@narendra- (and also list.. Esp Gaurav us it, parin , nipun, sonu and others):
Your (narendra) idea about 2-3 day high budget national conference is great - but even without the large scale and high budget we can (and should) do something for non beginner level of people which has broad participation and good tech level. That's the point I was making - which i felt narendra missed. What say ?
