hi,

A lot of the group are going to miss the lunch..about 40 of us from
Bombay and Pune are getting together this saturday....

The fact is we will miss all of you who are missing the meet. I am
sure we will spend more time talking and enquiring about people who
wont be there......

And why are they not there...well many reasons. I think i will post
some of them here....hey seriously..we will miss you guys..this is
just a selection of some (real world) reasons, which is compelling
some alumni to miss the meet. (no offence)

1. Kids have exams...
2. Saturday, Sundays are the only off days i get...how can i ..
3. My husband is leaving on monday..i want to spend time..
4. The technician is coming to service the washing machine on sat....
5. I have meetings sweety....
6. Too much work...Client is coming
7. I am abroad on saturday...
8. I dont like wastefull lunches...
9. My inlaws want me to be with them
10. Are you serious....I dont know anyone

I am happy so many of us will get together, I am nervous too. Nervous
because i have been constantly revising nos. with the
hotel..(FARIYAS)...and i think we will runover the sponsor budget.
But there are ways out.

And i am thinking what next!!....one prpose would be to get everyone
on the egroup...75% of the 40 coming are not on the group......Lets
disscuss how do we become an effective community.

I shall post the final list in the morning..after a few people send in
their confirmations.
