hi Rahul, I was bit busy hence could not reply to the mails you had sent. sorry for the delay though. my question is that in the first mail that you had sent, what are we to do with the Mail IDs which you have provided? the other concern is that some of the mail IDs which you have provided appears to be in different language than English. is it my screen reader reading like this? I am bit confused. it would be better if we talk once and do the needful for the betterment.
