India News in HOUSTON Chronicle Newspaper

People say, "World is shrinking or getting smaller" in this Internet age. I agree with them.

Last weekend, I just happen to get a free Houston Chronicle newspaper and was brushing through the pages. I happen to see more news about India in different sections. Its definitely a good change that India is getting more visibility in a land few decades ago doesn't even know where is India in the World map including the current President.

Here are the few snippet of the news which interested me.

1. Story about poor villagers at Malinagar, Bihar suffering homeless after heavy down pour.






2. An article about young graduates in US picking Volunteering over career as their future.


One special example, Elizabeth from Emory university. After graduating, she chose to start an Orphanage near Pune to give shelter to 15 kids in a 2 story apartment complex. Its been 3 years since she started the orphanage housing 10 kids now. What a brave move?!

These stories definitely tell us one thing for sure. World's(Americans) attention is slowly moving towards countries like India and others looking for more interesting stories importantly reporters are venturing out.
