Sorry my typo in the output here is the correct output that i need :
[('John Konon', 'Ministry of moon Walks', '4567882', '27-Feb'),
( 'Stacy Kisha', 'Ministry of Man Power', '1234567', 17-Jan')]
the difference is that i need a [(row two), (row three), (row fouth)] . I do not want to display row one which is ['Name', ' Address', 'Telephone', 'Birthday']
