Tid Bit from My Diary

Time Freezes... The Sun is setting ... A plane about to land.. while a boat lazing aro und They say Industrial revolution has brought in the concept of mass education where large number of pupils were taught in the classrooms as opposed to one is to one teacher student relationship. The result have been amazing and the world started to mass produce all the produce all categories of professionals.

We could sti...
