Ok...Its time we got this thread moving...
We have 15 guys who have expressed interest in this thread and the first post has the necessary details..Pls pm me if there are any corrections...
Ideally we should be starting our GD/PI preps this weekend -19,20...However TIME has its Achiever's Workshop for IIM Call-getters in Chennai on both these days...I presume all call-getters would be headed there ...The timings have not been yet mentioned but we could expect it to be for the greater part of the day..
If we look at weekends alone, we would end up with 26-27th as the week after that - Feb 2-3rd would be IMS Achiever's Workshop...
Max participation of guys - with many working - would be on weekends i assume...
Please give your suggestions as to how we could move further on from here...Most imp factor is also Rajat's availability ...We need him for the mock PI...

My suggestion is can we start tomorrow, if you guys are not busy with pongal celebrations. Tomorrow must surely be a holiday for all, and we dont have loads of time at hand either. If puys willing, I am game .Otherwise we can schedule it for the next comfortable weekend
