At 12.30 p.m on Monday, 2nd October, watch Star Gold. Why? Because, prior to the 1 p.m. premiere of Rang De Basanti, the channel is showing a feature 'Rang De Basanti salaam'. This feature offers a salute to ,quote, "five unsung heroes who have risen above and beyond their everyday lives" unquote; Manjunath Shanmugam is one of the five.
As you may recollect, Manjunath was an IIML alumnus and an IOCL employee, who was murdered on Nov 19, 2005 for standing up against oil adulteration. Manju's 5 minute story will cover (based on what was shot), his family, friends and the Trust set up in his memory (www.manjunathshanmugamtrust.org) as also recreation of the incident. The other four stories are also really worth watching..
