This is an idea still in germination. It has the potential to become the much needed alternative media that will bring inpiration, hope and constructive action in our world.

We welcome anyone who would like to join us by contributing as a writer, editor, photographer or reporter of positive news. You do not have to be highly qualified or experienced. Some passion, love and clarity of purpose is what it takes to radiate ripples of goodness into many hearts.

 To begin with it will be a four page newspaper. It will consist of the following:

1) Goodness Articles - Good news/events that are happening in Ahmedabad.

2) Everyday Heroes - Stories of those inspiring people living in Ahmedabad who are doing small things with great love.

3) Random Acts of Kindness - (A) In short stories. (B) Capture an act through a series of pictures.

4) Feature of a Progressive Non-profit each week

5) Readers Letters - Stories of reader’s random acts of kindness. Also a space for reader comments

6) Inspiring Quote in each issue.

7) Every issue gives information on a Lost Story of our heritage. The gujarati tradition is slowly disappearing in the life of a modern/global Ahmedavadi youth.
Options: (A) Article on an old tradition that is slowly getting forgotten but still has much value Eg. Lifestyle in Pols in olden times (b) An inspiring episode from the life of a great person, (Eg: Vinoba Bhave, Vikram Sarabhai, or Gandhiji), that occured in Ahmedabad (c) Old wisdom- eg. Health related -eating habits of gujaratis, etc.

8) Be the Change - Ideas for readers of what we can do as Ahmedabadis. Within this section there will be a column called "Collective Action" - Where for Example: This week on saturday between 8am and 12 pm we will plant a tree wherever we are in this city. Or This week at this time we will pick up trash from the streets.

9) Interesting articles or research piece that brings together science, spirituality and service.
