Such people give a ray of hope in the dismal scenario where all we can see is "Brain Drain" around us. These are the real assets of our country.

Great news.

Good luck Dr Khan and Dr Poshni. I know you are going to do an amazing job as teachers. Please do an “irfan C” with the new generation. We need thinking minds.
