Om.

This is a test blog and Im trying to come up with something that would work to speed up the communication in Samskrita for our group.

I was chewing about this for a while, but in the class on 09/25, chAru bhaginI mentioned about blog and it just inspired to do more than just chewing.

Blogs typically help write whatever we think and 'thinking in Samskrita' is something I have found most useful to pick up samskritam. Day-today touch with the language is essential and we may all write whatever we think in samskrita - whether it is right or wrong. The idea is essentially to take about 5-10 mts everyday to write in the blog what one person thought in samskrita that day in samskrita.

If you have google bar in firefox, you can directly click a button and write a message. Moreover I feel the format is much easier than the yahoo groups to post our thoughts.
