some websites for general reading

I often find TED [http://www.ted.com/]as a very important website for everyone. not only because it provides world class lectures in a showcasing manner but also for its priorities. The video updates often make the visitors pause and ponder over issues from far and wide disciplines. the charismatic effect that they have is to be personally experienced. I'm a stanch  follower of these videos for a long time for various reasons. hope you too had similar experiences. I herewith want to forward you a simplest example with the following link.

New India Fellowship

The core activity of the New India Foundation are the New India Fellowships, awarded to scholars and writers working on different aspects of the history of independent India. The duration of the fellowships is twelve months. Fellows are paid Rs. 70, 000 a month. Each year, a mix of young and experienced candidates are selected. The New India Fellowships are open only to Indian nationals, including those currently living abroad. Fellowship holders are expected to write original books. Their proposals should be oriented towards final publication, and outline a road map towards that destination. The Foundation is ecumenical as regards genre, theme, and ideology: the only requirement is that the proposed works contribute to the fuller understanding of independent India.Thus Fellowship holders may choose to write a memoir, or a work of reportage, or a thickly footnoted academic study. Their books could be oriented towards economics, or politics, or culture. They could be highly specific-an account of a single decade or a single region-or wide-ranging, such as a countrywide overview.
