At the risk of sounding uncool and breaking the usual email reply norms- I think we have diverged from the original goal- To have more women in the group and to encourage them to participate more often. (?)

Once again, apologies for not following the email etiquette. :) Bindu Upadhyay On Mon, Jun 8, 2015 at 8:46 PM, Nikhil Ketkar <nik...@indix.com> wrote: > I am new to ChennaiPy and new to Chennai but I think Chennai is already > safe for women (as compared to Delhi where I come from).
