Well, good news at last. We have a venue for this month's meet and a big
one at that. I am sorry I cant help but announce the meeting time a
little earlier than one would like it to be; but considering the obscure
location of the venue, we need to get the meeting done by 6:30 PM the
latest. I would therefore request all members to be there on time, so
that we can start without delay. A lot of students+faculty from HIT are
also expected to attend the meet and become members, so I really think
that HIT hasnt been a bad choice, considering the constraints of
time/space and resources that we face.
Coming to the point, here is the agenda for the meet.

DIRECTIONS :
------------
Heritage Institute of Technology is at Anandapur, close to **Ruby
General Hospital** . Heritage will be providing us a couple of cars or
one of their buses to move from Ruby to HIT. If you wish to avoid the
trouble, then be there at Ruby's main gate at exactly 2:10 PM. If you
miss the cars/conveyance then you can take a rickshaw/auto to Heritage
Institute of Technology. To get to Ruby, here are a few pointers:-
>From Salt Lake / Kankurgachi: Bus nos S-19,GL-3
>From Ultadanga - Shuttle Cars to Ruby
>From Rash Behari - Auto to Bharat Sevashram and from there take an Auto

Anindya will be putting up a map soon. Keep looking.
