must thank you for all that u have done thus far…i guess now the onus is on me to retain the disseminated knowledge and do the needful on the 23rd of May….
In anycase, carry on the great work….this website is the best of the breed…..
This is for all those who are aspiring/preparing for any exam or harbouring any dream:
"Be fit for more than the thing you are now doing. Let every one know that you have a reserve in yourself; that you have more power than you are now using."
Here's hoping that all of us will unleash that magical power just in time…..
