RSS Feeds for Indian Columnists

Frustrated by Indian Express's inability to provide individual syndication feeds for its columnists, I have written scripts to parse the HTML pages and generate the feeds myself.

Here are the feeds for
Shekhar Gupta
Tavleen Singh.
R. Jagannathan (DNA India)
Arun Shourie
Sudheendra Kulkarni
Ila Patnaik
Pratap Bhanu Mehta

If you want this for another columnist, let me know and I will add that too. This is very easy to do for Indian Express columnists as I already have the script, but I can also help with other websites.

P.S. The script is in ruby and I will release the source after I fix some things and clean it up some more.
