While we wait for the year’s 2nd mela to be put up at Nilesh’s place, all ye bloggers who wish their screeds included in the 3rd भारतीय blog मेला this year — direct your entries this way or comment below. Entries submitted ought to have an India angle in there somewhere (either that, or be scoop-memepool weird). Entries in Hindi are welcome because I can read the language. I’m not going to constrain submitters on ‘personal’ posts, but they have to be well-written to be included in the mela.
Entries for this mela should have been posted between Jan 8 through 14.
Update 12 Jan: The Mela will be up after 9pm GMT 14th Jan.
Post-tsunami thoughts 1: Fighting poverty
and
Post-tsunami thoughts 4: Lessons from a disaster both from Amit Varma
How to make perfect steamed rice from Madhu Menon’s food blog (Yes, I love the simplest things explained well)
How I’d rob fishermen of their land from Ravikiran with my followup on Corruption Regular Zone
On me, two more self nomination (no need to pick all!)
Aiyar, Boudreaux and Price Gouging
Aiyar and Boudreaux — Part II
Goa Kerala Mix. Experiences of a Mallu in Goan heartland. Nostalgic about malluland. Watch the series on Kerala.
What’s the mela without some rampant self promotion? I’m back from a long sleep, and like aging pop stars, I’ve rehashed a bunch of my old taglines with a passionate plee for votes on the Indibloggies. If you include it within the first 3, I’ll even throw in a special tagline plug for your own blog ($1000,000 value) for absolutely free! And it comes with a 30 day, no questions asked, “fuck off!”. This offer is available through this comment board only!

प्रेमगली अति सांकरी
Dear Prasenjit,
Considering your positive attitude ,I have nominated Hindi posts despite deciding not to nominate in Blog Mela. Atul’s post is nominated by me thrice.He has withdrawn it once .Now you have the right to take any decision.His post no longer belongs to him ONLY once he posted it.Atul ab aur kuchh mat likhana.Itana adhikar to hamara hai tum par.
Anup, re what you said in comment #22: posting anything on the web grants implicit freedom to link to and quote (subject to fair use, of course). As such, “please don’t include my posts” on the web are pointless.
