I had always wanted to do this.
Take my favorite posts from over the years and put them in one easy to find place where I can go hide when I wanted to run away from the world. Tonight I decided to do something about it. For the benefit of my newly minted ranks of blog readers who had missed out on my earlier rants and raves as well as my regular readers who may have missed out on some of these during self imposed blackouts when my barely adequate wordpress skills crashed my blog
Here are my favorite posts from the Desi Back to Desh blog. 42 posts, 10 categories, 3 years.
