Namaste Raman Ji, As i was going through your reply note i was thinking one needs dedication of my beloved Raman Ji to achieve something.
I noticed this post, featuring you, much before receiving mine. Was hesitant to react, you know how students do feel when they see their teachers are engaged in pursuit of knowledge, they simply fear to intrude.
