Where to Apply for Observerships

This is years of my hard work. People just REMEMBER one thing. Don't forget the BASICS. I
had seen people who never respond after they get the RESIDENCY. But don't forget what you
were Few years back-struggling there to FIND A WAY. Inculcate the HABIT OF HELPING
OTHERS.
P.S.: Even now many people dont read what i wrote on top. They just want to get away with the
list. Try their chances and relax back. So just think once. I may not change you. But i can TRY
that at least. Comments and Critics are WELCOME. I love them.
