Blog Mela: Call for entries #2

December 27, 2004

Ladies and gentlemen, our beloved Yazad Jal, who blames the viruses for his inability to post his Blog Mela on time, has now created a cascading wave of schedule changes to the darn Mela (I think I won't use the word "tsunami" at the moment.) Since his mela was a week late, my Christmas edition shall now be the New Year edition Blog Mela (apologies to Nilesh.)

I'm sure you're familiar with the rules, but here we go anyway:

  1. Posts must either be made by Indians or must focus on India or Indians.
  2. Post permalinks to the individual blog entries, not the blog URL. If the permalink is not working, post the title and date of the blog entry.
  3. You can nominate your own posts or someone else's
  4. You can submit any type of posts except personal journal entries. I am serious about this.
  5. The entries have to be dated between December 26-31.
  6. Last date for submission of entries is 01 January 2005.
  7. My own little rule: Entries written in SMS-lingo will not be considered, no matter how insightful.

C'mon folks, shake off that holiday lethargy and write something interesting.

The last mela was held at AnarCapLib and the next one will be at Nilesh's weblog.

Why look too far for an excellent entry for the year end mela?

A blog mela seems almost trivial at a time like this, but I suppose the show must go on. I know we're not supposed to nominate an entire blog, but the SEA-EAT blog is an outstanding achievement.

And while I'm at it, also self nominating "Memories of another tragedy"

I put in a blog entry about my favorite topic: the scam that is Social Security in the USA.

I am rather new to blogging. Hope I got the URL right per your guidelines.

What do they mean by "Social Security taxes may have to be raised?"

I had a dream to make my firm, nevertheless I did not have enough of money to do it. Thank heaven my colleague told to utilize the mortgage loans. Thus I used the credit loan and realized my old dream.
