Some Blogs worth a Read
Posted by gargi on 21 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: India
In my trawling through the net for content of interest, here are a few new ones that are really interesting.
- 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.
- At Home, Writing - a blog that looks at literature. Erudite, informative and well researched, it acts as an effective pointer to the written word.
- 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.
- Cool Bihari - a blogsite that looks at development and good news from Bihar as opposed to the death and drudgery.
- 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?

I, unfortunately, have relied almost entirely upon group blogs to bring the blogosphere goodness to me, so I it is rare that I venture. The times I do, though, do prove to be successful.
Thanks for the new links.
