I was
tagged by MiddleZoneMusings to post on a new meme called “Ten of my Favourite Posts” started by
William Tully Sounds like “Oprah’s Favourite Things for Summer”! Anyway, the idea of this meme is to pick ten posts from the past, which will give an idea , to new readers , of what this site is about.
The title of my blog is “Thoughts of a Rambler”. So, you can understand the difficulty in choosing posts to give a sample to readers. I write about “anything and everything under the Mediterranean sun” and occasionally under the other celestial objects which show up over other parts of the world.
So, here are the ten posts which i think might give you an idea of what to expect at srajaram.com(oldest to the newest). Btw, most of them are from the “humor” category, as i actually don’t write about anything useful on this site!

Bird Flu mania gripped the world, especially Asia in early 2006 and that was probably the best time to make the movie “

If you ever visit Cyprus as a tourist, one of the main tourist attractions on your itinerary should be a visit to a Cypriot Doctor (No, i don’t wish you to be unwell, just go there as a tourist). If you want to be prepared in advance on what to expect, read “
Quack Quack, Is the Doctor in?“.

Rules in Cyprus are different for locals than for outsiders. You should know the tricks of the trade if you want things to happen your way in Cyprus. Some theories just don’t work in Cyprus –

If you are from India or from the UK or from the US and have happened to attend any Indian party, you might be able to associate with my observations about Punjabi songs titles “

Bethann Frillman Photography: Bethann is a professional black-and-white children’s photographer. She is the wife of a former Bitsian Subodh Karnik. I came across this link from the latest BITSAA (BITS Alumni Association) Summer 2007 edition of Sandpaper Magazine. The photos are amazing and i have saved many of them into my “inspire” folder hoping that, someday, i shall be able to take photographs like hers.
That’s it for this week. Enjoy Surfing.

Usually many bloggers do their weekly round-up of interesting links on a Sunday. It is difficult for me to do the same, as Sunday is probably one of the busiest days of the week for me, as i try to spend as much time as possible outside the house savouring the creations of nature. So, i have decided to share the interesting finds of the week on a Wednesday!

Point Blank by Vikram Nandwani. In Vikram’s words, “I am doing custom caricatures to try & raise money for a Community Conservation Project in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra”. His caricatures are funny and thought provoking. I have posted two of them below. Go over to
his site for many more.

California Coastline Photos. Aerial photographs of the entire coastline of California. If you are planning a trip/trek to any of the coastal beaches/areas, then the photos on this site will help you evaluate the place before you actually visit.
That’s it for this Wednesday. Happy Surfing!

If you have not heard about the
Group Writing Project at Problogger, then there is a good chance that you started blogging yesterday
. Everyone who’s anyone is contributing to this project and since i am one of them, i too wanted to write a top 5 list. I thought about the top 5 list i could write on, for a while and then seeing the massive number of top 5 lists being created, i decided to write a top 5 list of things that could be done with all these top 5 lists. So, here goes…
-
Link to all the lists. I have already done so by creating a
list of all lists. This will not only help me keep a track of all the links i have been to, in a central place (my blog), but also provide loads of surfing opportunities to the readers of my blog. Also, nothing is lost in linking to others. “Linking” is the foundation upon which the blogging world exists and as it is often said “Always share the link love”!
-
Read each and every Top 5 list. Yes, you must be thinking that i must be crazy to read through
500 such lists, but believe me, at the end of it, you will realise its worth. It doesn’t matter whether you are a geek, a wanderlust, a music lover, a sports lover or whatever, there is a list for you in here. Read them, get to know the people who wrote them and who knows, you might make new friends in the blogosphere. There is a good chance that you have never visited many of the blogs in this list. You may like the writing styles of some of these bloggers and end up adding them to your regular feeds.
-
Some of the lists might fascinate you to the extent that you could start a Blog Meme on the same topic on your blog. A Blog Meme is “an idea that is shared and passed from blog to blog, like a question posted in one blog and answered in many other blogs”. For example, you might like the list “
Top 5 reasons boys are better than girls” and decide to start a blog meme on the same topic on your blog and tag others. But be careful, you might end up being the one responsible for the online war of the sexes!
-
Comment on the lists you like. Don’t spam the blogs in the hope that they link back to you, but leave comments on the lists you felt a connection with or ones you felt you could contribute more to. For example, geeks (anyone who uses Mac must be a geek!) might want to contribute lot more items to the list “
5 Mac Apps for Bloggers“.
-
Promote the lists on your blog. This doesn’t end with just linking to the lists, but also providing your input on the ones you like and recommending them to you readers. Some of you out there might be high-profile bloggers and if you recommend any of the lists, it will result in that blogger getting more exposure. Surely, if their writing is good, they deserve that exposure, don’t they?
So, if you haven’t yet participated in this project, do go over to problogger and participate.
