Blog Mela Announcement
Published by Yazad Jal April 9th, 2005 in Blog Mela
Time for another mela at AnarCapLib. We’re hosting it on April 14–the day Babasaheb Ambedkar was born, the day Abraham Lincoln was shot, around the time of the Spring festival of Baisakhi, and three days before a neighbouring general visits Delhi to see a cricket match.
The Rules
- Posts must either be made by Indians or must focus on India or Indians.
- Send in permalinks to the individual blog entries only, not just the URL. If the permalink is not working, send me the title and date of the blog entry.
- You can nominate your own posts or someone else's.
- You can submit any type of posts except personal journal entries.
Directions for nominating entries for the Mela
- Drop it as a comment to this post. (No, don’t send me a mail. Just a comment here)
- The entries have to be dated between April 7 and 14.
- Please send your nominations to me latest by April 14, 6 pm IST.
The mela should be up by 9 pm on April 14.
I nominate “The Stop Blogging Campaign“, my post dated 9 April.
Thanks
Here is my nomination: http://ashishniti.blogspot.com/2005/04/anarcho-capitalism-is-not-sustainable.html
I know the entry is dated April 1st but I specifically reserved this entry for this Blog Mela because what better place to put an entry regarding Anarcho-Capitalism than at AnarCapLib?
Another nomination: http://ashishniti.blogspot.com/2005/04/india-as-superpower.html
I nominate my friends write up on “religion” for the blog mela.
OK Yazad, you snared me. Through his eyes.
i nominate a new photoblog by r balaji.
Hi,
I want you to celebrate and reward mediocrity.
Driving me crazy
That way everybody is special, so no one is.
Hi Yazad,
As always, I would like to contribute my $ 0.02 for this weeks mela:
Information Security For Behenjis
I had kinda typed the post out early in the morning, but been having bandwidth issues in the morning so couldnt post it but mailed it to myself.
Hurriedly put up the post on my blog from a cybercafe, without doing extensive proofreading so forgive the occasional type of you find one
What a good time to inaugurate my piece on Open Letter To Tehelka.
Yazad, pls don’t look at the date, and dear readers, while reading/skimming thru it, I suggest you don’t look at the time as well. Keep aside a good 15 mins for a quick read ;-)(& an hour, if you want to go through all the links).
The reason I am showing up so late is that after putting in all that, I wanted Tehelka’s ack’gmnt/response of the same and even verification of the facts–just incase, before declaring my URL. They have noticed it last week(albeit after a sustained followup). I have been told, extracts of it will be published :)
Though I am guilty of not resisting the urge to start commenting on other blogs and slowly leaking it out ;-)
I nominate my post “The Ambassador effect” for this weeks Indian blog mela. http://ecophilo.blogspot.com/2005/04/ambassador-effect.html
Well, let me join the fun, too! Here are two entries.
The first entry is on whether our elite institutions such as IISc and TIFR should start a bachelors program, particularly in the sciences.
The second one is on why we should not be wasting our money, time and effort on laptop for poor kids.
Hi Yazad,
a self-nomination here
Nominating
For and against Indo-Pak reunification
there’s lots of good posts at Neha Vishwanathan’s blog. This one perhaps for the mela ?
Thanks everyone for contributing nominations. The mela is being written up right now and should be posted shortly. Nominations therefore are closed.
