Dear Ananth, Thank you so much for the directions and information, I will get to work on them, possibly with help from Sun.
The offer for roses was directed at girls, and Ananth sounds like a boy's name. I can come to Bangalore to buy you an ice cream, in one of those new ice cream parlours, are you in Bangalore ? The offer is symbolic, I am aware that technical opinion far outweigh rewards, even if offered in substantial sums of money. I am in Erode, may come down to Bangalore in about a week's time.. Would you leave me your mobile number for me to call ?
