However, I wouldn't be able to come on this Sunday as I have a previous engagement (ACM ICPC Regional Contest Prelim from 1pm to 5pm). Again students have gone home for Diwali holidays and no one would come if the meeting is on Sunday :). I request that you reschedule the meeting to next week if possible (but not any later, as exams are starting from 26th). I have talked to Aditya. He can make it to the meeting and give the presentation this Sunday, if it is not rescheduled.
