This sounds great.... but just keep in mind that I will be travelling from Chandigarh for this meeting... not available this weekend, unless it is on a Sunday....
Being based out of Chandigarh imposes the following other constraints : - Can reach delhi railway only by 10:30 am by shatabdi. So all will need to schedule it accordingly. Would request you all for the same. - Will need to catch the evening train back which is at 5:15pm. - the plan to meet should not be tentative and may be we can discuss the agenda on this forum or offline. thanks in advance...
