I would like to take the opportunity to put up an invite for guest articles on my movie blog A Potpourri of VestigesAnyone interested in sharing his/her thoughts on cinema/movies/television is most welcome.

In the past a number of  learned personalities have obliged A Potpourri of Vestiges with their well-researched, profound, and thought-provoking articles. 

I would like to start by thanking my good friend and filmmaker Roopa Barua for covering Cannes 2015 for A Potpourri of Vestiges. Here, I would like to make a special mention of Martin BradleyJugu AbrahamOorvazi IraniSiddhartha GandhiDestination InfinitythewhitescapeSanjeev KumarSoumabhaRicha SinghAlex SmithJade WaddyPratikshya MishraDan O'NeillJairam Mohan, Jyoti Prakash Mallick, Tejas Nair, Amrit Rukhaiyaar, Tanmay Shukla, and Sunita Lancaster.

I would also like to take this opportunity to share some relevant information about my movie blogsite so as to give a rough estimation of how it are placed in its niche. A Ptpourri of Vestiges is a well-recognized movie blog, based in India, operating since October 2011. It also features among the top blogs on the various blogging networks. The is enlisted on various major blogging directories/communities including the prestigious The LAMB (Large Association of Movie Blogs) Community. The site's prime focus is  to highlight contemporary as well as classic cinema—indie, art house, classic, commercial, or cult—by analyzing movies through means of reviews, essays, critiques, etc. and by its coverage of major international award functions and film festivals. The site has a strong and ever growing readership basea healthy mix of masses and aficionados, uniformly distributed all across the globe.

A Potpourri of Vestiges has a strong social media presence, with a considerably large number of followers and subscribers on facebook, google plus, twitter, and other platforms. On an average, the site receives more than 50,000 pageviews/month. While readers from the US alone comprise one-third of the total traffic, the readers from Europe (UK, Germany, France, etc.) and Asia (India, China, etc.) contribute a major chunk of the remaining traffic. 

So, if you want your voice to be heard then surely you wouldn't be disappointed. If, however, you already are an established blogger then you can surely leverage upon the association as a means to further diversify your readership base.  You blog will certainly benefit from the backlink since A Potpourri of Vestiges enjoys a very strong Alexa Rank (less than 20,000 in India and under 1,75,000 in the world).
