FB GROUP SHOWS THE WAY - The Hindu
For what we have been doing as a pastime, with intention, in MTM is covered in The Hindu today on page 2. The local reporter came home a couple of days ago and interviewed me on the genesis, early days, activities and other features of the online FB group - Bandar Bandhuvulu - and took a few pictures.
I didn't pay much attention, and neither did I expect it to show up in the newspaper. The reason being, some local Telugu language dailies too took some information from us before but that didn't result in any coverage. Nor did we actively seek any such coverage - preferring not to publicize, in general, in the media. But Sri T. Appalanaidu, the local staff reporter of The Hindu - sprang a surprise getting this published in his news paper - that too in the Sunday main edition (30 June 2013 page #2). Although my photo and name (widely unknown part of my name) was used in the report - I just hope it will bring more attention to our group on FB and many more from Bandar will join hands with us to do something concrete on the ground.
Definitely something to blog about...isn't it?! :)
Swasti!!
