Xavier Bage So glad to know. It's a blessing of God to have parents who are well off enough to buy a house of their own. Someone said to me some days ago, living in your own house is a joy indescribable.

Xavier Bage Sorry, it is an error. It should be a "senior member of the church". He was "disappointed " as according to him there were not as many songs in Bengali as he would have liked.

Xavier Bage Well said. These are the concepts l try to build in the students. They gradually come to that level of grasping. The videos of planets moving around the sun help them to understand how this law of gravity works.
