Dear All, I would like to provide an update. I had a word with Shilpa Patankar, the reporter of the article and she agreed to correct the wrong data. Also, she will be getting in touch with me directly or whoever is in my position to get an update with regard to Pyladies Bangalore activities. These were the points that I raised with her.
1. Representatives from the different organizations were asked to provide comments. However, she had not taken my comments , neither made an attempt to get in touch with me. 2. I was told that at the last minute, she had to hurry and hence could not connect with me. However, a second version of the same article goes up again on the second day. She had no comments for that. 3. I believe she spoke to Anand Chitipothu who has both my number and email address. He could have done the kind deed of giving it to the reporter. Finally, I am talking to some of the other people on the news report, Geetha ma'am, who extended her support to me. @S bar S, Show me a rapist who will advertise first before committing a rape so that I/ law can hang him before he commits a rape. Its a pity that a women has to learn a foreign language(English) to even stand up and speak up for herself. I will leave you to live your words. Morever, I was busy last night, sending this email thread to all the women groups all over the word. The Ada initiative, The Anita Borg institute, The systers group, the Pyladies international group, the ubuntu women, the openstack group, Linuxchix, the pyladies organizers group, and the other groups that I am part of are reading this email thread currently. All others, I am pushing this thread to the Pyladies mailing list. I am sorry that I have no other go other than raise it a place where everyone will know about it.
