Nitesh,
Some how i stumbled upon at your pages.
Your passions look great and your writings are very interesting. Only few people will have the ability to pen ( or type) down their thoughts in a right manner, which interests others. You have very good writing and organizing skills. Develop it and Keep it up.
Thanks,
SaravanaKumar
