		<description><![CDATA[Dear Chakuresi,
First of all, I can not resist not saying how impressed I am with your travel blog.

My name is Sam I am the moderator of an articles section on an internet site. Since you are such a great travel writer, I would like to invite you to share your articles with our visitors
Registration is free and they can suggest articles, vote and comment on them.
Visitors usually suggest them by surfing the net, this means it shouldn&#039;t necessarily be theirs. All you need to do for your article to be there is just give the link to the actual location of it and make a short description.
In this way the visitors are directly redirected to the original location of the article, but the advantage of having them placed here is that you they can comment on them.
I know this sounds a bit bizarre when explained but please visit:
 http://www.infohub.com/scripts/news_cgi/index.php?act=news&amp;order_type=2

and you&#039;ll see it&#039;s in fact very easy and enriching.
I could have suggested your articles myself, but I thought it would be so much better for you to do it yourself and then receive feedback from the visitors
Hope to see you there soon!
cheers,
Sam Foster.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hii Charukesi,
 I came across your blog by chance, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I may be disturbing you, But please do answer this query of mine. This is because I do not know a single professional who can give me advice in this regard.

I currently live in Michigan and would like to become a Qualitative researcher. However am not sure  about what academic qualifications I need to acquire. Wayne State university in Michigan is offering a course in Anthropology, where i can major with a dual concentration in &quot;Business and Cultural anthropology&quot;. 

A friend of mine says doing masters in Anthropology will help me get a job in teaching/ in a university rather than in a business environment.She says a wiser thing to do would be - Do an MBA, Get into market research and become a qualitative researcher.

I have two questions to ask you:

1) Masters in Anthropology or an MBA in marketing ---- Which do you think is a better option to become a qualitative researcher and have a non academic career at the same time?
2)In India are there enough job opportunities for a qualitative researcher?
Thank you for your time and patience. I hope you will take some time off your schedule to answer this query of mine.
Regards,
Deepti]]></description>
