Ungratefulness

A little bit of introspection has led me to believe that I have been really ungrateful to people, especially to the blogging community over the last few months. Although, everyone does turn up and comment on each of my posts, I hardly take any trouble to comment. I visit and read each post. Appreciate it deep down. And then open another tab. I haven’t updated my blogroll in ages. Many friends and acquaintances do blog and surely giving them a mention isn’t a herculean task. But yet, I don’t do it. I’m kinda bad. I know. But I’ve decided to make amends.

This post is all about fellow bloggers. Their defining traits and qualities. And at the end of it, i’ll surely be updating my blogroll. So without further delay, let us rip into the beautiful people and their blogs.

Pratap Kaul – http://www.rollercoasterrumble.blogspot.com/

Sirjee epitomises the ideal blogger. Each of his posts are deeply thought, articulately written and well presented. And the fact that he’s a true photography enthusiast helps as his blog is adorned with pics which he himself clicks. Takes keen interest in sport and politics and every post is profound and rational. The beacon of SPIT blogging.

Sridhar Rao – http://thesongremainsthesame.wordpress.com/

Pound for pound, the best blogger in college. Given that he’s the youngest of the lot, he doesn’t much visibilty per se. But as time ages, he’ll get his due. His repertoire of words, emotions, thoughts is a treat. And the humour is a bit Wodehouseian to be honest. I can picture him writing for one of the daily/weekly publications with fanmail & marry me requests flooding his inbox.

Siddharth Deekshit – http://ssssssiddharth.blogspot.com/

He can give Sridhar a real run for his money, provided he remembers his password for more than a month. Education, American politics, world relations are plum areas of his and everytime he writes a post, its an intense read.

Rishkul Kulkarni – http://acousticity.wordpress.com/

His is really an unadulterated ‘blog’ in every sense of the term. Its his expression space. His diary. Every post has an intense personal experience related to it. Unabashed and honest to the core, it really is not aimed at any audience per se and is a treat for someone who can decipher metaphors and poems.

Dimple Nangia – http://poisonivy68.blogspot.com/

Female bloggers. May their tribe increase. Dimple’s blog is a very consistent and nice read. Very versatile. Posts really differ in length and content. Every time you visit, you’ll get a different read. Refreshing yet honest. Also, one remarkable trait of her is that she reads every other possible blog and rarely fails to comment on any of the posts.

Brett Fernandes -  http://lawofomerta.blogspot.com/

His blog resembles mine greatly. Soccer, grumpiness, messed up thoughts and rants. All the more reason for me to like him

Kirti Khopkar – http://alostdiscoverer.wordpress.com/

Pragmatic and very readable. Its has a distinct connect with you as she writes what she sees. She’s trying her hand at poems and limericks recently, and I can’t really comment on them as I , to save my life, can’t understand poetry !

Harshad Deshpande – http://hdeshpande.blogspot.com/

A very similar blog to Kirti’s. What he sees is what you get. All in all , a satisfying read.

Rohit Ajitkumar – http://adatelessdiary.blogspot.com/

I’ve just got to know him and his blog and it is a real treat. Composed and very thoughfully written, he writes on pretty much the same topics as me – football, quizzing, college and arbit. His quizzing posts are really heartfelt and I can pretty much relate to them

Adhitya ‘Anna’ Iyer -  http://annnanymous.wordpress.com/

Anna is a very creative person. And you can tell that from his blog. He’s pretty good and words and puns and he gets them in wherever he can. Just 3 posts into his blog, i’m looking forward to more from him.

Tanush Parihar – http://freakometer.wordpress.com/

Blog in a very nascent stage. Would be very unfair to pass a judgement.

Anand Markande – http://craponomics.blogspot.com/

Ungratefulness. Thats what it is. I haven’t really tried to read his blog. But from now, it’ll be a different story. Also, there’s a entrepreneurial streak in him, something that has always interested me. We could be e-buddies

Yugandhar Garde – http://www.yugisalwaysconfused.blogspot.com/

Same applies as Anand. I’ll try to improve. Btw, he has the coolest theme of us all.

Mayuresh Madbhavi – http://worthlessexistence.wordpress.com/

He’s just started this one. So we’ll give him time. And hopefully, it’ll be nice

Sardar Patel Quiz Club – http://spqc.wordpress.com/

Its our baby. So we had to put it here. The main challenge with this blog is sustainence (spelling ?). There’s a lot of enthusiasm about it now. Beginners’ luck. The challenge is to maintain this positivity and euphoria over a greater period of time. It’ll be a difficult task. But we’ll give it our best shot.

Chinmay Kamat -http://beckhamsbarber.wordpress.com/

Well, its really difficult to pass a verdict on your own blog. But from what I see, I don’t have the ability to write a long drawn essay. I can not collect my thoughts over a longer period of time. I’m more of an idea person. I try to imporvise and put in a decent post every time. But sometimes, it does get awry. As I say in the About me page, I’m jack of small trades, master of none. The ultimate aim is to be jack of small trades, master of one.

There may be many other bloggers who I might not be aware of. Would love to add them to my *updated* blogroll. So let me know. Also, if I’ve missed out on someone, just bring it to my notice. For you all know, I’m not evil enough to do it on purpose.

Happy blogging !
