Indian Bloggers living abroad
I would like to make a suggestion to Indiblogger team . In the Indirank Page is it possible to add another category as 'Top International Bloggers'.
Most of us live in different parts of the world and our blogs are peppered with flavours of the country we are currently living in. Plus it would help us to be identified under a different category alltogether so that each of us could find people in our own countries and connect with them individually.
What do you guys think of this?
I am in too, though I am still in India but will be moving to UK pretty soon :)
Will love to have Intenational Community of IndiBloggers (ICI) :P heh heh
Ahhh, LP, our voices finally filtered through..:) I think you should be the first honorary member if this new category comes up...:)
Don't know how I didn't see this topic - my apologies. 
I guess the forum needs some way to tag an admin.
Our sign up form, unfortunately has no "Country" field... this was in the interest of making the process quicker... we only have "city"... perhaps we could group them using that alone, but there will be a few who end up left out of the group...
Will put up this page though - give me a couple of days. Sorry again for not seeing this earlier folks!
Renie...thanks for responding....
I started this thread since I was in Lancaster and now I am moving back to India :P
Hope this helps other NRI's
Better late than never...
I just saw this thread now. ...I'm in favor.
Except I'm not sure about the competition part, perhaps when the no. of nri/poi bloggers is sufficiently large? how many do we have now? ...will find out as soon as admins do an geo tally?
Ok one more vote coming up. I already know some of you and I 'll add on the others onto my network. A new category sounds interesting. Ithink I can rope in a few friends of mine from Singapore to vote as well. Also, I have organised for the first Indiblogger meet in Singapore next Friday. Fortunately Singapore isjust a teensy lil dot on the map, so the Indising crowd have no issues meeting up. Fingers crossed. Hope the meet is successful.
Ah! I dream of the day when we can have a global Indimeet and I get to meet a lot of people to whose blogs and profile pics I have developed an affection to..LOL...
Sounds wonderful, am in too! Though am not sure if there would be anyone else from Finland except me?
doesn't matter..you are living abroad and this is a thread for international bloggers :)
Just saw this topic now. You can count me in as well;)
This is great..thanks :)
Thanks Krish :)
I support this cause as well. Though I am not sure if there should be a competitive edge to this. It could be a recognition and encouragement.
Yes I feel so too...but looks like Indiblogger team has not noticed this topic...keep posting your ideas...and hopefully they will see this topic.
I vote for this suggestion.
Thank you Guru 
Count my vote in too.
But its pointless to seperate catagory when there are only 5 people responding.
I been a member of indiblogger for more than a year but never cared to check in with whats happening here. I feel I might have missed out a lot. No More.
P.S The indiblogger junta seems to respond only to tweets.
hmmm ok Tweeting is not my cup of tea :) maybe you could tweet about this link.
Thanks for commenting and keeping this topic alive
A big big thumbs up to all your suggestions. I think there was also other threads on international bloggers started by others.
I am connected to a few of you and have read your blogs (probably not commented). I would love to closely follow the blogs of other international bloggers. And it goes without saying that you can visit mine as well!
Cheers!
Vasu
Thank you Vasu...it is good to see that more international bloggers are getting interested in this thread :) will check out your blog...
Isn't it strange..Normally in most forum topics, Renie does make an appearance...Wonder how come this topic has escaped his crawler..:)
Hmmm..I will wait some days and will send him a mail to direct him here :)
I may occasionally join in with the useless banter.
Deepthy, why don't you introduce yourself on my other thread.
http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=4180
I may soon change the message heading to International Bloggers - Where Are You!!
Ohh Deepthy thanks for your comment on my Blog :) hope to see you more often there :)
Guys did you see this??
http://www.indiblogger.in/forum/topic.php?id=1320
Ahh we can keep the topic alive with useless banter 
lets not shelve it yet.....
I have checked out that thread...its about meets and though I am keen on a meet here in UK...It might not be possible for us all to travel to London. A separate category will help us identify each other easily for future meets too :)
Deepthy..I think I understand a bit of it :)
No reply from the 'blobs of Indibloggers' ;) im sure after tracking this post there wouldnt be any more...So I guess our call for an autonomous NRI musings/Sliced Out India need to be shelved for now...maybe this chain someday will become the beacon for a future band of autonomy seekers to pitch forth their demand for a separate category.... Sorry, if left to my devices I'm capable of producing a great deal of nonsense in 30 seconds..that's the side-effect of years in broadcast journalism...
cheers, loved your blog...shall read more of it whenever i log on...

Hey deepthy, good to know you are in UK too...I am in Lancaster in the Northwest. Are you taking a journalism course?
Nopes...Already have a masters in broadcast journalism...am doing this MA in Geopolitics and Grand Strategy, which is a glorified version of simplified International Relations...
Hope I have sufficiently confused you like I seem to do most people who ask me this question.. :)
I agree with your sentiment. Consequently I have started a new thread - International Bloggers - Who Are You? It would be great if you and Deepthy could introduce yourselves
Great!! this is good...now we have started the ball rolling.....
Hi Just saw this thread of mails now...Well, I am new to Indiblogger...just thought of giving it a shot about two months ago...liked the idea of a blogger community...
am a journalist, who got bored and to be honest disillusioned with television...So took off to UK...and now am at the Uni of sussex in Brighton...and this blog has now become like my little scratchpad..to scratch my faff writing itch when academic tripe drives me to boredom out of sheer 'propah'ness of it all...:)
