Thanks.

@Manas/Vishal/Kartik = Pls keep eye on mini Debconf's in India. If you
are in Mumbai or Pune city, I am sure many engineering students have
the Debian stickers printed during recent mini Debconf's.

As per my previous experiences, sometime we never receive the
merchandise/swags/stickers sent from abroad if sent by non tracking
postal service.
If sent by tracked courier/postal service, we need to pay custom duty
depending on declared amount.
If we calculate the custom duty + shipping charges, it is equal to
printing 4 t-shirts locally with Debian logo. :-)

Amey.
