Do You have a Comment Policy for Your Blog?
Do you have a comment policy for your blog? I never had a formal one and I hardly ever need to delete any comment. The few that I deleted were either obscene or blatant advertising. But these days there is a spurt in comments that are vaguely on topic and then have links (sometimes more…
More Tiger Tale but this time from Mexico
I am linking to Kelly’s post (from Gonomad) who was on a press trip to Mexico and guess what she got to pet a tiger! You have to go and see the tiger picture to believe it. PS. I am taking a short break. Would be back by Monday.

Pleasantly Surprised with Passport Office New Delhi
