Estimating the comparative value of INR decades ago vs Now.

Recently I read news about the demise of Mr Rakesh Jhunjhunwala; he was considered as Warren Buffet of India because of his skills & fortune in the stock market. At the time of his death, he had an estimated net worth of $3.8 billion. Then I read another article, “How did Rakesh Jhunjhunwala make his billions?”.

How I started learning English!!

A couple of days before a friend of mine attempted an English test. They struggled with it. So when I saw that test, I was comfortable with it.

DGPLUG Summer Training

Last year I was going through my LinkedIn feed, And I saw a post about an open-source training in which participants will be taught to grow their skills and become upstream open-source contributors.

So after I read the post, I searched about it and found out that DGPLUG stands for Durgapur Linux User group.

Can knowledge be dead if not renewed ?

However i find the lines of the pages underlined with thoughts i used to get while reading the chapters.
