One of the blogs I’m hitting up consistently these days is Amit Agarwal’s Digital Inspiration over at Blogspot.com. I’ve got nothing but respect for a guy who is pounding his keyboard day in and day out with just tremendously practical and useful stuff.

Anyway, while making my usual RSS Rounds this morning, I couldn’t help but notice Amit’s latest post, where it turns out he was recently featured on CNN IBN. Big props, and general congratulatory salutations over to him! How often do you see your favourite blogger on (international) television?

As an aside, I think its always interesting to see the actual people we read about — in the flesh and out of a studio photographer’s booth. Sort of like all of those photos at the Techcrunch-apalooza that was recently held.

Anyway, the 3 minute piece has a focus on professional blogging in general, with a target audience for India. It does use a few terms that I’m not familiar with (not being from India, and living in Toronto as a Chinese Canadian), like “Lak” (I think) — which seems to be a unit of monetary compensation. Seems like a few “Laks” equals quite a few “bucks”. :)

Its focus seems to be on the problogger lifestyle – which is really that of the modern internet entrepreneur. You can do most/ all of your work remotely from anywhere, and if you’re successful, it means a tremendous amount of flexibility coupled with a nice paycheque, albeit long working hours.

I’ve already blogged a litle bit about the International Blogosphere, Chinese-digg-type sites and the like mostly.

But Amit’s latest kudos got me thinking about the Indian Blogosphere in general.

Like, how snobbish are we North American bloggers to our global counterparts? Its one thing if the blogs are in another language, but English being one of the official languages of the region, and I’ve noticed that most Indian blogs are, in fact in English — so no excuses there.

If TechCrunch featured A-list North American Bloggers, who make up the International Tech/Web2.0 A-List?

Here’s a partial list of Indian bloggers who have substantial Alexa/ PageRank profiles.

If you have anymore, please list’em!

• http://ajaydsouza.com/ — Ajay D’Souza’s personal musings and blogging about blogging.

Its a small list — but this is a topic I’ll be blogging about in the future, so definitely more to come!
