To have a Blog is the hottest trend today and why not? After all it is so handy to start a blog, just login or register to blogger.com/wordpress.com and your blog will be ready in minutes. After ample of news and media attentions went to famous blogs and bloggers, orkut also became one of the favourite spot for Indian bloggers community.

To increase comments, to get review, to get more cool blog themes and tips and tricks , bloggers on orkut gets a wide and quite strong platform to publicize their blogs and to learn about blogging. Some bloggers simply try to make their pocket little heavy by adding advertisements from Adsense, one of the Google’s product .On the other hand are some bloggers which have a passion for writing and are completely dedicated towards their blog and have displayed a good example of honesty for their work and readers, who really write on interesting and useful niche. During my journey and research of about a week of finding such fascinating blogs on orkut I came across many blogs out which I considered the following 10 to be taken as the best because of their respective quality.

Now, there may be plenty of other blogs which you already know and think are the best and may be you have never even heard about the blogs I am writing about . But that’s my own opinion for them, and I believe and hope that you all will agree to me once you visit them.

So, presenting before you the 10 shining gems in the world of blogs, which I came across on Orkut:

1. Surajit Dasgupta

Today when most of the news channels and print media have become puppets of some political parties, and we, the mass is watching this all as a hushed spectator, Surajit’s blog comes up in front and stands by the truth, no matter what consequences it could face because of this brave gesture. His ideology is to bring in notice the Truth; it doesn’t really matter to him if it proves to be a bitter sip for society, political group, or any organization. I remember my reaction when I walked out of the movie hall after watching “Rang De Basanti”. This blog left me exactly to same level of reaction after I went through it. One can call it a complete eye opener. It is a great concept with an extremely powerful throw. One of the most respected blog I came across during this entire activity. I am sure anyone will feel the same for this blog once he reaches here. Hats off to your endeavor Surajit!

2. Ken786

Kenneth Saldanha, a 23 year old senior officer from Times of India ,started the blog titled Definitely Maybe in 2004 and has reached today to somewhere around 65 fine articles. The blog where he pours out all tastes of emotions beautifully embedded in his impressive way of writing. It gives reader a nice mix of humor, romance, suspense, drama, bizarre emotions in a man’s life and what not, all in his bold and fantastic approach of expression. One can make out the altitude of his writing by the comments he has got from his readers itself, where his writing has been compared to that of “5 Point Someone” fame Chetan Bhagat! His blog is a perfect example to show someone’s seniority and experience in blogging. The quote suits the blog perfectly “Work speaks for itself”. His blog keeps you involved and intact and beware! He can make you an addict of his writing!

3. GodYears

Roshan Radhakrishnan, is a 27 year old doctor, an anesthesia resident, based in Kerala, but studying in Pune presently.
Like a million other blogs, godyears started out on a whim. One of his friends who had known him for years advised him to start blogging as he knew about Roshan’s craze for writing and ‘ a natural flair for whacky comedy’.

Godyears started out as a platform for small comical anecdotes, but has risen to great stature over a period of years. It emerged as a vent for the entire saga, which would have simply roamed in author’s head otherwise. Be they hilarious or grim, it’s a forum of discussion for the author. “It’s been a medium via which I’ve made some great like minded friends with no bias of caste, religion or any of that crap which separates us in real life… where else but in a blog can you come to like someone else for their mind before you’ve even met them” Says a keyed up Roshan.

His writing and blog has the ability to affect people and their thinking in a major way .He is known as one of the promising writers. The write ups are far ahead of all the common stuff .His articles can bring a smile on your face, can make u roll down a tear over your cheek or can make you jump instantly out of excitement. The blog is a mix of fiction, reviews, and his own experiences of being a doctor by profession, and all placed in a bracing and refreshing way.

4. Macabreday

“Everyone is entitled to my opinion”: That’s what his blog says. And that’s what he has practiced in his blog I believe. Author Divyan D’wergiz has kept his blog more as an anthology of his past experiences and his personal life. A marriage counselor by profession, Divyan is carrying on as a blogger since 2006. His blog seems like a crystal clear compilation of happenings of his life along with some relationship based posts. Less of fiction makes it more a piece of authentic information, where we come across something very real and true which gives reader an immense pleasure of not being taken into a world of dreams and mere imagination. As a reader it won’t bore you with intense philosophy which leaves you depressed by the time u finish with the reading. On the whole a very appealing blog which sets itself apart from the swarm.

