    Writing a comment here, telling about the event, imortance of it and most importantly wishing the organisers, will develop a strange irritating feeling of not being part of the organisation/organisers!!! because i still feel i was present with them, throughout of it.

    So no comments on that!!!
    I just want to say i missed you guys.. (only physical absence!) :roll: Truly... Love you...
