Come one, come all to the next weekly Blog Mela, showcasing interesting writing from around the Indian blogosphere. This is your chance to nominate your Booker Prize winning, Arundhati Roy busting, golden prose. And even if the Booker is in your dreams, you can still find a place here. 🙂
Here are the rules:
a) Either you or your blog entry must have something to do with India. The entry must be made between 8 October and 14 October.
b) Don’t bother with the personal posts. We won’t carry them.
c) Send me a cheque for $10 as a nomination fee.
If I’m in a good mood, I might even waive the $10. Who knows…
The Mela will be posted on 14 October for the world to see. Post your nominations as a comment or send me a mail at madman AT madmanweb dot com.
