Avid And Goliath

There Are No Limits To Creativity

It's great to see such a vibrant blogging community in India. As a professional journalist as well as an active blogger, I'm particularly heartened to see the mainstream media picking up the vibe in Bangalore. As you can see at Dhivya's energetic blog Coffee Conversation, a recent meeting of avid bloggers in that southern city was even covered by one of the local papers.

It's great to see this sort of groundswell, which was reflected in recent posts on Rambling With Bellur. In particular, Bellur's guest blogger, Anand Balaji, made some pertinent observations in the post Cardinal Rules for all ye Bloggers.

Maybe I can add something here, to encourage newcomers who are sometimes tentative about blogging and who might wonder where the parameters lie. There is a simple answer - the only limit for a blogger is the extent of his or her creativity. In early March, I wrote a two-part series of posts, based on questions posed by other bloggers and these guidelines can be seen at Put Your Blog on the Reader Radar and Bloggers Deserve the House of Lauds. Good luck to all - and remember, there are many of us out there who are always willing to answer your queries.
