Drishtikone is a Hindi word for “Perspective” revealing dimensions of various things. Blogger Desh Kapoor mainly has given Drishtikone.com a spiritual orientation. Thus “View from an Angle” elaborates the relation between mind, body, feelings, thought as whole a complete human perspective. Interestingly writings have been deliberately made more analytical as opposed to just informative to capture readers attention.
The cleaner and more intuitive design compel visitor to stop here for few more minutes. The logo really says open yourself to “perspectives”. Navigation seems to be simple. With inclusion of more interesting features like sociables, rating blogs are making sense while denoting blogs a social media. Adding Birth-dates feature is a deliberate effort to make Drishtikone a community.
Listing of Indian restaurants in USA is a certainly an endeavor to promote Indian culture and cuisine in USA. Something that really makes Drishtikone different from other blogs is “Food for Thought” offering every visitor a unique perspective to view world and understand it.

It is easy to find comprehensive resources on most Western achievers, but it is rare to find about heroes from any of the developing countries particularly women. That never meant that the heroes do not exist however dilemma is; they are not written about.
The most respected of scholars, such as Mohammad Allama Iqbal, and champions of human rights causes, such as Abdul Sattar Edhi, are virtually unknown to general Western public and to the world at large. Finding literature on women achievers from South Asian or Muslim countries is even more unusual.
This website is a good effort in this regard by an Pakistani-American woman; Laila Kazmi-Barsotti decided to highlight the many inspirational women from Pakistan at jazbah.org. She with his team is able to create dynamic Web presence intended to recognize the great women achievers of Pakistan.
