Letter from the Editor

Our team is at (es-prit de corps) after overwhelming response from our readers. We received your appreciations, opinions and suggestions, and as a responsible journal we will try our best to maintain the rich ingredients of the magazine.

It's not surprising that social-networking Web sites such as Orkut.com, Facebook.com and MySpace.com are all the craze among today's youth — but those same hard-partying young people might be only aware of the good part of such sites. In this issue we have researched and surveyed on such sites and tried our best to explore and bring out the bad and the ugly side.

There are lots of homeless, marginalised people living in our society like living in “hell”!As they have been in this town from last four decades but still they are not considered as a part of it. A ‘Mushar’ community has been forcibly displaced from a place where they have been living for hundred years, by a local goon with the help of local police.
From this issue we will present a series of essays on these homeless people.

“Information is Power”, so acquaint and empower yourself. It is our right to know everything about government activities. Since 1947, this is first time citizens of India have got a Right that can be used as a weapon in taking out information from the government. Therefore, it is essential for us to know how to use such weapon.

As certain weaknesses already being surfaced in the last issue, we have tried our best to improve ourselves and minimise the shortcomings.

Happy Reading Folks!!!
