Regrets

 * 1) — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 15:59, 30 December 2010 (UTC) Everytime Jayanta sends me the invite, it really pains me to put my name in the regrets column. I don't stay in Calcutta anymore, shifted base to Bangalore. This really sucks man that I can't attend a WP get together at my own beloved city. I hope I can make it someday.
 * 2) – Deb ‖ Poke • EditList ‖ 06:22, 4 January 2011 (UTC) Why is it behaving like gecho-dada? I was there & all the fun was here at Bangalore, now finally it's at Kolkata & I can't attend! Wouldn't Saraswati Puja have been a better time? :-| (bytheway, the link in Ten:Kolkata leads to WP:MKK1 instead of this page.)
