In my trawling through the net for content of interest, here are a few new ones that are really interesting.

1. Atrocity News – a site dedicated to highlighting atrocities in India. The site is a meticulous documentation of cases that violate the fundamental rights to life, liberty, property and equality. Its’ progress report on Khairlangi is detailed and up to date.
2. At Home, Writing – a blog that looks at literature. Erudite, informative and well researched, it acts as an effective pointer to the written word.
3. Passion for Cinema – a collablog which loves its movies – good, bad, ugly, and the utterly kitschy. with little tit bits of behind the scene action, and a hit or two or rumour/spoliers – the site offers a smoragsboard of views, experiences and insights.
4. Cool Bihari – a blogsite that looks at development and good news from Bihar as opposed to the death and drudgery.
5. Indian Muslims – a collablog that discusses ‘issues concerning Indian Muslims’ – interesting.

These new blogs are in addition to the evergrowing list on my bloglines subscription. With the coming in of blog aggregators like Desi Pundit and Blogbharati – excellent sites – my level of involement in looking for new blogs to read has actually diminished – they do that work for me. But, sometimes -just sometimes– i miss the old blogmelas that used to happen – which gave a different sort of ‘jhalak’ every single week of blogsites & bloggers – very often based on the hosts own set of interests. Does anyone else miss the blogmelas or am i just having a bad day with nostalgia?
