This is a roof, under which people can have a better and healthy interaction.Our motto is to make people believe that the country-lines on the maps are just imaginary. Living in the ages of Net2.0, geographical distance is so not a bar if the desire to have a better interaction is high by sharing facts about one's culture and acknowledge others'.

The Golden Goose— a Fairy Tale
The Golden Goose— a Fairy Tale
Once upon a time there lived a queen in the city of Benaras. Her name was Khema and she was the wife of King Bahuputtaka, which means 'father of many sons'. One night, the Queen had a dream of a beautiful golden goose that spoke with great wisdom, almost as if he was a sage. She told her husband that she desperately wanted to see a bird just like the one that she had seen in her dream. So the King asked his ministers to find out all that they could about a bird such as this. He was told that such a bird did exist but was extremely rare and difficult to find. They advised him to build a beautiful lake on the outskirts of Benaras so that he may attract such rare and lovely creatures to reside there. In this way the queen might have her wish.
Towards the north, on Mount Cittakuta, there lived about ninety thousand wild geese headed by a beautiful golden goose called King Dhatarattha. He got to hear of this exquisite lake that was surrounded by flowers and trees and had lovely water lilies and lotuses floating on the surface. The king had named this lake after his wife Khema and had invited all the birds to come and live on it, promising that none of them would ever be harmed. Corn was scattered on a daily basis in order to attract the birds.

Mirror that Gives a True Reflection
Mirror that Gives a True Reflection
An inventor has designed the first mirror which gives a true reflection – and not a mirror image. Andrew Hicks' creation has several tiny curves and bends in different directions which flip a mirror image back the right way.
Text can be viewed from left to right and, if you raise a hand while looking in the mirror, your reflection appears to be raising the opposite.
Mr Hicks, a mathematician at Drexel University in Philadelphia, used computer algorithms to find the dimensions and angles need to make his invention work.
The 42-year-old has spent years creating different mirrors and has also made ones which eliminate distortion or give wide angle views.
The reflection we see in a conventional mirror is shifted from left to right, so text appears back to front.
Normal mirrors simply bounce light from an object back to the viewer.
The unique shape of Mr Hicks' design directs light from an object, across the mirror face and back to the viewer, which flips the mirror image.
