Recommendation 1 from ‘The Times of India’

Article Name:‘Why I love Mumbai’

By: ‘Pritish Nandy’

Writer has listed umpteen problems that Mumbai has and people face everyday like footpaths have vanished and the free speech too. People cannot even go to a bar and see them dance, nor you can eat out after 11. People of Mumbai cannot even keep more than three whisky bottles and nor get an iPad in India even if it belongs to you. Even with all these problems/qualities, writer welcomes the reader to Mumbai, as he loves it.

Summary:

Ah! Don’t we all love Mumbai? It has glitz and glamour with all the pools of problems. Somehow, as the news shows, somehow problems are even more for non-Mumbai residents due to the presence of Sena army. Well, that is what makes Mumbai perfect. I mean there must be something that draws millions of people to Mumbai every day.

Recommendation 2 from ‘The Hindu’

Article Name:‘People’s movement’

By: ‘Kamala Gopalakrishnan’

The article is talking about a social initiative called Goonj, which was started by Anshu Gupta, merely at the age of 27 years. This organisation was started to help disadvantaged people in rural areas having no access to clothing and sanitary napkins. Article states that as Goonj developed, it formed a task force of women to make sanitary napkins out of cotton clothes, which were made out to be safe and eco-friendly. Article then goes on to highlight Ankush Gupta’s struggle while he tied to establish his social initiative.

Summary:

It comes as surprise that commodities like clothes can also be something that people have no access to. Our wardrobes stuffed with clothes, it puts me to shame. Article wanted to highlight that change can be initiated at any moment and perhaps, you will take out the clothes that you know you are never going to wear.

The entire story is scary indeed and surely many of us didn’t even know about it.
