Hello everyone,

I have written a bunch of articles for Pagalguy over the past couple of years and I thought it would be best if could compile them at one location. Given below is the list of articles with their links. You can go through them at the links given below. Alternatively, you can download them in a PDF format from this link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14051908/Articles.pdf

I hope you like this compilation. Please suggest topics for more articles that haven't been covered already. You can just reply on this thread. I plan to post an article a week and hopefully before CAT 13 I would have covered most topics.
