Divya Bhaskar carried an article about Gujarati Blog world this Sunday. Gujarati Lexicon, Utkarsh, Kartik Mistry and Meena Chheda have all got place in the article, and that makes us proud! The Gujarati blog world is growing, and it’s good to see that newspapers are taking notice of that. Divya Bhaskar is considered a progressive newspaper, and it’s commendable for them to cover such topics. Kartik has blogged more on this, along with a photo of the article.
In another media coverage the same day, Zee Gujarati extensively covered Gujarati Lexicon in an afternoon show. I did not see the show, and would love to get a copy of it, but people who saw, reported it was good coverage.
So two good news on the same day. Incidently April Fool’s Day!

After Chitralekha did a story on us (GujaratiLexicon and Utkarsh, Chitralekha site requires special font download to view the site in Gujarati); we have been getting lot of inquiries. Comments have ranged from thrilled Gujarati’s, to upset people who couldn’t get the free CDs to people who put the CD in a VCD player.
Then there is another set of people. People who’ve been working on the language for years and are happy to see this happening. Ratilal Chandaria was one such person, who came down to meet us specially six months ago. That meeting started a new journey for Utkarsh. We shook hands with GujaratiLexicon and now taking full care of it.
This time too, we are meeting many such people. Upendra Dave from London was impressed and wants to do something in the areas of learning Gujarati with electronic media. Mayank Thakkar came from Mahuva and would like us to do something in Education. And then there are many other people that either Ashok or Kartik met.
It’s an honor to meet people who have given their life to the language. Gives us energy to keep pushing this endeavor.
There is lot more that’s coming on Utkarsh now!
