The other column I&#8217;m responsible for is also up and running well now, judging by the feedback I&#8217;ve received. This one is titled &#8216;Ideas @ work&#8217;, and in it, we feature Bangalore based startups. The column appears every Monday, usually on Page 4. I&#8217;ve been updating them on the new space on the right column- &#8216;In print&#8217;, but in case you haven&#8217;t noticed, the ones that have been featured so far are <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/cqZUHW\" target=\"_blank\">Oye Happy<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ciXx78\" target=\"_blank\">LifeMojo<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/gnQqkG\" target=\"_blank\">MobStac<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bangaloremirror.com\/article\/10\/2010112920101129051317354ff8d27f3\/Explore-Revu-Get-rewarded.html\" target=\"_blank\">Revu<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/h9qj2m\" target=\"_blank\">Recruiterbox<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/g9pTiC\" target=\"_blank\">The India Market<\/a>.

We&#8217;re also going to dedicate about one column a month for social entrepreneurship ventures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, in case you come across an interesting Bangalore based startup, feel free to ping me at manu(dot)prasad @ gmail (dot) com.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">until next time, upstart \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the Twitter bio now has an addition &#8220;Columnist&#8221;.
