I also made some progress with Kutchi Dictionary work. I met Dr. Dhiraj Chheda in regards to that and we are aiming to publish the Kutchi dictionary in August ’07. Tomorrow is our Jain Student’s Association visit to the Jain temple. We have rented three cars and around 15 of us are going. Will also upload pics of my Mumbai trip soon and normal routine – studies and work will start from Monday. That’s all for now. Bye.
