People Are Already Feeling the Desicritics.org Buzz!
Dancing With Dogs writes that Desicritics.org "…is a fun little place to celebrate and comment on all things South Asian!"
Comfortably Numb: "On January 26th, the Indian blogosphere made its most concerted effort yet at bringing together the opinions that matter. Desipundit was a great effort, but it just cannot keep up with the pace. It needed a more regulated effort. I think Desicritics fills that void."
chapatti mystery: "It should be duly noted that Desicritics has launched with the power of a thousand suns."
Vulturo: "Desicritics will be powered by team of superior bloggers from around the world, mainly those residing in India or belong to the international Indian Diaspora."
Desicritics.org is a new addition to the Blogcritics.org (http://blogcritics.org) network of websites and is published by longtime Blogcritics.org editor Aaman Lamba.
