    It is not a big rocket science and is a very common thing in India. People loiter around everywhere flirting with the friends of opposite sex in the cafeteria and restaurants till the 23rd hour and then rush up to make some fancy things trading off quality.

        That should be excellent. Can you start a new thread either in Lounge itself or in Get-To-Gethers forum so that people can consider adding themselves?

                  Sooner we initiate the thread is better since last time we had a very short note and hence the CP Meet message could reach only to a few people. And we missed Satips also. :)

                          When people stop wasting my time with trivial problems that they could solve for themselves if they took at least 1 millisecond to do some research then, yes, I will help them. Also, like many of my esteemed counterparts here, I can multitask so I can help people and then switch to a different window and post something in the lounge. Finally, let me check the label on the inside of my shirt; nope I don't work for you - this is a volunteer based site, so I can choose to spend my time here wherever I like.

                          Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                            So the choices are wasting time in the lounge, or helping people like you? Boy, that's a tough one.

                                I am not wasting time. I am here, because all our Indian friends post programming questions (coding doubts or whatever you call it) here in the lounge. :rolleyes:
