Dear nick H Sir,

As I mentioned earlier in some other thread, I saw you calling out to Sankaran sir from your car in front of the MA in Dec 2008... We'll try to meet in Dec 2009 @ Chennai - The Best Place to Be in December and January

Oh gosh... That was a bad morning! I had gone out early (I am a night bird, and not an early riser), to meet with some people, all of whom I missed, then I found I could have attended Sri Snkaran's lecdem instead of running around!

Any way. We made contact, if unknowingly, so it was not all bad!

And please... Thank you, but I am not a "sir" to anybody, quite apart from the fact that I believe in keeping the forum informal :).
