Conformt in journey is more important

Treat Pavement as a structure

I m a simple but an ambitious person. A post graduate from IIT KGP. Going ahead towards the goal. I believe targetting the sun to get the moon atleast. Friends and elder say that I am hardworking, sincere, caring and knows to respect the elders. Juniours say our best dada, very helpfull and kind hearted. And you know..... the most priced students that I own, say, I am the one who taught them how a teacher shall teach being friendly. According to them I have redefined the definition of teacher...... god knows.. they are correct or not... ! Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am a lecturer by profession in a World class University in India. And a Civil Engineer by knowledge and degree. And to tell you I am not a poor man but very rich one.. . hmmm.. calm down.... and be cool.... !! I am only rich in honesty and confidance and really not in money. I know money is the petrol of life, but I believe in the fact that the driver lead the vehicle in the peak of the steep terrain having petrol in the stomac. .. Hmmm.   Born at Agartala, Tripura, India had schooling there too. And studied at different parts of India and working outside Tripura at present. But I dont like to hide that I am more interested in exploring, discovering and innovating. This is my second job to attend within last four years among so many offered options. To be very frank, this is not the last one also but not mandatory. Now I am in India; tomorrow I may be in the other part of the globe for a while, but near the end stage of journey, I will prefer to come back to my origin to complete the circle of journey of life resembling the fact that shape of earth is like orrange.
