Everybody knows about Sunita Williams. Then, what do you want me to say about her? I cannot be an American if I were to have ‘James’ as my name; Sunita cannot be an Indian either. If you say anything more than this such as Indian origin etc., you are a fool! Sunita Williams is stuck […]

They used to be very expensive. Some typewriter brands which I can immediately recall are: Godrej, Brother, Remington etc. They […]
