Classroom Report / May 5

By Mayuri Srinivas

We got back to class after a weekend holiday. Resource person Vincent D' Souza asked us to share anything interesting we had experienced the past two days.

Shreya narrated her experience in attending a summer job interview.
Varsha talked about her experience at the IPL cricket match at Chepauk.
Manasa told us about her outing to Citi Centre. And Krithika mentioned about her three-day tour of Kerala and of spending the night on a houseboats in the backwaters of Alleppey.
In a way, these exchanges led us to the topic of the day - writing for the pullouts and magazine sections in newspapers and working for magazines.
It also led on to a discussion on how we could start publishing on our own via the Internet.
Since there are three participants who reside in the Thiruvanmiyur area in south Chennai, D' Souza suggested they could start a blog for that area.
The three, Bharathi, Priyanka and Manasa seemed enthusiastic.
They will be working out the strategy out soon.
D' Souza said that a Net enterprise would turn out to be a good follow-up to this course.
On Tuesday, we will visit the NDTV's Chennai office in CIT Colony and learn about TV journalism.
