We turned one today, so happy birthday to us!

Over the past year, our effort has been to highlight voices with as diverse views as possible. These are interesting times for India and as blogging gets more and more popular, there will be more voices on the same issues. And more voices on new issues. We firmly believe in linking to views that aren’t necessarily popular, views that challenge our own.

There is so much being posted by so many people about so many things these days, that it is a challenge to sift through it all. It’s a challenge that demands much from all of us contributors, but it’s also a challenge that we - all of us at Blogbharti - enjoy. Much as we like the creme-de-la-creme of the blogroom, we also know that there is much more fun going on in the backbenches. Discovering a good new blog is like discovering that book-shop in a corner of the city you never thought existed.

There are many such book-shops, coffee houses and chai waalahs, mithai ki dukaans and dhaabas that are yet to be discovered. There are many new places to enjoy the sunset, the sunrise and a view of the sea. We look forward to that journey. And we look forward to you joining us, as you have in the last one year, with your continued readership, comments and hat-tips at Blogbharti.

We also take this opportunity to invite feedback and suggestions. What can we do better? Are there any features, any add-ins or widgets or apps that you’d love to see here? Are there any topics or issues that we’ve missed out? Or, do you think we’re biased? Do we push only one agenda? Tell us. We look forward to hearing from you. Mail us at contact[at]blogbharti[dot]com.

Thank you.
