Many argue that this should understandably be the part of a science curriculam ! But others aptly state that science is the only content here and the way it should be presented/mnifested needs artistic calibre only and call for the age old as well as ingenious methods… Continue

This is one of the few times I've had a break but yes, been utterly busy and sort of neglected this site a bit, actually a lot :). With the end of the year coming up, I'm expecting more busy days ahead but definitely I will check out your topics as soon as I'm free :)

- Its really strange, i am not remembering anything abt you, Mr. Gouhar Raza and Mr. Vishwamohan Tiwari was the main speakers over there, and I also know little abt Shree Manoj Pateria, infect for my research i did a small survey and for that i had sent my Quest. to Shree Vishwamohan and Guhar Raza, Bhaskar and DR. Thakur from himachal, they all replied, but after that no contact with anyone, i got invitation for khajuraho workshop but not attended that conference, i am in touch with mrs. ratna mitra, i will read both the websites, but give me little time, after that i will definitely take part in all discussions. best regards and take care.
