Dear Mr. Pandey, It’s sad to hear that you don’t like to get into the endless discussion of what the field needs and what it doesn’t, whereas I feel it is worthless arguing with professionals who do not accept their shortcomings. I always answer each and every mail addressed to me hence I am replying to your mails. I am thankful that we have the LIS forum to share and get information to a great extent. I always think positive hence I did not give a thought that if LIS forum would not have been there, where I would have got the information from? But still I would like to answer your query that if LIS forum would not have been, definitely there would have been other networks, forums or some platform where one could get the required information. You may not know, our professional field has grown to the extent where we have developed the LIS forum, librarian’s personal blogs, professional groups and associations which would definitely solve queries of each one of us. It’s great that you have a second home at Vashi, but it’s strange that you don’t know the difference between Vashi and Vasai. Anyways, if you have the addresses of the bookstalls in Vashi who could supply the books on competitive exams please post it to the site it will definitely be useful to the librarians residing there. If ever in future you come to Vashi please feel free to contact me we can then have positive discussion for the betterment of our professional site with a cup of coffee of course.
