Thought of the Week

If someone helps us, we thank him. In another case when someone
makes an effort and does not succeed, we fail to respond to that
fellow. Here we should be rather more thankful to him because besides
his efforts, he has suffered through the pain of failure also." Quoted by
- Pramod Kumar Sharma

Book Review
Targeted at the travel enthusiasts who want to explore
the hidden treasures of Maharashtra, the author goes
where no conventional guidebooks have gone before.
Beautifully illustrated with fact files, photographs &
sketches,
places where you can get away from commercialized tourist
centers and noisy crowds, the book can be used as a
handbook for tourists and will also appeal to historians,
Archaeologists and academicians.
