Have you read Kabuliwallah, a short story by Rabindranath Tagore? It is a sweet story of how a migrant to India from Kabul misses his hometown. He is always keen on knowing what happened at his hometown but is unable to get the information.
Today, we all have a bit of Kabuliwallah in us. Unlike Kabuliwallah, we miss our neighbourhood, though we stay there. It is ironical but true. Work pressure, long hours at office and busy schedule means we hardly interact with our neighbours and we are never updated with news that unfolds at our own neighbourhood. What is more intersting, the rambilngs of our politicians in Parliament or the local issues that we face everyday. Unknown heros or people who we can touch and feel in our own neighbourhood. Isn’t the local cricket match where your son scored a century more dear to you than reading about exploits of Indian cricket team.

This is where Chowknews come in. It is a democratic place where you can add any content you want, which you feel is relevant to your immediate neighbourhood. The moment you add a content, you are contributing to your neighbourhood and you will soon form a community of people from your neighbourhood.
Happy content addition

Whats ChowkNews All About ?

ChowkNews is about getting together a bunch of talented people who care about thier neighbourhood and would like to make a difference to the way we move to the future.

People who can keep thier eyes ears and hearts open to the happenings in their surroundings are our best bet. since we want the ordinary everyday news to come in from them because we live our lives everyday and not just on some events…

We wish to capture the essence of everyday living for the generations to come so that they may not have to dig up archeological sites and guess how we lived and led our lives.

Small news like the introduction of a new neighbour, coverage of a ganesh utsav, a wedding or even a new car is welcome. this will tell us that we care for our neighbours even though we may not have the time to meet on a cup of coffee ….
local institutions and businesses always have something to say and this too could be covered for example our own neighbourhood in vidyavihar has a fantastic institution Somaiya college here the admissions for the eleventh standard are in progress an editor could take time to find out the happenings there and relate it on the site. in fact the editor could also find out a lot of facts that would be usefull to the students seeking admission there.

I think you will have a general idea of the type of content to expect here. if you find the idea interesting and are charged up to cover your neighbourhood then do write in to neweditor@chowknews.com you just need a PC at home with an internet connection and a flair for writing. who knows you could be the next arun shourie…
