the climate is cool here in chennai and i like that. i once read a chapter written by a famous writer called Arthur C clarke about how he is feeling at home in his settled nation , sri lanka, even though his place of birth is england. this is achieved with the help of the media, in the form of radio and television and newspapers. now the bbc is broadcasting daily news and just tuning on to the radio news can make him feel like he is in his home, and then there is the television channels , international channels that broadcast local news all over the world. the same thing now holds good for an indian national living in the middle east or in south east asia, away from india. this is acheived by the Direct To Home service offered by the Prasar Barathi.
