User:P.K.Niyogi

With age and bad health troubling me I am unable to contribute effectively to Wikipedia for sometime. It is no use merely having my name here when I am unable to participate in all that is happening here. Therefore, I have decided to close my account. This account would not see me logging in again. I would like to thank all those who helped me with my work in Wikipedia and provided me with encouragement and support. I have enjoyed the work in Wikipedia enormously. With regards to all - P.K.Niyogi (talk) 11:01, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I enjoy writing and I write whenever and wherever I get an opportunity. I write on any topic that interests me at that point of time. The range, therefore, is quite varied – stories, articles, pieces in lighter vein, and then the factual as in Wikipedia.

I have initiated and/or contributed to the following pages apart from some contribution to numerous other pages.
