congrats, Dr. Babu Gogineni garoo!
I must congratulate you, in particular and the IHEU in general in celebrating the birthdays of eminent Scientists of Darwin & Galeileo. There is no evolution theory without Darwin and there is no astronomy and no internet without Galeileo. They were the pioneers of today's science and today's devices. We have aptly commemorated their contributions under the aegis of Sri Babu Gogineni, who has motivated the students and like minded atheists by flashing smss over cellular phones. His moderation and spontaneity in organizing the largely attended conference is great success to rationalists like me. This Conference with its movies, discourses from eminent scientists and PSR & questions and answers enlightened scientific temper in the audience, students in particular. Really haunting..experience.. One and all attended the Conference enjoyed new world of Science &Science and nothing beyond...
gratefully yours,
G. Kanakachary,
a staunch rationalist
