Dear All,

The program of Gujarat Police Academy postponed as boys had to go for "Bandobast" :) Once again the hall was over jam packed as this time remaining 350 students and few officers enjoyed the presentation.

World Space Week Day 7 : Program at HLIC

Dear All,

It was really odd for me at first to promote my Astronomy lecture at college by moving from one class to other and ask all to join at auditorium of HLIC and came back home. Paragbhai at HL told me that even if 20-30 attends, it would be nice :(

Frankly, I am called by many for the lecture and here it was otherway round :)

Anyway, when I reached back again at auditorium, more than 50 students were in, and by the time i could set up and start, very few chairs remained empty :) The capacity would be around 250 or so.

I delivered new multi-media here as, they belong to commerce stream. I presented "Accounting of Universe". In the beginning, they were murmuring and making some noise at back but then it turned out to b an interesting to them too. They remained in chair for 1 and half hour...OMG

Yes, at the end, I felt very happy to deliver lecture to very interesting students. They asked many questions and wanted to ask more even after time up...So, I asked to give their names at office and decided to come back again for few curious students.

Place          : H.L. Institute of Commerce
Participants : 300 + with a few even standing.

World Space Week :: Day 6 - Program 2

Dear All,

After cancelling 2nd program at one B.Ed college due to some reason, 3rd program started at 4 pm at Gujarat Police Academy.

There were 350 students of police academy headed by Shri Atul karwalji. They were amazed to see the multi-media. They asked few questions and enjoyed the show for more than 100 minutes.

They saw such space program for the first time so the happiness and excitement cant be described in words.

World Space Week Day 6 :: Prog 1 @ Udgam School

Dear All,

It was wonderful beginning since morning. When I reached Udgam School, it was all nearly set to throw open the exhibition prepared by 10 students.

I was little skeptical for cent percent success of the exhibition as, I asked them to run the show on their own. They were confident and I trusted. All students were very excited and assured me for success.

In the evening, I was very happy to take supper dupper reports from participants. They were very happy for the day. Many classes and parents visited the exhibition hall and appreciated all students for their work and superb models, charts, ppt, etc. Children also conducted quiz and gifted them for their correct answers.

Nearly all visitors gave 5 star rating for their work and appreciated :)

Kudos :)))
