Whats Good About India

I always thought about doing some thing like documentary or some thing to recognize the day to day hero's of India. Well, I have never done that until now, but there is Mr. D V Sridharandoing this now in the website GOOD NEWS INDIA

He is a one-man army, who edits, designs the site, meets the heroes of India, writes about them, takes pictures with his digital camera, and personally replies to all his fan mail.

"Media is full of negative stories, and if anything good gets done, it is tucked away somewhere. I felt I had to do something and Good News India is the outcome," he says with undiminshed pride.

So, how did Sridharan get the idea of a Web site? "It was on my first journey to understand India that I stumbled upon this idea." Till his real journey to understand India, Sridharan was a globe-trotting marine engineer savouring the best of various countries.

"I came back to India, after a stint as a marine engineer and was surprised at the prevalent cynicism, and the mute acceptance of how India was a very corrupt country and how India could never progress," he said.

This struck Sridharan as odd.

"India had an ancient civilisation and things could not be so bad all of a sudden, or is it that we don't see the other India where the good exists," he asks.
