I don’t much care for the Blogstreet blog rankings. (Once again, not out of any spite. This blog is currently ranked # 8 out of 1,240 Indian blogs on Blogstreet)
Blogstreet relies exclusively on blogrolling.com for the ranking. Which leads to funny results. Check out the top 100 blogs. #11 stopped blogging four months […]

I’d like to welcome Sauvik Chakraverti as our new guest blogger. Sauvik is a freelance journalist and the winner of the first Frédéric Bastiat Prize for Journalism. He was for many years the Senior Assistant Editor at the Economic Times. Sauvik’s books include Antidote:Essays Against the Socialist Indian State, and a sequel, Antidote2 apart from […]

The latest Bharteeya Blog Mela is up at Nerve Endings Firing Away. Good job Patrix! And I’m happy to see Hindi blogs becoming a regular feature. The blog mela schedule is here, and next month we’ll see the mela hosted on one of the earliest Hindi blogs, Debashish’s नुक्ता चीनी Nukta Chini.
The next mela […]

Poor Sameer over at Opti-mystic is finding that he needs all the Opti-mysm he can get because not enough people are submitting their entries for the next Blog Mela. So do your bit and either write something interesting, or nominate something you found elsewhere, won’t you?

Tyler Cowen of Marginal Revolution is in Bombay today and tomorrow. I will be meeting up with him and if there are any cartel members or others who would like to join us, please contact me.

Wow! 22 nominations for the blog mela. Makes me feel better already. Yup, health is back on line and the world looks good!
The one new flavour I got was in the number of Hindi blogs nominated. There were a few earlier (where is नुक्ता चीनी Nukta Chini now?), but this mela is in some […]

I am feeling a bit under the weather and the blog mela posting will be delayed by a few hours. I’d try and post it tonight if possible. If not, tomorrow morning. Apologies for postponing your reading pleasure!

The next Bharteeya Blog Mela will be hosted here on October 28.
For the trivia inclined, I started blogging on October 28. A few famous people started their lives (Bill Gates, Julia Roberts, my kid brother) and some lives ended (John Locke). The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on October 28 and it’s the Greek […]

The Bharateeya Blog Mela has been close to my heart and I’ve enjoyed hosting, participating and winning the prize. I’m not terribly happy with the way it’s going right now so time to blog my thoughts.
Firstly, I don’t like the idea of voting for the “best” post of the month. Please note, it’s not the […]

If you were trying to comment today and got a message like “Your comment could not be submitted due to questionable content” please accept my apologies and repost your comment.
The webguru was a bit ambitious in his comment spam trapping and ended up blocking all comments — including mine!
Thanks Chandrashekhar and Amol for pointing […]

Just a quick plug here, folks: The next Blog Mela will be hosted on my site, so please do head on over and nominate your favourite posts. Remember, you too could rig win your way to a $10 Amazon gift voucher from Shanti Aunty.

We’re #3 in a google search for “tarot card readers bangalore” — I suppose MadMan is to be blamed!
Update (September 30): #2 now. And if I post again on the topic, maybe we’d rise to #1. Delicious irony!

Thanks to the insistence of a fellow blogger who’s far geekier than me, I’ve installed Mozilla Firefox as my default browser.
Arnab was gushing about the Spread Firefox campaign and from a first look, it does seem to be a successful case of viral marketing. But what I really like about Firefox is their policy […]

I’ve just joined a new initiative CEO Bloggers, run by Guillaume du Gardier, a French PR professional (and CEO). Would be even more fun if I could go to their meetings in Paris!
Here’s their welcome notice:
If you are CEO, Owner, Founder, Partner or Associates of your company, AND author of a weblog, then we’ll be […]

Aloha.
As the de facto webmaster of this site, I keep making minor improvements to this site, mostly at the instance of the pester-power of the markup-challenged owner. :)
All comment boxes on AnarCapLib now have a formatting toolbar that let you write some HTML to format your comments.
Here’s a bonus for you readers: there are still […]

Don Boudreaux at Cafe Hayek (which is fast becoming my favourite blog) looks behind the facade of jobs and job creation.
On the drive from Sofia to Jundola, we saw women in the fields cutting hay with large scythes, just as I suspect it was done there 100 years ago � just as I suspect it […]

Somebody ought to tell Jivha that 01 April was more than three months back.

Unless he’s serious, in which case the Cartel offers its condolences. Maybe he can finally take a vacation.

Update: Seeing that the Indian blogosphere is running low on quality posts in the last week or two, anyone want to suggest a good […]

No time at all, but have a great itch to blog. So enjoy these timepass links:
One of the great mysteries of blogging solved!
Wardrobe malfunction or nouvelle couture?

So what do you call a group of bloggers who are staunch advocates of the free market? A cartel! Sounds anthithetical? Yes. But don’t blame us. The moniker was first used by Shanti and it seems to have stuck.
Ravi, MadMan and Gautam were (are) guest bloggers on AnarCapLib and we started to, well, dominate the […]

A good friend of mine has a favourite saying: “There are three ways of getting anything you want. Love, money or force. Libertarians don’t believe in force. So you’ve got to be content with either love or money”
Want Gmail?
GmailSwap shows you how via love (and maybe some money). If it’s only cold cash […]
