Thanks, Tripta. It was really enjoyable. We had to leave a bit early but in 
the way, sir remembered we had to talk to you about our magazine. Why dont 
you send a report on TML in hindi which we can publish in the issue proposed 
for December. Say, have you people installed TeXlive7.0 - its pretty huge, 
the full installation was around 550 MB.

ciao,
Amitabh
