tell me about it
that's 100 rs more than what i was offered to teach a class of 300 1st and
2nd year med students,  I did not belong to the correct group pf
influential people in the officialdom

i know i had to ask dad to help me with the bus fare to work

and the same people talked a lot to newspapers about brain drain!!!

===

but we were better photographers for the economy, had to really plot out
what we wanted to photograph ,

and made me learn my camera and it functions well and  few filters that
there were... usually begged them from microscopy lab techs or welders.

ps
 I asked you about collecting by hand back then because of the skin
reactions, did you?
did you get skin allergies or burns?
