At 23, looking back at how a newspaper influenced my life !

Yesterday something interesting happened when I was on my way to office. I was wearing casuals assuming it was the last day of the week, my friend out of the blue gave me a shock questioning me if it was Friday or Thursday. I responded saying, the day before I had read NxG and that morning I was rushing through Hindu-Weekend. I live my life with a newspaper as a calender!

It's funny how Education Plus marks the beginning of the week -Monday; Young World supplement reminds me it's Tuesday; Opportunity hints it's Wednesday; NxG gives me respite that there is one more day for the week to end and MetroPlus Weekend gives me a sigh of relief that it's after all the weekend.

It's not just beginning my day, even my career is totally associated with the Hindu. I had an eye for a course which appeared in the Hindu Young World when I was in my 7th class if I am right. Later, I went on to choose a college whose stall was visited by my parents at the Hindu Education Fair. I began my career at an IIT start-up after coming across their advertisement in the Hindu Classifieds. I know this article is pretty boring but I guess you have to bear with my "affair with the Hindu" newspaper! 

Help A Child to Study !

Activity: Help A Child to Study sponsors the higher education of meritorious underprivileged students, supporting them to achieve dreams of a better future. We sponsor all formal courses above 10th, including 11th and 12th, diploma courses, degree courses, B.E., M.B.B.S. and Postgrad. Through education our students are able to escape the cycle of poverty through their own talents.
Details: We are very proud of our students - who are the children of labourers, small scale farmers, weavers and other families with low incomes. These students have enormous potential to succeed and only need financial support to do so. We are thrilled that today some of our graduates are placed with large companies such as Mahindra Tech, L&T, and TATA Consultancy Services.
Support: Education, higher education, sponsorship of students.
Note: We are looking for financial donations to support the higher education of our students, most of whom live in rural areas of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
