Hey Rajkamal , A decent initiative on your part . Seems that you are from I.E.E.T. At our time the crowd there was not that dumb,as you are mentioning them to be now .And i really fear if now the institute is going in that direction. Besides that all ,I wish you get the best results in your efforts .
