Holiday Work

After a long time, I am able to come to office on holidays. I worked on almost all hodiays this week . I could complete 3 articles and a few other work that was pending for the past several months. I am very happy that I could do it.

I have been seeing the blog entries of the students. It is wonderful experience, particularly the way they responded to my call. I congradulate all of them. Really it gives me satisfcation that I could initiate at least 2/3 people for online culture.

I passed on the workshop money to Ayesha. List of 9 students name was also given to her (one person has to still give the money to me.

Now it is 8 pm. I am hearing the crackers sound. But in my office I am alone and enjoying the work.
