Hi Adam, Last week was hectic with few

heavy duty deliveries. How does this week

look like?

Hi Chief, Very Good morning. Actually this week’s not that

hectic. We just have one major presentation to roll out. I guess

we can chill a bit

Monday, 15th June 2009. Around 8:25AM. The 2407! Team meet up at their

pantry for an early morning coffee

mhmm. Don’t worry I’ll load it up this week

too.

oops. He is thinking. I am

sure he is going to pull a quick

one NOW

I think the contest closes on 15-June. That’s tonight. No.

Actually tomorrow noon Indian time

Events were warming up …

Bingo !!!

What’s the deal with that SlideShare Contest

thing. Is it over?

SURE CHIEF

Should we give it a shot. It will be thrilling to beat the 24hour deadline. You guys
