Petals of Gratitude: Ghumakkad@250,000

250,000 page views is no big deal.

Internet counts in millions of pageviews. So, should Ghumakkad rejoice?

Yes, we should. Not because we have crossed 250,000 views but because we have brought a smile on your faces during otherwise gloomy period of the pandemic. Our sincere gratitude. Like the rose petals in the picture below.

Ever since we reached 200,000 milestone in July 20, we have made an endeavour to post stories with a positive message. Some of these stories are listed below. Click to browse.

We feel thrilled that KBG- Kaun Banega Ghumakkad online contest- continued to receive your active participation throughout the pandemic. Based on your feedback, the KBG Contest underwent a format change. One of the readers a well known cardiologist, remarked to Ghumakkad that 'your KBG questions are tougher than the MD entrance exam!' Though in a jest, it set us thinking. So, instead of quizzing you about flowers, plants, grasses, trees, birds, forts, monuments and places KBG now reveals the picture apriori. All you have to do is to give the picture a caption. Best captions are the Winners. Some of the winning KBG entries are given below.
