Nat Geos are going to stay for this and many future generations of Misras. No way they are going to leave my house :-) There is a guarantee provided by me, that you can ask for them whenever you want them back if you miss them so much. People still dont believe my luck to get such a collection so easily. I have not got around yet to making a dedicated bookshelf exclusively for this collection, but I will get around to it one of these days. btw: I have a Cannon SLR EOS 1000F with a 35-50mm lens purchased in 1992 . This was in the days when digital was not invented as yet and this took real excellent photos. There is some small problem in the shutter assembly which needs looking at and possibly fungus in the lens. If you are interested in the old fashioned photography with old fashioned film, I would like to offer it to you. Let me know if you think you could and would use it. Are you in Bangalore right now ? I remember that you were on a long visit to USA. btw: i assume that you are aware of this group freecycleblr? This is a real nice way to dispose of things you dont need though I suspect that it is not fully used in India in the spirit for which ti was intended. You can check out this group at yahoogroups if you have not heard of it. Deepak
