There is one important issue which thoroughly and seriously needs to be addressed right here right now. Never ever I thought that somebody from my own blogosphere will end up plagiarizing . For me, my blogroll is sacred as it has the links of few good blogs which I really love to read. And above all, the awards which I gave away to the fellow bloggers was purely based on the creativity, talent and the zeal for blogging . But right now I feel betrayed and extremely sorry for Kiran Manral because one such blogger from my blogroll dare to commit the sin of plagiarizing and taking away the credit of the creativity of another blogger. On a previous note, I too was victimized by plagiarism ( my post “A meeting with plagiarism)and so I share the same feelings and sympathy with Kiran. I have deleted the blogger’s link from my blogroll and I am officially stripping the blogger of the honor of “The budding blogger award” .
For me my principles matter the most in life and if today I wouldn’t have done this I think I would have cheated on my values and the entire blogosphere

Thankee Arpit. I think SAGs has now deleted her blog.
Bravo! And Sag being your cousin and all. Am not sure if she knew that what she was doing was so wrong.
Thanks for being such a sport, Arpit.
Although I do NOT mean to be offensive in the least, can’t help thinking that this has been a surefire way to drive traffic to your blog, LOL. Hi-fi blogs like Kiran’s and The Mad Momma’s seem to be a total meeting-place for people and a place to find new blogs every week!
Glad to find your blog, I’ll keep reading.
SAG is your cousin?
Anyway, dont fee bad. You couldn’t have known since no one runs plagiarism checks on blog. Blogging friendships are relationships of trust.
Sags has delete her blog, so truth triumphs
Bravo! And congratulations on your milestone!
thank you for doing the right thing.
I don’t understand why she deleted it without an apology.
[...] Mom), put up posts decrying this outright highway robbery, thanks MadMomma, Serendipity, Arpit, Ersa; send out comments to everyone possible to spread the word around, put it up on Twitter, [...]
One is used to unknown copycats but this takes the cake! Anyway she has deleted her blog. But anyway it’s not your fault Arpit. One doesn’t know people, specially those who blog under a name not their own.
@ All : I seriously have nothing to say right now ! so please do not mind since i didnt reply individually to all your comments. but yes finally i can say that JUSTICE has been done !
Good thing done by you arpit… never give up your values.. live by it
Applause
Kudos Arpit!!!
This is so unbelievable Arpit! Sag was also on Orkut and in my friend list. She looked so innocent! I am still not able to believe it. The post she had stolen is so private! Don’t know what to say!
P.S.: Happy birthday!
wow…tough luck…this is so serious..
well definitely its very much serious. as you can see there was a lot of uproar in the blogosphere about it but finally honesty won
