Our Blog Zoo Station, which won the IndiBloggies Award for Best Group Blog for 2005

In "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe", four children are transported by magic to the land of Narnia. While I don't have a Magic Wardrobe at hand, what I do have is the Wayback Machine that sends us back to any time we want on the Internet. Here is a post from back in 2004 when I began blogging at Zoo Station.

Folks, I have been threatening this for some time now -- to convert Zoo Station into a team blog in order to prevent lags in blogging when I am busy, to increase the diversity of content and so on. I had been talking to several people about the possibility of contributing to ZS on a regular basis and that process has resulted in this team blog. Joining me on Zoo Station today are...

Amit Chakrabarti -- Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth

Ashwin Mahalingam -- Ph.D. candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford

Anand Manikutty -- Senior member of technical staff at Oracle

Vinay Nair -- Assistant Professor of Finance at the Wharton School at UPenn

Abraham Thomas -- Director of G7 trading at Simplex USA, a hedge fund in Princeton

Jaideep V.G. -- Editor-in-chief for Rave, the premier Indian entertainment magazine

Though the tone of ZS will probably remain the same, there will be a slight shift of focus as we look to concentrate more on India. This does not mean less international news and perspectives nor does it mean less entertainment, reviews etc. It simply means there will be more of India.

When I started this blog, I never expected it would last this long leave alone expecting it to transmogrify into a team blog. I hope the new bloggers on ZS will enjoy blogging on here as much as I have. You, dear reader, will almost certainly have better content at your disposal from today. Enjoy.
