     a b cd e f g h ij k lm nop q rs t uv w xy z 

    So you can pick any particular category and blog with that alphabet starting from Jan until Sep.

    So for example, if you pick A to Z Indian Sweets, for Jan you will be sharing Athirasam, Besan Ladoo, Churma, etc.

    What category or theme you pick is your choice. However, this is beneficial if you blog from Jan without a break.

    If you join in Mar, then on your choice, you will have to post dishes with g h I.

    Points to remember:

    One cant choose the alphabet. The alphabet for the month is fixed. So if you do March you will have to do the alphabet chosen for that month.
    The theme is the choice of the blogger
    The theme we pick is going to be for the entire series. Say you do Mar, skip Apr, and join back in Jun. In Mar you pick protein-rich for the A-Z series and in Jun you will have to stick to protein-rich and do the alphabets assigned for that month.

    So for June, the Alphabets are going to be "P, Q, and R"
