10 Years of ASKSiddhi

19th August 2003, we uploaded the first news in Japanese (Indian restaurant's "Atiti" at the New York Blackout: http://jp.asksiddhi.com/news/19082003.htm) on the Web, aiming to explore positive faces of India and introduce them in Japanese.

Since then, ASKSiddhi has grown so much with thousands of news and columns, all thanks to readers. 10 years in India were filled with memorable experiences and great lessons. It is our passion for being different, and we will continue uploading only positive news and maintaining a positive attitude.

It is our mission to keep learning about India and the rest of the world. It is our devotion to investing our genuine efforts in ASKSiddhi so that it can encourage some readers.

Soon, ASKSiddhi will experience the 3rd renewal with better layout.

Lastly but most importantly, I sincerely thank you all for supporting us. I look forward to keeping strong bond with you in the future.
