Himvani completes 2 years

‘We’, the people give ourselves HimVani

The severe winter in Himachal seems to be thawing and the days are getting warm and sunny. It seems the weather gods have relented to allow celebrations on February 14th. Well, today happens to be the second anniversary of HimVani.com. So here we are at the end of another milestone in our journey, which seems to have just begun. Ever since this initiative was launched, we have seen many ups and downs and the previous year was no different. But the important thing is – we still believe in ourselves, our belief that we can make a difference, and also the power of the masses.

Though we are still nowhere near what we intend to do, support from you all has been encouraging enough to make us move ahead. Being a citizen journalism based initiative, we have relied heavily on voluntary contributions and the HimVani family has never let us down. Though many-a-time we had run dry of content because either there was nobody to write or we had content which was not good enough, but every little contribution made a difference. There have also been trying times in our personal lives and many-a-time we have been challenged from within, but we stuck to the task and have continued to deliver. Though some of you may feel disillusioned by what we are claiming, but a good starting has been made and soon we all will see results at the ground level because we don’t do just the talking all the times. A lot is happening which, of course, is not visible on the website, but is very essential to our mission.
