Just an update on our daily NamastheTelangaana
I had a chance to visit the Namasthe Telangana office over the weekend. Its located at Krishnapuram, Road No. 10, Banjara Hills. I spoke to Mr. Srinivas Ch, Technical Head for online edition of the daily. According to him, the newspaper would start by end of May. Online edition of the newspaper may take much longer as their primary focus now is on the print edition.
It would be located at www.namasthetelangaana.com
Note the double ‘a’ in the URL. there is a small story behind it. Some one from Andhra had registered the domain and put it up for sale. When the team at Namasthe Telangaana contacted him, he quoted a mammoth price of 3 lakh rupees. Though the team offered him 50K, he was reluctant to give it. They also offered to mention a note of thanks on the website and requested him to help in the noble cause but, he insisted on the quoted price. Fed up with his attitude, they finally thought of adding an extra “A” in the domain name which would also go with the “dheergam” on “ga” in telugu. Thus, NamastheTelangaana.com was born.
