WL Movie Caption Contest!

Hi folks,

I'm planning to organise a MOVIE CAPTION CONTEST soon at The Writers' Lounge (the contest will also be open to readers of my blog and possibly Raghav's blog too/I'll confirm this when I hear from him, so the competition could be 'fierce'!). The best two entries will win a DVD each (DVD titles to be decided soon). The best part of it, five best entries will be chosen by you, TWL members, through votes! And then the final two winners from the 5, will be chosen by me and Raghav through a final round.

But before going ahead with it, I wanted an opinion poll, whether you would prefer Bollywood or Hollywood movies? Please cast your vote in the poll below. Also any suggestions are welcome in the comments section.

And...for a warm-up round, here's a picture for you to form any number of captions! (No prizes for this one!)

Thanks!

P.S. Please cast your vote by 24 May..you have time!
