Today I woke up at 8am - the beginning of morning peak hour in Mumbai, and for some reason I couldn’t help dozing off to the alarm and enjoying the blissful state of a mini-vacation in this chaotic city. My room faces the main road which is off the Western Express highway, and usually even with the windows shut, I can hear the beeping and thumping of cars and bikes and the plethora of autorickshaws chugging along the roads.
As I gained consciousness, it hit that today there is a strike! And all the autorickshaws are parked away and abandoned..millions at a time!
Hi there, I’d like to introduce myself, as I’m a new member of this newly formed social media network – Channel 19. What attracted me first and foremost about this online platform is that everything that is showcased and issues we focus on are about communities in rural and urban India who make their own media.
Hi all, please check out this Current TV video about the work Video Volunteers is doing with communities and what some of the issues that arise when community producers are producing media. Do comment and feel free to share this!
