As you know, the guestbook and discussion forum tools have been offline for a long time now. This was due to spam posts made by automated engines, filling the pages with inappropriate materials. As an answer to our request for suggestions, someone pointed out that Yahoo offers a free service whereby through Yahoo Groups, one can set up a number of different tools like a discussion forum, file and photo sharing, calendar etc. So, taking that good advice, we have recently set up a Yahoo group for Chhandayan. You will find the link below, please join in and help us get this project off the ground.

Thank you,
Webmaster
