From the desk of Managing Editor- Giri Gupta: 19 December
The year 2014 is drawing to a close. This has been a big year for the Indian Weekender. We have made some big strides this year, made some new and exciting additions to our publication and enjoyed every bit of compiling each of our editions for our readers. We are very proud that this year was the year that the Indian Weekender became the only weekly Indian community publication. The reason for taking this big step has been just one – our readers want to hear more from us. We are indeed very grateful for the support we have received from not just the Indian community but also the larger community who has shown a great interest in the contents of our publication. I have had the opportunity to meet with other community leaders, artists, media people and members at large of the Kiwi community and they have all heard about Indian Weekender and use it to keep abreast with what is happening in our community. It thus becomes our responsibility to ensure that our strengths and positives are not just reported but also enhanced. It is for this reason that the Indian Weekender, in spite of the criticism, never gives up on its optimism and positivity.
In this issue we present a wrap up of all that has made headlines through the year. All our main columns wrap up their year with the highlights of the year. We are also including a timeline of the strides that IWK has made in the year gone by.
So as to keep improving your reading experience, we are also initiating a reader’s survey. We would like to request all our readers to participate in this survey. This will help us improve our publication and bring you more of what you enjoy. This is really the time to have your say in your own community publication. All completed surveys will go in a draw to win exciting prizes. We look forward to hearing from you all.
The time for festivities is upon us. But let’s spare a thought for all those who may be battling with their own challenges and problems. Our hearts go out to the families of the little children who were mercilessly targeted by the enemies of humanity. Let’s take time to say a collective prayer for peace in this world. Each one of us can make a difference, every single prayer counts.
Before I sign off for the final time this year, on behalf of the IWK family, we wish that you and your families have a safe, healthy and a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. We will be back next year with your favourite publication to undertake yet another journey with our readers in 2015.
For one final time this year – may the force be with you!
