It is a joyous moment for all of us who worked with BlogSwara platform to know that it is getting attention from an opposite corner of the world.

BlogSwara has become the center case study for an MA thesis submission.

Jessica Keyes, a student of Department of Music, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada has chosen the music blogging with a primary focus on BlogSwara for her academic defense. Her paper titled "Blogging Music: Indian Musicians and Online Musical Spaces" presents an ethnography of the Indian music blogging community and a critical analysis of the historical and technological foundation for music blogging.

Great Work Jo and gang :wave:

I was standing outside the house this evening, when my nephew Arvind (the dude with the glasses) and his two pals came cycling back from scholl. They stopped to say a brief Hi...

They appeared quite surprised when I asked them if they were returning from some Hike organised by the school. I was aghast when they told me that they carried the same kinda luggage to school everyday and that they dont have a desk/locker where they can leave their books behind. Can you see the size of the backpack/school bag each guy is carrying ?

I went to a school where we were given individual desks with a flip-open cabinet where we could leave behind text books that we didn't need for home-work or revision that evening. Of course we ended up carrying something like 5-6 books, but that's what we needed for that evening. Heck, why carry the whole years' books everyday to and fro school is something that beats me...

Assuming the option of providing individual storage to students may not be possible by all schools for comercial reaons, they could still put up common pigeon-hole design racks with locks.

Hmmmm....
