have selected the right guy for this contest 
Abhi, congrats.. Well, you really did a lot of hard work. It’s paid off. I know you won’t be happy with this. I think you will be searching for a new contest on other blog (am I right, Brian 
)? Abhi wrote this post right after winning the Jane’s contest..
Anyways, good luck mate
And Brain, I am look forward to your next contest on BE. Hope I can make it next time, if Abhi gives chance to me

Hey Rahul,
Thank you for your awesome comments, and wishes. Yeah, we all did hard work. Maybe, I did a bit more.
Naah. I’m happy. And I’m gonna take rest from contests. Totally exhausted.
And I will surely promote your post when you enter. And for sure, I’m not going to participate this time because this time, RAHUL is entering.
I don’t wanna lose…
Thanks once again.

He says “LOVE it” but I had to congratulate him 5 times and practically threaten him into enjoying the win – I don’t think he expected to best his mentor and thought I’d be upset or something! LOL
That’s the goal of every good teacher, Abhi. I still feel bad for my guitar teacher… man’s going to retire without ever having produced an Andrés Segovia, and he can’t even claim he taught me to play a simple chord. Seriously, I’m thrilled for you! (Grudgingly happy for Justin, too.

April 30th, 2012
LOL – I feel bad that I’ve had a hand in corrupting India’s youth, turning a diligent young student and blogger into a contesting fiend. But Abhi, I’m so proud of you – you beat Justin and me!! Well done!
And Justin, I hope I win that iPad3. That would take the sting out of defeat.
Congratulations.
HUGE congratulations to all who entered and all who won something here – just by stepping up and ENTERING, you did something most people won’t bother to try. You can’t win if you don’t enter.
Now… if you’d all take just a second to read the post linked here in this comment and click “Like” next to “Vote for this Dreamer,” I’d be grateful. (No licking my wounds here – I’m already off and racing to the next win!
