[Dtb-talk] DTB Here and There

[Rakesh Chand]

Appreciate, the wonderful offer, which seems very much valuable.


Many thanx, have a great week ahead. We've just gone through a cyclone which 
was fairly devastating.


Hope PWD's r safe & sound. Low line areas have a flooding warning.


It was one of those days! Trust you're goin through a great day!
