Bharateeya Blog Mela

Indian blogging has really moved up in content quality in the last 6 months or so. We, as a whole, have distinctly matured from the i-had-my-lunch-at-four posts to more serious issues. People are discussing a plethora of topics on their weblogs as you can see from the 28th edition of Bharatiya Blog Mela. Mahesh has done a very good job of presenting it the way he has. Way to go, Indians! Still, I feel we should let the Bharatiya Blog Mela remain the unique way it is presented, each edition being passed on from blog to blog. And I would love to host one of the editions.

Somebody had suggested that the Mela get a separate homepage by itself, but I'm not for it. It's terrific that we take turn s to host the Mela every week. It fosters a community spirit more than anything else. I also feel that no one format should be imposed on anyone. Every week, a single individual must solely take up the responsibility to edit and present it to the best of their abilities. After 27 Melas, boredom and fatigue was setting in. Something different was needed to liven it up...
