Kartik,

I am going to let you manage this thread. Let me know, if you need help in any way. You know how to get hold of me.

After we have made some progress, I will remove all these black squiggly texts. You know the etiquettes of our picture only threads here.

One doesn't invest in taking a picture like this (costs a lot), unless one is falling in love! IAF is falling in love with Tejas!
