Thanks for the idea! We printed some handouts for that (having the details)

@all, So, we are continuing the mapping party today from 3 to 5pm (1
hr mapping and  1 hr editing session).

Anybody interested should join us. We'll be there at the Workout area
in the first floor of the NIMHANS Convention Center. Its' like we'll
be there throughout. Anyone can also join us in-between :)
