    Hi Shanthini Venugopal... I liked chapter 7 that was broadcast on 3rd March, more so because it was all about women and women power.. the hard work and determination ..that can take one places!
    I love the poem that you read. The song Bhizhu sang that stems out of pain, was inspirational for me.
    Gowri's story was interesting.
    I particularly liked your introduction and narration.. ..it gives me more ideas to try out more things that are in my head !
    Cheers! and all the best!!
