Epic India Yahoo Group: Restart or don’t start? Vote now!

Some of you, about 50 at last count, may recall the Epic India Yahoo newsgroup I’d started sometime last year, for fans of my Ramayana books as well as people interested in Indian culture, new and old, in general.

Early this year, I had to put the group on hiatus because my other commitments, especially my Mahabharata first draft, demanded too much of my time.

But ever since then, I’ve been asked time and time again by fans and readers when I’m likely to re-start the group.

Well, it’s a difficult question. I’m not exactly sitting around footloose and fiance-free. But then again, I guess if so many of you really enjoyed the group and our discussions that much, it’s a shame to shut it down.

So I’m going to take a vote right here and now.

Use the comments link below this posting to voice your demand, if you want the group resurrected.

(If you’re not interested, you needn’t post any comment, silence is always taken to be non-interest!)

I’ll check back from time to time. If I find a substantial number of people want the group, then I’ll restart it and find time to moderate it, as well as contribute as much as possible to the discussions.

So go ahead, post your comment below. And tell your other friends/fellow Ramayana readers, or anyone interested in discussing Indian culture, books, movies, music, history, life in general, to post their comment too.
