Last minute details

Dear Friends
Queries are still coming in, so here are some clarifications:

Some of our delegates from abroad are staying at Swagath Hotel where
they have made bookings.

Delegates from India will stay at the OUCIP Guest House. OUCIP was
formerly the ASRC and it is also the conference venue.

From the airport you take a cab to the venue. There is also public
transport available.

If you come by train you are advised to get off at Secunderabad stn.
From the Rly Stn you need to take an auto for Osmania campus.

Hyderabad is warm and sultry these days. No need for woollens.

A suggestion: If there are creative writers in our midst why dont you
bring your poem / short story along. If we can find some time and
space in the evening it would be nice to have a reading session.

Another point: anyone bringing some music along on CD or pen drive?
Think you could shake a leg one evening?

There have been a LOT of changes since I circulated the program
outline last. The final schedule will be circulated only at the
conference now.

See you in Hyderabad. Wish you all safe journeys!
