Dear Geetha

Since your mail was copied to a number of gender groups, I thought of 
mentioning to you that the signature tune of the Sangham Radio goes like this:

Akka chellenlu koodi podamay
Mana Sanghamla maatalada podamay

which roughly translates into "Let us together go sisters, to our sangham so 
that we can talk". This is so powerful a message by them that they are going to 
use their radio to talk among themselves. Last night sitting in front of their 
station they composed a song which translates roughly as follows:





Sisters, let us go
together to our sangham, so that we can talk.
 

We have retrieved
forgotten conversations

and brought them alive in
our radio

 

We have recovered lost
festivals

and described it in
our radio

 

We have planted
diverse crops

And sung about it in
our radio

 

We have saved
traditional seeds

And brought their
methods to our radio.


Thus their radio has symbolised for them the deep pride in what they have done 
as a community of women. And it is this that they would like to talk about in 
their radio.

with warm regards

satheesh