5. Chandni

Looking at the blog made me felt as if ,in front of me is a beautiful Indian woman, standing wrapped in a kanjiwaram silk sari, with dark red centre filled black hair, face with a glow and eyes with a spark in it, sophistically jeweled up ,and smiling at me. I know this sounds strange. It’s not because it looks gaudy and has such color combinations and look, but the value filled blog with an Indian touch in it made me felt like this. The presentation of blog is magically satisfying. The best part of the blog is its consistency and an exhaustive collection of posts, which I hardly found anywhere else. Applause for Chandni Malik for this winning effort .The articles are not only high in quantity but also in quality. The Hindi tidbits in between is another nice style. All in all a nice ride to different topics served well garnished.

6. AnuragArch

Anurag Bhattacharya is, a 20 year old student architect doing B.Arch from NIT-Trichy and pursue a career in architectural design and 2d-animatics.Coming to his blog “Anuragarch “, let me tell you, that as soon as the blog page opens up you get to see a pleasant banner together with beautiful color combination and design, which leaves you with a real soothing effect. ” I find much in life to be funny, strange or downright ridiculous…these are the things I intend to write about.” That’s what says one of the lines in the introduction part of his blog, proof for which is the blog itself.. What makes this blog really exceptional and inimitable is the great, unique work and art Anurag has given in form of his outstanding cartoon illustrations and lovely signature at the end of each post. You will really love to see them and appreciate each time. The poems and the posts, specially the topics chosen to write are no doubt a portion of brilliance.

7. OutLooked

Representing to you a world full of, I am sorry, rather a blog full of young emotions, trying to cope up with the existing world and hoping for their dreams to come true one day. Outlooked is a joint effort of the emerging bloggers - Himanshu, Parth and Ashish to present an outlook of life in their own way .All of them highly obsessed with IIT/BITS have tried to portray the inside picture of a youth’s mind when he aspires to get into one of the top educational institutes and when they actually reach there, what do they feel. Along with all this is shown the innocent yet so mischievous thinking of a young lad, where the whole world expects sincerity and dedication towards his studies from him but their lies an another world for them too, world full of fun ,and the ability to laugh on themselves. The blog is a collection of their ideas, comments, views, outlooks on the life and the elements they face, in a hilarious mold which gives readers a pleasure to forget the worries of life, rather laugh on them at least for those few minutes which they spent on the blog.

8. BooBoo’sBook


A Malaya from the cultural capital of Kerala, started his blog in April 2008,

Author of Booboo’sbook who loves to be called “booboo” like reading, writing stories, and fantasies and the craze to write his wild imaginations…made him start this blog BooBoo’s Book. What made me consider this blog a unique one were the simple and plain words used, yet it urges your eyes to read more and ultimately you feel tranquil .The layout of blog is another gesture of simplicity along with sweetness and innocence. He has made a successful attempt in bringing out very common yet very important issues of society and has given a positive message to his readers. You can take blood donation and no smoking as an instance for this. The blog wins readers heart and captures it and is convincing enough for anyone to visit it quite often.

9. GeekOnNet

10. Materealistica

It could be a very resourceful and helpful blog, somewhat like a tutorial for the upcoming animators as the author himself is a professional in this field. Let me introduce to you Gulshan Gattani, the author of Materealistica. He started the blog with the intention to hare and spread his knowledge on texturing portion of 3D Animation .Its a very new venture started last month itself, that’s why I can’t predict the future of this blog, but as per my knowledge the concept is distinctive as very less people thought of sharing what Gulshan is doing, and this is the reason for why I considered it to be one of the 10 most alluring blogs I came across. Moreover animation is a flourishing field and few of the world’s finest animators are Indians. Displayed in a very detailed pattern it explains you even the minute know how of animation. The language of the blog is simple and easy to understand as per the requirement of the nature of the blog. All in all the author has succeeded doing complete justice to the objective of the blog. Keep up the good work Gulshan.

  • Surajit Dasgupta said:

    Thank you, ‘Zazo’, for those uplifting words. I feel better on thinking that it has hardly been a year of blogging by me. I would have preferred writing everything that is true as fearlessly in mainstream newspapers too, but my former employers did not allow me to do so. I wish some day somebody with a lot of money helps me in launching a newspaper of my own, knowing fully well that some day I can write against him (my sponsor) too, should he tread the wrong path.

  • Aziz said:

    zazo ,u have really put an spectacular efforts to motivates people to identify their true potential and achieve success both in their personal and professional spheres of life by putting the real time examples. He tried to cater to different levels of professional hierarchy.

    Really a nice efforts and all the best for future endeavor.
