One of my favorite pastime has consisted in apply all knowledge adquired as university professor, during more than thirty years of academic work.
It has been very exciting to apply principles and law of physics in all aspects of daily life, from technology derived from them.

Favorite Pastimes
I have spent my entire life as a teacher. After my retirement, I joined an NGO ( Behbud Association Saidpur village ) This is a charitable organization. currently, my Pastime is to look after the schools. So I like and love to help the teachers as well as the students. I make worksheets, lesson plans and collect the recourses for them. That’s why I am improving my English language too. I believe in the learning process till the end of my life.
Hello,
