Dear Panditji,
While going through your website, I found many people are interested in organic food. We
have started an organic farm near Mysore and another in Alwar and I wanted to share our
experience with others.
We grow organic crops, fruits and vegetables and also process some of the products
organically. Since we got involved in this project we have felt that using organic food is
actually a holistic way of living. It is good for the land, as the onslaught of harsh
chemicals has been checked. And it’s good for our health too—we are eating
healthy food. We appreciate Gobar Times’ initiative in spreading the message about
organic farming. Keep it up!

I am an English teacher in Thailand. I teach
English grammar and simple usages we use in day-to-day language. However, despite my best
efforts the stu-dents seem to dislike the way I teach. They find it irrelevant and most of
them fail the grammar tests. My English classes were ago-nising and I had to do something
to make my classes work! And then, while searching for teaching material on the Internet I
came across the Gobar Times website.
Your stories caught my attention. I never imagined that such a
thought-provoking magazine existed.
I now plan to teach English differently. I would like to have your
permission to adapt some materi-al from your mag-azine for my classes, with due credits to
Gobar
Times. Now I hope my stu-dents will enjoy learning English and get
interesting and relevant informa-tion about social and environmental issues.

Dear
Panditji
Two years ago I came across DTE and since then I have been a voracious reader of GT.
It’s a very nice magazine. It presents the issues and problems about environment very
interestingly. GT also gives valuable inputs on sci-ence that we use everyday. This
magazine has made a great contri-bution in this area of environment education by taking a
step forward in the right direction. I applaud your efforts.

Dear
Panditji,
I am extremely happy that the Gobar Times supplement has been brought out with the Down
To Earth issue of February 28, 2005.
I hope it will now be continued.

Dear
Panditji,
Yes!!! Finally we have our Gobar Times back on our desk. The language of Panditji has
changed too. Good! How long will you make Panditji a rustic boodhoo? It's high time
we listened to the wisdom of this man. We must learn that we need to tread softly on Earth
and not trample it. I take workshops in schools on
environment. The elite school kids always think that the dhoti-clad man on the road
is either a politician (and hence a crook) or a boodhoo and can be taken for a
ride. Or they are bechara. So the language change is what I like and am sure many
like me will say so too.
My kids found the shirt tale a little confusing. It is
probably the arrows.
On the whole, keeping the old popular style intact, the
Gobar Times team has done a great job.
With the advent of summer why not do an issue on judicious use of water. And another
Gandhi issue please? I am looking forward to GT with all my Down To Earth copies.
All the best for the team.
