We are a bunch that has nothing in common, not even a Mysore connection. Our interests are varied.We belong in different age-groups. We are opinionated,touchy, and take our writings seriously, at times. We drive our own blogs and feel entitled to comment, even on matters about which we might know next to nothing. Our pace of posting is irregular. MBP (Mysore blog park) is our parking lot; a one-stop site showcasing bloggers.
