Friends, Some of us folks have got together to initiate an online community network *exclusively* for kannadigas, by name - 'Sampada'. The community portal is an initiative to bring about more enthusiasm towards Kannada literature and help grow the language. The focus would be on building a unique podium for everyone interested to share their thoughts, views and work in Kannada. Please find attached a PDF document that describes this initiative. Join hands, get involved and *spread the word*, to build a unique circle of literature enthusiasts. P.S: The portal uses KANNADA - UNICODE and is searchable. To know how to enable Unicode on your system, check http://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Kannada_Support (The pdf is also available at URL: http://sampada.net/sam1.pdf) ** saMpada http://www.sampada.net/ saMpada: aMtarajAladalli kannaDigara naDuve saMvahana mUDisuva j~JAnada Agara. saMpada viSvada ellA kannaDigara avagAhanege tannannu tAnu guruvAra, julai 28 raMdu samarpisikoLLalide. saMpadada vyAptige elleyennuvudE illa. kannaDa sAhitya prAkArada pratiyoMdU majalannu gurutisi, tannalli aDakavAgisikoMDu, adara rasasauraBa autaNavannu kannaDigarige baDisuvudE saMpadada guriyAgide. kannadigarellarU saMpadavannu pUrNavAgi svIkarisi prOtsAhisidalli, saMpada sadAkAla nityaniraMtaravAgi BOrgareyuva arivina nadiyOpAdiyalli pravahisuvudaralli saMSayavilla. - saMpada taMDa -- http://www.hpnadig.net/blog/ "Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties." ~ Erich Fromm
