The winner of the Returning Readers Contest

So the Returning Readers Contest has come to an end and with only 2 contestants it turned out a big dissapointment. I do not know if it was the prizes I offered or if my readers base is so small or whatever, the contest has not been that interesting to my readers.

The winner of this contest is Anand Subramanian and you will be contacted soon to get your prizes. Congratulations to you.
