A short note to welcome on board MadMan who will be guest blogging on AnarCapLib.
Expect some juicy, irreverent and very thought provoking posts!

Alter Ego is back in action.
Somehow the blogroll does not show *new* when certain blogs are updated. Will my techie friends please enlighten me?

I’ve decided to name my blog “AnarCapLib.” I shall explain it in detail when I write up the “about me” page. Those who know me know what it means. For the others, it’s rather easy to guess. Anyway, all shall be revealed in around a month’s time!
A request to nice folks who have me on […]

The next blog mela will be observed by JK on Varnam. For instructions and more, click here.

For my money, the blogger of the week is Niraj. One, he blogs around five times a day; two, he includes at least one well written comment on policy every day; three, he’s giving me a major complex! The top five from Niraj are:

Rebuilding Afghanistan through oil | Belgian War Crimes (I love it when supercilious nations get their comeuppance!) More here | India’s pathetic adoption system | The conversion tamasha between the world two largest (and most proselytising) religions | and the best, Niraj’s cheer for globalisation–with facts collected by a global attitude survey.

. . .the developing world is telling these anti-globalisation protestors to take a hike, or, better yet, jump off a cliff.

Bravo!

Shyamal’s Photolog is […]

Starting this on my brother’s birthday!
Enjoy life and I’ll wait a day before bombarding my bullshit. If you belive in astrology then all my shit is bullshit as I’m supposedly a Taurean. Oops! You guessed it — I think astrology is bullshit personified.
