I’ve been on the look out for the past few months for a quality dining room table set, and I tell you, nothing has been harder. My friend told me about http://www.SecondHandMall.com, Within few moments we had found and visited a couple who were selling their Wooden dining room table set with 6 chairs just for Rs. 5000/-.

I was happy to purchase second hand, we saved money and got a fantastic quality table.

IT IS THE BEST SITE I HAVE COME THROUGH. IT IS SIMPLE AND EASY TO USE. Well guys visit http://www.SecondHandMall.com really good site to buy and sell used things.

Thanks for the info about Nokia’s Life Tools, Kiruba. Very useful for me as I’m researching on technology use in rural areas.

Hi Hari, thanks for your encouragement. I find that most social initiatives or CSR related initiatives work best when its integrated well into the business interest of the companies. There’s greater chances of success for such good natured initiatives.

Sandeep, agree with you. It will be the mobile revolution that will be the one to watch out for after the Green and White revolution.

Hi Vasanth, Nokia actually uses the Reuters content to power the Life Tools service.

Kiruba – This is not a new concept, Reuters has already implemented something like this in India in 2007 in and it is a great sucess.

Great post Kiruba.

Mobile information technology is empowering the rural and power people of India. This transition will help India move out of the ‘Dickensian’ society structure that holds people back just because of who they were born as.

It is interesting how commercial entities are joining in to work on projects which enhance lives of people.

You are a great positive role model – we like to read your posts. It also helps motivates and generate ideas.
