This being the very first entry, we would like to spell out what you can expect to see here:
- MEGA Event Announcements: Announcements of MEGA events such as ‘Cultural Night,’ ‘Road Trip,’ etc. To be tagged as #megaevent
- Technical articles: Pretty much self-explanatory and relates to the ‘E’ (for Engineering) in MEGA. We welcome articles from MEGA members that are related to their branch of Engineering. Preferably short pieces of no more than 2,000 words. To be tagged as #technical
- Member’s announcements: On the positive side, this could be about some achievements of MEGA members or their families. Something like, say, a member’s child winning a prize in an athletic event or a coveted admission to an Ivy League institute. Or even the announcement of a new family member. On the negative side, it could be a bereavement or the illness/ hospitalization of a member/family. Anything worth sharing to foster a sense of community. To be tagged as #memberannouncement
- Job openings: Any interesting job openings to be tagged as #jobad
- Local Malayalee news/events: Any local cultural news such as a dance performance or a concert. Not meant to be reviews of such events, but rather announcements. Shall be tagged as #keralanews.
- Any other items that could be of interest to the Malayalee Engineer that would like to settle down in Canada. I have not decided on a tag for this at this time. #pravasi? Maybe.
Now, there are also topics that you will not see here, such as:
- Political news: Although we recognize everyone is entitled to their own political views, this forum will not be dealing with anything remotely political.
- Anything that is deemed to be hateful/discriminatory towards any community: Strictly a big no-no.
- Anything that has religious dimensions.
