I guess I would like some place some where in south of bby, since i stay there. but
for convinience it would be prefered somewhere in mids of bby city. like maybe dadar.
I dont even know where that HBCSE is, on askming chandu io figured out its somewhere
pretty much in the subburbs. i guess thats prety far. and if i do make it it will be
my first meeting attendance.,
cheers,
akshay.
