Great photographs Niranjan. I couldn't stop myself from commenting on each and every photo; so ultimately thought to give a general comment. They are so beautiful and relevant for the telecentre community. Where were you hiding them? It makes me think of doing a kind of short internship with Shilpa Sayura!!

Hi Niranjan!

Thanks so much for sharing with us some photos. It would be great if you can organize all related photos in one album and also add an appropriate description for each picture so that the community will be able to appreciate it better.

Best regards.
