Well, it's back.

23 Yards was the first blog that Cricinfo had begun, as well as my first blog. In its first avatar it ran between July and December, 2004, coming to a halt when I took a sabbatical from Cricinfo.

So what has changed? Well, since it spluttered to a halt, I've been blogging regularly on India Uncut and The Indian Economy Blog, and my conception of blogging has changed a bit. 23 Yards 2004 was less a blog and more a collection of dated near-weekly essays. It had links and updates, but didn't use many of the other fine advantages the format of blogging brings you. As I'd written here, blogging enables one to do many things that one can't do in other forms of journalism. I hope to do some more of those things here.

So expect pithy and more frequent posts here in the weeks to come. Comments will be enabled, and moderated, for select posts. Thanks for dropping by.
