Dear Friends,
I am introducing you to some of my work which have been published in the last five six years. After much effort these books have been made available on Amazon and I hope you will now be able to order them for your personal collections or libraries. I would be grateful if you can write your impression about them. I am not really a commercial author and have made all effort to document the grassroots movements and knowledge. Most of this work is unpaid as I was never part of any organised network or association. I have rarely written to people but now I am writing in hope that you will find some of them useful. If you feel that they are important please do write your impressions and promote them which will give me strength and encouragement to contribute further.
