Namaskar,
Our respects for championing the cause of Indian Science
It gratifies me a lot when i feel that a scientist like DR.Dipankar Home hail from the same hometown I do.It is a great honour of mine to leave a comment for you.
Hello Bappa da
Yesterday night i.e on 30th Nov 2013, I came to know from Deepayan Home(Swapan Home's Son)who is in Canada now told me that u have website so I searched and found you .
Well done bappa da you are also one of the JEWEL in our Home family's Crown.....Keep it up..My self ...Kanchan (Tapan Home) of Delhi . Now live in Calcutta near Ultadanga opposite of Bose Institute(Bosu bigyan Mandir)..9830751123....keep in touch
