Call for entries

blog-mela-small4.jpg

Simple and straight! The Blog Mela is back on at Selective Amnesia. Nominate entries that are worth reading, and worth talking about. The final list of nominated entries will be put up on the 21st or the 22nd of January 2005. Enjoy.

Oh shit! I am supposed to put up rules. So here goes

  • Posts by Indians, or about India. Please! This is supposed to be the Bharateeya Blog Mela!
  • No personal posts, says The High Priestess. I don’t think so. Go on, and nominate personal posts. I set the rules on this blog (I think so)
  • Since this is the weekly blog mela, please limit it to the posts between 14th of January to the 20th of January, both dates inclusive.
  • Let’s be a little experimental shall we? Let’s nominate posts from blogs we haven’t heard or seen before yet! Let’s get some new people into this. Which means, the cartel stays away a bit. ;)
  • Finally, let’s have enough nomination. That ought to be the only rule. I am vain enough to think I am read by a lot of people. So all you people, nominate, and by the dozens.

Update: 18 Jan ‘05: Comment moderation, i.e. the Typekey thingy, has been removed to help you folks nominate. I shall leave comment moderation off till the 21st. Now that I have made it all easier for you to nominate, what are you waiting for?

You can also mail in your nominations to me at chandrachoodan@gmail.com with “Blog Mela” in the subject line.
