Designing can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.

wow its beautiful keep it up.........------............
Well... I came across this blog while doing some research. It was amazing to realize that how immediate is the connection between one's roots and oneself. It reminds me of home and gave me a chance to refresh the sense of deep concern and love for my hometown - Chopal. Love the place, man!
I like the way you have illustrated facts and figures. There is, for sure, an immense need for creating an e-awareness of the place which deserves all that its being neglected and being taken to be granted for. It's an encouraging move.

Wish you all fortunes, dude.

My dear Ranta you are really doing a great job. it will really help us to promote our green vallies like chopal and will help to promote tourism in chopal as chaupal often remained in clutches and pauc of non exprienced politicians and being having good exposer in educational & other fields, impression of area is still not given due importance. Thankyou Ranta, I whish u all success in your own valley. Mean I am from Khagna Chaupal and am serving Ministry Of Home Affairs(CPO) as Inspector.
