I've shared some items with you
Message from ajaykuma...@gmail.com:
Dear Friends,

I am hereby sharing you the document related to one of the best LaTeX document class. The shared folder contains a pdf file with the description with the link to the tutorials. The folder also contains the .tex file.

Along with this, the second pdf file is the manual for the document class. I thought this might be helpful. Hence I am sending it to you, after I tried working on it. I found it good. 

Thank  you.

With regards,
-Ajay Kumar G

Dear Vinay,

Never ever compare any office tools to TeX or LaTeX. The power of typesetting in TeX is so perfect that, since 1991, till date, not even a single flaw has been found in the program. Donald E Knuth, the originator of TeX had once declared in the website that he would award some thousands of euros if anyone finds a single flaw in his program, and no matter what happened, but actually none did turn up. As I said, there was not a single mail pointing to the flaw.

Besides, once you start using this TeX, I am sure you will never use any office softwares. No doubt, that LibreOffice, OpenOffice are good. But, the typesetting quality and other features are not so well in office tools. Besides, once U start working, u ll come to know the power of it. Type lshort in google.
And study the whole pdf. It will give u some intro to this software usage.
Any doubts u can just mail me.

Thank you,

With regards,
-Ajay Kumar G

Dear Ajay,
                Its really astonishing that Donald was so confident about his code.. Its difficult to produce such flawless code..
               Anyhow, this thing is very new to me.. I haven't heard about it till today.. also i'm new to FOSS.. still a lot more to explore..
               Thank you very much for the info.. I'll definitely go thru it...
Regards
Vinay
