Why Donate to MSI ?
MSI is a non-profit venture created, promoted, paid for and supported on a day-to-day basis by me. In addition, there are several unpaid volunteers who help me update various pieces of data from around the world. While I started this effort in early 2000s,it became a publicly available site in April 2006. Today,there are thousands of malayalees who use our data. Our user community span music fans, competitors at the talent shows, radio jockeys , writers, critics and TV stations. There are active users of MSI from nearly 80 countries across the world. We have approximately 2 million hits on our site every month. There are several maintenance expenses that I incur for running a site such as domain registration, hosting, disk space and bandwidth in addition to the development and upkeep of the site and the data, as well as the coordination of various pieces of data that make MSI what it is. In addition, I buy various pieces of software used for the application development for creating and maintaining various parts of MSI. I also buy significant amounts of music (Audio CDs,LPs,Cassettes), movies (VCDs,DVDs) and literature to legally find out the correct information of all the data we have on the site. Unlike other non profit sites, we do not run any ads to enhance the user experience and to increase our level of objectivity. If you like MSI, its philosohy,presentation, and our responsiveness, please consider supporting this effort by making a small donation to cover our expenses. If you haven't yet bought our Audio CD (Hridayamuralika), you can support us also by buying a copy of the CD. Any help will be appreciated. Contact me directly if you would like to transfer the money to the MSI account in Kochi, Kerala. Remember, every penny helps and no amount is too small to keep our efforts going. Sincerely Yours,
