    Everyone is getting through same phase.. 🙂 I miss discussion because things don’t penetrate in mind until and unless discussed with peers.. but schedule is so hectic to incorporate things.. Have you subscribed MGP?

  13. One request to @forumias-7f07ca326ce76cdde680e4b3d568bce8:disqus for today’s questions. If you can give synopsis of these question within 200 words then it will be very helpful to understand how to write within word limit.
    As today’s questions demand lot of points in the answers and how to summarise them in best possible manner in 200 words is the difficult task…:)
    Thank you…:)
