Dear Abhishek,

gr8 mail from your side. I have downloaded all your recommended videos.

I have the following plan:

1. 2 Hrs of Presentation each day
2. 2 Hrs of Video/Documentary Show
3. 2 Hrs of Hands on Practical

4. 1 Hr of Launch
5. 20 Min Tea Break
6. 40 Min Break

The program will start at 10:00 A.M in the morning and end at 6:00 in 
the evening.

And It would be great if you could join us. I hope if it is feasible 
please also come by with some presentations. I will appreciate that. And 
can we call someone from neighboring countries too.

Wishes,

Tushar
