Reading done.

I have read all four essays.
They are all worth perusing. But I am sticking to my choice of Anita Rampal's essay on democratizing the teaching of science inthe Indian social context. This is because, as Miss kini says on the discussion board I'm unable to post on as yet, the essay lends itself to other applications as well.
