April 3, 2013 7 Comments
Last Saturday I attended the ‘Mumbai for Women‘ IndiBlogger meet, a TOI initiative to highlight Mumbai’s duty towards its female residents.This TOI initiative was in response to the Nirbhaya gang rape case. The organizers assured us that every post we participants turned in before the deadline would be read by the TOI editors.So this is my attempt to bring about IndiChange by pitching to the people who shape debates and influence opinions.This is in lieu of all the letters to the editor I never wrote………
