Testimonials

Title of the document I like KAII newsletter because it is short and precise; it gives me a chance to go through all the articles. Only few topics in easy-to-understand language are covered every month. I would personally suggest that newsletter should only have 6-7 good articles related to culture and heritage by selected authors. I would also suggest you put the website address of all the articles you get – so that who ever is interested can read from the website – Vipin Raina

Loved the concept of reviving the games as we played them in the traditional manner – it was fun back then. Kids these days don’t know what is the meaning of going out and playing – for them it is getting sweaty and dirty; for us that was fun – Sushma Trakroo

I agree on the article by Speaking Koshur that talks of reviving our cultural heritage. But I often wonder how? With the routine we have really become robots – routine is fixed – for us and for kids – we do not know how to inculcate the concept of heritage & culture – RL Bhat

I read the article on Poets by Neerja ji – I liked it because of its unbiased views. I can guarantee that the sufi people or the creative people in those time did not fight about religion and race – rather they would have talked to each other to find more optimal ways of attaining salvation. The world we live in today is very different – Sameer Saproo

Pt Amarnath Vaishnaviji will and always be my hero – Akanksha Raina

The paintings by Artist Ravi Dhar ji are the best – most realistic ones I have seen among the artists today. I follow him on his Facebook page – AbhiManyu

I overall like the concept of adding separate section for Kosam – I have been a student – but I would like to see more articles - Kunal
