While we can do all this, volunteers and where these activities are
going to take place is still not known.

There was a piece of paper on which people's names had been written
but nothing after that. Who has it and what's the status ?

Also nothing was concreticized as to which colleges are being
approached and who's talking to them ?

There also hasn't been any movement about the venue, Bhaskaracharya
Prathisthan or SICSR or somewhere else ?

Dexter had a suggestion (offline) of doing it in Wadia College. He
knows somebody there.

Is there possibility of having some banners or something as well ?

Let's get the ball rolling, Just 12 days left.
