Photos of the padayathra - It seems in your blog 2 persons photo are being unfairly projected. just want to know who they are - appreciate if you would provide the names of persons in the photo as well. I hope that there were lot of people participated in the Padayathra!
I think Padayathra is a good idea - but driving to Chengannur creates lot of environmental damage (carbon pollution ect..). So it would be better to conduct the Padayathras in your own local area. That will provide you plenty of physical exercise with out any environmental damage and may be able to make enough publicity out of that. You can do this in memory of parumala thirumeny also.
It is a better idea to start the Padayathra from the local area but I think it wouldn't be practical to all participants. It would be nice if you provide names of persons in the photos. However it is a very useful blog and we always refer this blog to know the local news and articles.
Thanks for your efforts.
I agree with the comment-1 - these blogs are just for them to promote them self and for their cheap popularity. Internet became available for them to fulfil their just goal.
I think they often copy some news or articles from the media or elsewhere and paste into their blogs along with the photos etc that they want to publish. These blogs are not worth browsing!!!
Hope these 'fame hungries' will understand it one day, until then we will bump into one of these sites!! So stop reading these pages and stop commenting - it is not just worth it!
I find several news in this blog which I were not noticed in other news papers. I appreciate the Editor’s effort and keep blogging news because sometimes I use this blog to refer the previous articles or news.
I read this blog regularly. It is very useful. News are common. I know several local news from your blog . Opinions and visions are different I congratulate editors effort. Please publish some GK questions and answers for job seekers. I think hundreds of readers refer this website.
