Hi Barkha, Hi Folks,

 

Great !!! So nice of you to stop by to comment even when u cant make it this time. Thank you !! :)

 

Its an honour to have the first member of DBC with us, ready to participate in events like this. Yes sure. We can have a meet after 22nd May, 08. Do let us know when you are back.

 

Btw, Just to update you, this our second meet this year. The first one was held on April 6th, 2008 in JNU. So if the good response continues we can infact take it more actively (say, we have it once a month or something like that). What is your take on this ? Folks ?

 

Do come up with suggestions as to what more can be done to make it even more interesting.

 

Cheers .. Take care.
