Tonight was a typical occasion.

We just wrapped up filming an interview about 30 Masjids.

The segment was filmed by OMNI TV (@OMNITelevision) Cameraman Walter with Reporter Meetu Khosla (@meetukhosla) conducting the Interview.

UPDATE (Friday 3:32 p.m.): From Meetu Khosla,

…wanted to let you know that we have decided to air your interview on Monday since Ramadan will be over, and it might be more timely.

Monday is actually much better. More people can watch the story on Monday than trying to catch it tonight with Ramadan related responsibilities being a priority over TV News. – HiMY

Watch for it on Friday MONDAY Evening on the South Asian Edition of OMNI News.

Will post a link once the interview goes online.

Thank You OMNI Television !

Can’t wait to see it!

UPDATE : VIDEO Now Online: Month Of Ramadan Toronto cyclist visited 30 mosques in 30 days.
