Introduction	I have been a journalist since 1980. (Studied at St. Anthony's, Egmore - 1965 - '76 - and at Loyola, Madras - 1977 - '81) I reported for The Week magazine of the Malayala Manorama and was a stringer for BBC Radio. I have been involved in the launch/ editorial and management of many free-circulation, English community newspapers - Anna Nagar Times, Adyar Times, Mylapore Times and Arcot Road Times. Today, I edit and publish Mylapore Times - launched in 1994. I am also the promoter of a few events in Madras - the Mylapore Festival held in Mylapore in early January; Madras Day celebrations held in August to celebrate the founding of this south Indian city; Art Fest - an open-air mela in public spaces for artists. Since I also teach Journalism, some Blogs here are on the first-efforts of my students.
