A start

Hello everyone! Firstly, Riya has done a wonderful job at making the blog. Makes all our work much easier, saves a lot of our time, which we are already pressing for. Now, 10th june seems quite an ordeal with the kind of material we have at hand. It definitely means loads and loads of effort, many sleepless nights and all that!



Anyways, we had our first official meeting today, the content, research and lay-out teams. We've decided upon a few things. Firstly, the content team drew up a list of topics on which the research team has to start working. For convenience, I thought that should go here for further reference:
