SAJA Convention: Chowk Insights

nikki7777..
fareed zakaria is a punjabi and a muslim...how can you be proud of such junk....;) and if he is not a punjabi, he should be, coz they are the only intelligent people in india.the other intelligent person is of course salman rushdi...a kashmiri...whereas padma darling is for the decor...no?

saima:
Thanks for sharing SAJA convention. Do you think it is becoming the `Indus` of journalism? Do they rotate convention sites or are they always in NY? Who are the karta-dhartas of the association - diasporic or foreign based journalists from the subcontinent?
And, is padma lakshmi really a journalist?

re; #5 and #2:
Padma Lakshmi wore a pink evening dress.

either you are challenging me that the world of journalist has closed doors on the new comers. what do you want me to do, cuff up my sleeves, eyes popping out, temporarily nothing swimming in my mind but anger and then invite you for a cup of tea and agree as to what you have seen. of course experience is the seniority gauge.

well between the lines, you suggest to experiment. i can`t experiment making tea all over again, but you`re welcome.

you salman and fareed, well seem to be like normal people, so why can`t we.

``Chowk gets around 10 articles and essays on most days``

That`s quite a lot. How do you decide who gets in and who is out? Since we regularly see more than one article by same authors on the front page.........

so, what was Padma Laxmi wearing?

saima:

you said:

17. There is so much to be done in the, ‘South Asian’ space. Support for journalists in countries like Pakistan who are regularly picked up and beaten. Fund-raising for poverty stricken children in Calcutta, Bombay and Karachi. Opportunities for the youth of South Asia who are regularly fed into hate factories simply because there is nothing for them to do. The South Asian space in USA is a small beginning of the huge work left to be done, before this planet can claim tall ideals such as ‘democracy’, ‘human rights’ and ‘education for all’. The global world more and more proves that it is about one world, not one region, one country or one sub-continent. We need to be ever more inclusive and ever more vigilant of forces that divide and separate us as humans, even as we seek to preserve and nurture our different ways of life.

that would be chowk in a nutshell
