“Newspaper publishers in developing markets are living on borrowed time.”
“Well, With exponential growth of Technologies, there is an increasing number of people who could afford at least a smartphone and also have an affordable access to internet. With the help of APPS and RSS feed, one could get instant flash news from the web. Who would want to have Yesterday’s news when they could get Instant News within a button’s click ?”
“But most of the leading newspaper have their own websites, mobile apps and have millions of followers on Facebook. The Local Newspapers could reach a wide diaspora. You still think Internet has declined Newspapers growth. I don’t think so.”
“Are you suggesting that Newspaper would still survive?”
“Not exactly. But all I am suggesting is that it wouldn’t disappear overnight.”

The State Government of Tamilnadu had sold Thamirabarani River, the only perennial river that originates within Tamilnadu to PepsiCo at a lower cost.
The river Thamirabarani originates from the famous Agasthyakoodam peak in Western Ghats. It flows through Tirunelveli and Tuticorin Districts of Tamilnadu and drains into Gulf of Mannar near Punnakkayal in Tuticorin District. While many scholars interpret the meaning as Thamirabarani as Thamiram (copper in Tamil language) and Varuni (stream or river), the river was mentioned in ancient Tamil texts as “Porunai”. Known as the only source of irrigation across the two dried districts throughout all seasons and also for it’s scenic beauty, this river is now sold by Government at INR 37.4 per 1000 liter.

While manufacturing has begun in Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) and Bicholim (Goa), Nestle India is still awaiting directions to commence manufacturing in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. One fear still sustains in my mind. Is Maggi actually safe ?
Amid severe ban scare, Maggi reintroduction was a success. Maggi has been re-launched in 100 towns through 300-odd distributors and will be rolled out in many more areas in the coming days.
