P.S.- It was a wonderful meeting and the members forgot all their excuses to rise to the occasion.

Although there was an area level meeting happening at the same time, most of the members couldn’t participate in person.

But in spirit they were with those who represented Talkmagicians at the area level joint meeting.

Specially TM Harry and TM Srivatsan. Thanks.
