*Dear Dear Tapas da* first : i respect you and your dedication and work you have been the dada in true sense, consulting here, but sending me info on the jandaman island stuff when i wanted to see them. i deeply appreciate it and you.
BHL comment is not personal. BHL by its own computer algorithm does let me download some pdfs. thats all. Secondly BSI used to have a library in back of Indian Museum, i have gone there many years ago, but lack of environmental hardships the people were not so patient even if they wanted to. I did get to see some journal if i recall, but its not just BSI library, the National library where I have been a member since about 1959 or so is equally dismal. Asiatic soc has it far worse, and the Presidency Univ is dismal too. where can one turn, esp younger up and coming scientist? And I am sure the GOOD scientists like yourself keep doing research and producing papers despite these hardships, and i marvel at that. BSI ENVIS annual reports show new species identified by the dozens each year, that can be scores if more facilities were to be available. *Pankaj *its not grudge that i am talking about, but a restlessness and uneasiness, when the world is flying by, and we are stagnating in politics and whatever else that hampers us. And Scientists are not given their full respect or facilities. and thank you for showing me the books, i esp liked to see that Jana got the gingers book out. now we wait for your compilation. usha di On Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 1:46 PM, Tapas Chakrabarty <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Usha di and Pankaj ji, > It is not "strange" for me that no Govt. gave or gifted me any book in 40 > years of my research career!
