the

Autobahn or Expressway at 140 km while working in the South is going in a
buggy on bumpy broken down passge which was once a makadam road. Researching
in the South gives one satisfaction of  a job of a lifetime.  Social, human,
equity in addition to technical aspects are involved.
Our colleagues are strong agitators for better public transport and cycling
in Pune and other cities.  Based in Mumbai

easily accessible resource.  Best wishes.
