There was only one more person who was interested and we had already
met, so this meeting was cancelled. Either no one in Delhi care enough
about this issue or more likely everyone is busy with other important
things.

Hopefully the response is better in Mumbai.

There was some interest in Bangalore and I hope they organize a
meeting soon and plan local activities.
