In the past couple days, I have been blog-hopping some Indian bloggers I found references of, either from the Yahoo 360 community or while googling for a book review (my memory has mostly done quite opposite of what it was meant for). And boy, was I in for a pleasant surprise. I rushed through a range of emotions as I jumped from one to another, reading their blogs, skimming the feedback, hopping onto someone I found in the blogroll or those from the comments. It is one remarkable exposition of talent that I have found. So far, to my sheer ignorance, I was always under the impression that Indian bloggers mostly belonged to the US, were inherently techies and hence followed that genre, and that those who were from India were only a celebrated few that adorned the likes of rediff and indiatimes. Am I glad to be proven uninformed!
These blogs that I am talking about are not one of those 84000-a-day creations, neither come today gone tomorrow. I came across these as stupendously varied in interests, exuding amazing clarity of thought and presentation, blog entries that were very well categorized, displaying brilliant command over language and very vocal.
For those curious, here are some pointers. How far you hop, well, thats another thing.
Jabberwock, A writer and his web-blahg, Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing-wax, k'uvvat-e-guftaar.
For a while, I wondered at the concentration of bloggers only in specific regions of India. But then, I came across Baghdad Burning. If someone could blog from here, its only a matter of time!

Coming to your blog today was vital. I realized how much oblivious I have been to the world around me lately. It is as if the whole world is rushing past me and I have taken time off from the race. May be I was on "vacation". But its time to come back, join the race get some inputs, gather more perspectives and think!
