Gujarati Social Networking Website : Syahee.com

Sanket Joshi, Son of Veteran Gujarati poet Anil Joshi has created a Gujarati Social Networking Website, Syahee.com ( Powered with opensource platform 'NING' ). It is delighting to see someone setting up a website where Gujarati speaking netizens including hobbyist  amateur and professional writers and poets come together. I just created account on it as one friend insisted me to do so. While I am not avid literature follower, I love writing and conversing in my mother tongue.

Syahee.com is just launched and it has 2000+ members in a month thanks to systematic one to one marketing done amongst Gujarati community on Facebook. While the initiative is noble, and creator should be applauded for that, I feel they need to work very hard on user interface, and quality content flow. It has to have some USP in order to retain old members and attract new members. Let's hope that the website will be improved with the time and people will start posting quality content :)  Best Wishes to Sanket Joshi and his team :)

Sabarmati river front in Photos

The much awaited Sabarmati river front project by Ahmedabad municipal corporation was inaugurated by Gujarat CM Narendra modi and Nitin patel along with City mayor Asit vora. Various events like musical evening and Dream run were organised during the inauguruation. While I missed the opening ceremony I could visit it the next day along with some friends. It was a casual hangout and not photowalk hence did not click much. However I carried a cam, and succeeded in taking some pics untill someone from our group snatchd it away so that I could enjoy the gathering :P Well sharing some of the clicks here.......
