Best Indian//Desi Blogs Sunil's Choice: The Indian Blogs That I Like
Today there are hundreds of thousands of blogs from and about India. I don't pretend that I know all of them. However over the past years, there are some that I like and I go back to them off and on. Here are some of those blogs. They are all in English. Some times, when I find new ones that I like, I add them to my list. Some times, I feel that they are not maintaining their quality, so I remove them from my list. They are great for casual surfing on lazy afternoons. All blog-links open in a new window. Obviously, blogs here reflect my preferences, so you may not agree with my choices!
You have some faviourite Desi bloggers or faviourite blogs about anything Indian, that is missing from this list and you would like to add it here? Write to me about it at: sunil(at)kalpana(dot)it
If I like it too, it will be added to this list.
Cooking - Recipes Blogs
I love food blogs. I like the ones with good images more. Sometimes, I read them to feel hungry. Some times, I read them to get inspirations for my kitchen experiments. If these experiments do work, I can blog about them in my Italian blog about Indian recipes and brag about my good cooking!

General Blogs
I think that most blogs come under this category, when people write about their opinions, daily lives, their reflections about events, etc. Some of them area little specific, for example, writing mainly about history or archeology, or science, or law. The advantage of having such a long list is that you can just close your eyes and click - this may mean discovering a new blogger that you may like.

Travel Blogs
I like travel blogs, especially when they post good pictures as well. I have to travel a lot for work, and increasingly I find the flights and waits at the airports too tiring, though I like once I arrive in a place. Travel blogs allow me to visit places without the bad part of journeys and waiting!
