Dear bloggers,

I have been reading a large number of reviews and requests for reviews. I have found, that more often than not, reviewers provide a large amount of time and discussion on the layout, the template, the widgets and so forth.

To put it mildly, we focus extensively on the technology part of it, without providing any constructive/substantive feedback (beyond 'interesting', 'wide variety' and 'good' and 'nice': words which mean little! except for putting smiles on our faces) on the content.

This, I think defeats in certain ways the real purpose of blogging: which as I understand was to democratise writing and publishing, by making it available to all. By ensuring that we were not trapped in tech glitches and wizardry and self-promotion.

So, I propose to review your blogs, but focus on the content of it. Comments on deepening it, adding more layers to your writing, exploring other dimensions of your posts, the graphic quality, and so forth.

My purpose for doing it: discovering substantive blogs and their authors.

I look forward to a manageable trickle and not a deluge, to begin with!

And in return, I look forward to your comments on my blog as well. Don't worry, I am not reopening it because I am unemployed, but because I want to enlarge my google reader and discover many more worthwhile blogs. Just so you know: I read English and Hindi. And can manage with Gujarati and Urdu.

Other vernacular blogs and bloggers: you are welcome to comment on my blog.

We can divide the world in two categories - those who believe that it can be divided in two categories and those who do not. On the one hand, we have countries in European Union who have moved beyond the debate for Capital Punishment. On the other hand there are authoritarian states, which use Capital Punishment as a tool to subjugate. In this regard, I find the Indian approach well balanced. There are enough provisions and sufficient delay built in the system to identify the outliers. This system works hard to avoid hanging the criminal with a shadow of doubt. And very few cases ultimately result in the capital punishment. I have followed a few cases in UK, where I have noticed public anger when heinous crimes result in a life sentence, which does not mean sentenced for life. I recall one case where the state had to protect a murderer because his life was at risk from fellow prisoners. (Suggesting that convicted murderers do not find all murderers to be equal.) I think, there are times when a state does not have to state a position unambiguously. Capital Punishment is one such topic. Apologies for posting unrelated comment but found a few posts in this thread that touched this topic.
