I write this in a very apologetic tone, I spent most of my day just
dealing with my health as stray coughs have now turned into a irritating
case of a cold so I could only now slowly grovel my way to my desk and
check my email, as I write it, it is nearly 24 hours (IST) left for
the campaining period, and as far as I understand we have no scheduled
interviews for the last day, I am not really sure what we should do?
I apologies for not having helped organise this better,
dizzy
