Glad to see that Podbharti has attracted your attention too.

I stumbled on to Podbharti quite by accident and was instantly hooked. These are two very committed and talented youngsters and I wish them all the best. I have listened with pleasure and attention to all their podcasts so far.

I have also been in touch with them by email over the past week or so and they have rekindled in me my love for Hindi which had taken a back seat over the years due to pre-occupation with my career, and my obsession with with the largely English dominated world of computers, Internet and blogosphere .

I am thrilled to see the initiative Debashish and Shashi and several others are taking to promote blogging and podcasting among the non-English speaking netizens. There is a huge untapped storehouse of talent among our regional language speaking citizens and so far the expensive print medium has been the only avenue open to them. Getting a toe-hold to this medium is not easy. The internet was off-bounds for several years to our talented regional language users while average English speakers and writers have freely enjoyed this medium.

Now that e mailing and blogging in our regional languages is possible, any attempts by anyone to popularise emailing and blogging and podcasting in our regional languages must be supported and lauded.

Debashish and Shashi have just motivated me to re-learn Baraha and write in Hindi. I thought I am an old dog and can’t be taught any new tricks at my age. I had wondered how comments could be posted in Hindi and how emailing could be done in Hindi. I have now learned to do so thanks to some tips from them in response to a private mail addressed to them.

I am pleasantly surprised at my recent success in writing to them in my imperfect Hindi and receiving a very warm and encouraging response from them.

I look forward to their podcasts and am definitely going comment on their Hindi podcasts using Hindi (which incidentally is not my native language).

All strength to their elbows.
