Dear Dinesh ji, So happy to see you back. I am waiting to see the pictures from vof. It is unfortunate for me that I am not able to participate the vof trekking this time. As I had joined new job and had/have to take family related reasons, I am unable to take leave. I hope I would get a chance next year.
