Our dear blogger Jonty got struck today in the Metro train in West Delhi. While it was - “an experience of lifetime” for him, but our Editor, Pramit didn’t miss the opportunity to do the Live Blogging on his expense. This post at Indiadaily is based on the SMSs sent by Jonty to Pramit explaining the reasons why he would be late. But he converted his excuse into an opportunity to live blogging. Jokes apart, around 4 trainload of passengers were offloaded on either line on morning rush hour.

We have also done live blogging during the Delhi Bomb blasts in November 2005. If blogging has to evolve from the format of mere personal diaries, it will have to do more and more such news like stuff. First person experience reporting, maybe that’s where blogging will have an edge over other traditional reporting formats.
