| Big Kid Reaction: The stories are wonderful. You'll want them for your portable DVD (or iPod). We like the fact that this is more like reading an animated book than watching a movie. They remind us of watching the stories on Between the Lions. |

| Giving literacy a new direction |
| Thursday, October 4, 2007 |
| Brij Kothari and his team innovated and pioneered the use of Same Language Subtitling on Bollywood songs on TV, for mass literacy in India, effectively giving a new thrust to the literacy movement. He spoke to Deccan Herald on his future plans. “We are over-obsessed with the literacy “rate” and much less, the quality of literacy.
