The objective of this blog is to scan the entire blogosphere of Delhi every week and then highlight/showcase the best, the most deserving to be read, blog-post.
Just one single blog-post in an entire week, every week.
It might sound like it'd be a difficult task to scan and read all of Delhi's blogosphere every week just to showcase one single blog-post, but right now, I believe it will not be that difficult.
To begin with, I do not believe there are too many of Delhi's residents who blog. And many out of those don't do it regularly and consistently. So, I'm quite confident we will be able to achieve our objective and be able to do it without much effort.
Criteria For A Blog To Be Considered
Only those blogs that are listed on this site's Blogroll will be considered and followed in our weekly assessment of Delhi's blogosphere.
And to have your blog enlisted in our blog-roll, a blog would have to meet the following criteria. (For the most updated criteria for inclusion go here --
Register Your Blog)
First, the author of the blog, aka blogger, must be a resident of Delhi. Resident in this context does not mean legal residency. All it means is that the blogger should be living in Delhi or its surrounding NCR regions; namely, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad and Ghaziabad, for some reasonable span of time.
It also does not mean a blog will be disqualified from consideration if the blogger has temporarily moved to a different city outside of Delhi/NCR. As long as the blogger can be considered a Delhi resident, it will stay on our Blogroll.
Second, the blog must have been on the blogging scene for at least a few months with regular blog entries. (This rule is quite subjective.)
Third, there are some restrictions for inclusion based on the subject matter of a blog.
- Any business/company or commercial blogs will not be considered. In other words, if your blog is about promoting some product or service we can not consider it.
- Any blog that incites hate or violence against an ethnic/religious group will not be considered.
- Any blog that deals in the pornographic will not be considered.
For now these are the only rules that will be followed for a blog to be considered in our weekly review of Delhi's blogosphere. We're sure we haven't thought of everything. We'll add more as we go along.
I know these rules are a bit open to interpretation, but as they say, no rules are set in stone. We'll use them and modify them as need be. It's not like we're running a reputed international journal here.
If you have any questions or concerns, you can air them in the comment section below or write to us at delhispeakslts(at)gmail.com

If you know a Delhi blog which is not listed on our blogroll, then please suggest it.
Launch Date
I'm still working on setting-up this blog which will take a few more days. Once I'm all done setting it up, I'll announce the official launch date.
Stay tuned...
