Hearty congratulations to Dr Pankaj ji and Dinesh. Contribution of both of them is tremendous.. not only in terms of good photographs but also the content, the matter they put in it ..making the pics a pictorial story in itself....Dinesh always comes with innovative idea when it comes to presentation.
Both of them are always the best when it comes to photography but more than that, they are helpful and humble...
