@ Mash
Respected Mash...First and foremost,my sincere apologies to Rakesh and yourself,for the delay in receiving invitations....
It is with utmost regret that I am having to make the rest of this post, but I consider it only proper to do so...
I received Rakesh's mail id on the 11th of the month,and on that day itself i had sent an invite to his id..rakeshmkrishnan@yahoo.co.in...
Why the invitation did not reach him, or if it did, why it wasnt used, I dont know...but it was sent...period.
This is the link to a screenshot that shows the page with the invitation....
