I was seeing my traffic stats today and I saw surge of visitors coming here through TimesOnline UK a widely read premier news portal in UK.

These visits to my blog were from one of the articles published today by TimesOnline UK, where they featured Trak.in as one of their top picks for “India Business” blogs.

Recognition is one of the most important morale boosters and I am no different! So I guess it is the day to blow my trumpet :).
Interestingly, the first 4 blogs listed are my favorites too..

Here is the complete article as published by TimesOnline UK.

Capitalist India Not for socialists, this one.

Its author, a 28 year old print journalist from New Delhi, argues that the Indian media is “full of vested interests”, but despite his own declared interests, for example his irritation with “the way the Indian media takes the moral high ground”, his posts do offer a close look at events in the Indian media world.
