I was very happy to participate in the gathering to mark Citizen Matters’ turning 10. Though on the fringe, I have followed “CitMat”‘s (as I call it) fortunes, and it’s not an easy “matter” to be uncompromising about one’s principles while trying to survive as an e-magazine.

We enjoyed the team talking about various incidents in the past, and what I liked was that the journey was depicted as it was…with the highs and the lows.

Smiles after 10 years, CitMat, Blr, 220918
A radiant Meera with some of the many friends who surround and support her.
I was able to put faces to many of the names I have been seeing, reading and following.
Here’s wishing Citizen Matters the best for the journey ahead!
