Writer's block

Hi friends


You may be surprised to see someting new on the blog after a long time .. but simultaneously there is nothing new actually!!!!!!!!!

I am not a great writer but still I felt that I am unable to write something new which would be exciting for me as well as for others too. This is not an excuse but I was preoccupied with my personal and other professional priorities too. But I promise that I will be back on my track and hope it to continue.

Good news is that I had published a paper titled as "Application of modern techniques in Library Service : A case study of Insurance Sector Library " along with my colleague Ms. Bhagyashree Sane who presented the paper at 10th MANLIBNET Convention received the BEST PAPER AWARD.

Meantime I got many hits, new followers and new comments too. I thank you all.

Have faith and keep going
