I always enjoyed the wide spectrum of audience, from 8 year old naively curious children to 80 year old wise and enthusiast old people. At TAS I did not learnt only Astronomy and Astrophysics but also management skills, public relations and most importantly constantly improved to be a better human. Tanmaye Vyas!
