Well i am coming tp AIPGM for sure ...already booked my tickets ....and Mumbaikars ka kya hai....head quarter pahunch jana Admin khud hi kuchh bandobast karega:P
And I meant here that there are few activities like discussions etc which can only be done locally i.e. within city teams only and then there are requirements like resource sharing, getting information for right material and all....which can be done through net also i.e. across city teams too, so please lets discuss on all of these this weekend in our respective city meets
And Btw, CAT ka (allegedly ambiguous) paper banane mein mera koi haath nahin hai ............and just check my my last few posts and you won't need to welcome me back on forum......only welcome back to FRM thread will do:P

Regards,
Andy

Is FRM Quant heavy?? I am a B.COM grad and didn't had Maths in my 10+2 and graduation. I don't like Maths much...
