Good information about the forthcoming eclipse, which is visible in India in totality after a long gap, and it is said, such opportunity will come after 85 Yrs.
Why not witness it scientifically and safely, instead of staying indoors. However I suggest use of safe solar filters eclipse goggles which can be procured at www.astronomyindia.org/shop I am a regular buyer from them since 1995 and found them to be qualitative and safe.
