He will be sending a list of those who have not contacted him , to be posted in theBlog , in the hope that someone one will help him to get in touch with him.

4 We have not had any confirmation from Drug Firms about sponsorships other than Ranbaxy who has given Rs 10000/. Dr Jayakuru will attempt to get in touch with the Drug Firms we have already written to.
5 .The main items of expenditure are the Band for the Gala dinner, printing of the souvenir paying the DJ at the Peduru party .
6 The cost of the Group Photograph will be notified later and will have to be met by each individual.
7. There is a suggestion to charge a nominal fee for the event as Registration Fee. (This is besides booking in at the Hotel). .We will have a Registration desk anyway to hand over the souvenir, programme etc.
8. Peduru party will be complete with an orchestra playing the Serpina, Thabla & the flute. A suggestion has been made to have them for the first hour or so , so as to appease those who love the good old classicals like “Dakkoth Padmawathie “etc. This will be followed by the DJ for the rest of the evening.
