August 22, 2010 · by · in Delhi Bloggers Meets, III - Activities/Events, Tech talk

This event took place exactly 4 years ago, in May’2006 when I had completed one year of blog. By sheer work of fate BBC World had reached out to me to talk about the use of internet amongst Indian youth. Back then there was no social media, blogging was the only cool thing. I organized […]

One perfect example of elitism

February 1, 2009 · by · in II - VIEWS AND OPINIONS, new media, Tech talk

In my previous post besides pointing out the fact that Bloggers are making an unnecessary hue and cry over this Kunte v. Dutt issue, I also brought my reader’s attention to a particular angst I have against a culture of elitism in Indian social media. I have had this for quite some time. But never […]

This is my mind

June 13, 2008 · by · in Tech talk

Every time I do they say, “there she goes, there she goes again, trying her best, to hog as much attention as she could get.” So this time I thought I’d keep a low profile. But then Arun nudged me, “Why don’t I see you around on BCB list? Why are you so silent, either […]

Blogging Outreach Project

December 12, 2006 · by · in Delhi Bloggers Meets, III - Activities/Events

I believe its time I write about the Blogging Outreach Project I had designed and now look forward to take further.

By that definition this project should not be called ‘Outreach’ project because, blogging is everybody’s domain. The […]
