[cr-india] CR Forum meeting?

[N.Ramakrishnan]

People, I do hope CR Forum meetings can be publicized well in advance 
and not just in passing or through the grapevine! :-) These are the 
opportunities we get to meet an compare notes on what's happening where 
and how - and it behooves us to publicize these meetings sufficiently in 
advance to enable all those who are interested and can attend to make it.
Are there any details, Sajan, on the when and where?
(Ideo) Ram

P.S. Perhaps. Ramnarayan, you can be Himal-Ram? LOL)
