Sirhandi is currently preparing catalog for exhibition of Royal Portraits from Nepal in the 1930s and a book on contemporary miniature painting in Pakistan.

Among the aspects explored in this book are Indian students' (and their teachers') "theories" about learning English; their preferences for language learning styles; the learning and reading strategies they use to enhance their competence in English on their own; the degree of language learning anxiety they experience; and their attitudes toward, and motivation for, learning English. The results are compared to studies with subjects from other countries. The implications for the learning and teaching of English are discussed in each chapter.
