Hello guys, how are you all?
I was too busy in Malaysia, to leave a message for every one.

I would like to thank, Nov uncle, Groucho uncle, Rajraj uncle Suvai, Dev, Lakme, Lathz,
Aarthii, Selviem, Rose, Gulabjamun, NM, Nithisri, P. S brother, and everyone who interacted with me.
You all made my short stay a memorable one.
I hope I full filled Kugan's wishes, well.

Till then goodbye and take care everyone.
Bye guys. Meerra
