N+1th Update: I spoke with googler Sudhir and he pointed me to their press release. So there you go the results were true and so it all ends here. But I do have a few questions in mind. The press Release was at 4:44 pm, how come Aloo Techie knew it at 3:31 pm itself? Was there some kinda leak? Will Google publish the winning entries? Why the sad snail mail system? Why was the result delayed? Is there any credibility to the judging procedure or was it just a hurried process? Sudhir couldn’t help me with these questions cauze he was not a part of the Wordmasters team.
——————————————————–
nth UPDATE: The below excerpt from aloo techie might turn out to be a hoax. Check the comment section where Ranjani S enlightens us with her telephonic conversation with Google India office where they inform her that the results may be out only on 13th or 14th of this month…

Punny just broke the news:
finally! they are out folks…

Wait a min… is Punny a girl or a guy?), Vandita (For the ideas she came up with), Scooby Doo (For inviting us to a lunch part without giving us the Address 
) and Ravi (For hoaxing us about a “sms to get results” scam)…
We may not have won, but we definitely kicked arse in the comment section (I still rotfl when I re-read them 
)

Breaking News: Harshad Joshi just broke the news that Google might actually release the results to all the participants on November 9th. (Check comment section for further details 
) (Not a Rumor! My bad)
—————————-
It is November 1st and there is still no news about the Google Wordmasters Challenge Results. The contest simultaneously conducted at 10 cities in India on September 30th, 2006, by Google India, saw over 3,000 participants fighting it out to be one of the top ten creative talents that Google India were hunting for.
It’s been more than a month since the contest and there has been no sign of the results. The official form that everyone received during the event says the results would be out by 30th of October, which as we all know has passed two days back.
I have got quite a few mails from contestants who have been checking their e-mail boxes every hour from 30th of October. This has been a huge let down by the Google guys.
So the guys at Google India I want you to listen to me and listen me good: I am not saying you guys suck, I am not saying you guys have to always be promt. All I am saying is:
1) when you can afford to email every participant and even SMS them a day before the event, you can also take the time to intimate them when the results are going to be out.
2) put up the results on an online page, instead of your crappy process: The winners will be notified thro’ email. The names of the winners may be obtained by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Google India Pvt. Ltd., Prestige Sigma, No.3, Vittal Mallya Road, Bangalore 560001. So if I want to know the winners then I have to go snail mail you guys? Wasn’t your motto “Information for all in an easy way”? Snail mail is not only slow but is also irritating. I don’t even remember the last time I bought stamps. This is absolute craziness.
3) if you can conduct the event in a grand way, why isn’t your follow up professional enough? None of the 3,000 odd participants have a clue as to what happened to their entries.
4) is this event credible? When one of the participants in Chennai asked the Google Guy what was the prize money, the Google Guy said “Well, I am not supposed to tell you the amount for the prize money. But hey, its Google, the money sure will be big”. Considering that was a reply from an ignorant organizer my question is: Is there any prize money?
BTW, if any of you guys know whats up with the results please do let me know.
I contacted the Google Guy (RJ Vijay) who told us about the undisclosed prize money thro’ his personal email id (which I obtained during the event) two days back regarding the results. I am yet to receive a reply 
UPDATE: Looks like I am not the only one who is frustrated. Harshad of Pune, who warned us long back saying that the whole competition might be a farce, has also blogged about the aftermath of the Google Wordmaster Challenge and how this might back fire Google. Some interesting discussions are going on there.
UPDATE 2: Another frustrated participant – Rajesh Kumar of Chennai.
UPDATE 3: Googlified blog posts about Google India’s callousness…
UPDATE 4: Some discussions on why is Google India doing/not doing this over here.
Update 5: Harshad Joshi just broke the news that Google might actually release the results to all the participants on November 9th.

Anish, the only hot news on that site are links to online poker and porn. Maybe your site expired during the night and you didn’t realise it?
Dude Anish….
Anish, you got the spelling of the site wrong. But hey dude, what’s the point in announcing the results now when they have been available online for over a week?
what ho what ho what ho! i thought i was the only one who visited this blog after long after the anticlimaxial demise of its theme. but apparently my fellow martyrs do likewise…. well, you eggs beans and crumpets, heard of some other writing challenge of late?
Writing challenge? I’m going to keep as far away from it as possible. But it makes sense to keep adding to these comments, because constant updating will make such pages figure right on top when curious Googlers search for “wordmasters challenge” in future. (Google may yet conduct another such eyewash in another part of the world, for all we know.)
Hi All! Correctly put…this is Adios to you all folks..much as I would hate to say it. Had a great time bonding with all co-miserators thru the hours of suspense that Google (unneccessarily) put us through. Like Hari, this experience will put me off future Wordmaster Challenges, if any, for years to come. All enthusiastic participants of the contest were at best made to feel like mediocres, and at worst, some kind of beggars from a third world nation. Bitter, who me??
Bye folks…the only bright spot in this whole episode were you guys!
The battle aint over as yet. Google cant get out of this so easily. Even today there is no official decleration. God damn it.. we need to do something in this matter. Even todays news are full of a story of Adobe India CEO’s son being kidnapped and freed. (Actually, it is a free publicity for Adobe and its products. I suspect that this entire drama was carried out by Adobe Corp of USA to promote their product in India. Otherwise who would have bothered to know a bit about Adobe India CEO?)
These idiot newsmakers need to be pointed over Google fraud.
@ punny
No maitreyi, ur not the only one still nursing the wound/scar/blister/lesion/ulceration/bruise/abrasion/injury…..
@ Harshad:
Way to go! The Google stunt was slightly worse than the Adobe CEO’s son’s kidnapping….about 3000 self-respecting citizens of this country were taken for a ride, in the true sense of the word. How on earth does one bond and get our dues back? We didn’t ask for much; only a letter of confirmed prize winners from the organisers would have done.
Ravi, Harshad, Punny, Hari, etc…DO SOMETHING!
Scooby dear..
“about 3000 self-respecting citizens of this country were taken for a ride…”
ah..err.. 2990 to be precise..
and lets not keep on repeating that we’v been taken for a ride okkk???… i went to rehab, and here lemme help you out of this mess.
1. Just tell urself that u were the 11th best. I shall concede this position and move to 12th to help you.
2. Listen to Eagles’ “Get over it”
3. Chew on this great quote “Everything was over long ago.” literally, very apt in our case. Meaning everything has already been designed, and our only business is to watch it unfold. Our only other business is to find out what has been designed for us and make that unfold.
4. Now, just get back to work and don’t make me more mad.
@ravi
think you are right. no point wasting ‘hard’ earned money (hard as hard can be, in my case) and precious time -you’d rather spend taking a nap or reading a forsyth thriller- on this bitten-the-dust event. we can keep visiting this blog to see if anybody has withdrawal symptoms. in the meanwhile lemme know if you heard of some writing job…. cant do this web content writing anymore….
@ punny
gimme “a” mail id, and ill put you through whatever i get to know about writing jobs or other related stuff in Bangalore…
Maybe Google meant the results would be declared “in or around” 30th Oct of 2007 or thereafter….Well, there’s always hope isn;t there??!
