The chain had been sleeping ever since.
A few months back I got a message from a cheerful and an active blogger, Sayantani that she would be interested to activate the dormant chain. It took some time to get us into the track as I had been away to my home town and later when Sayantani got held up due to her personal reasons.
Finally, I sent along the secret ingredient to Sayantani, restarting the chain.
Read about her announcement post here.
Now we have to find interested bloggers in India to whom she can pass along.
So, friends, if you happen to reside in India and want to be a part of this friendship chain, please do not hesitate to leave a message in her post or down in my comment box. We will be happy to include you in the chain.
Cheers,
Bharathy :)
I am sure you will find lot of friends in India to take part.
