@Badar

Wsalam Badar bhai, thanks and welcome to Ideas Hut :) The credit for the right URLs goes to Google :P I was first confirming all the urls using google and then blogging :) The only url that I had mentioned incorrectly was of blogger.com and that was a typo..fixed it :)

@Imran Hussain

Yes did it almost alone but when I had to go to get my comments about the event recorded for BusinessPlus, then one of my friends Lubz kept live blogging :)

@Asma

Even hadnâ€™t started on 2:23 :P

Farihaa jee you simply rock seriously.

I was busy during the event so couldn’t join in the live conversation, but read the transcript of the live coverage and it was brilliant.

Never seen a better observer and writer :)

It was also great to meet you. Looking forward to more :D

Fariha! Wow!! I was just going through the “transcript”! Very VERY well done! Excellent! I will be making the videos available which we grabbed from the web cams up in their different sessions, so anyone wishing to get the full, passive stream, can do so.

We DID make everyone applaud for Jehan Ara even though she was out of the country at the time, but I noticed her comment here so I’m so glad that she could watch it!

Thanks again!
