Hey,

First thing, thanks to all of the seniors once again for taking time off and arranging things for all of us when we first arrived to this alien land. The organizers now have this plan of arranging for a party for all the guys who helped us out.

Let me tell you my experience, there's this guy Pandu Ranga who picked me up from the airport, he isn't related to the univ of utah in any way. He just did it for the ISA. mind u, he works here, and took a couple of hours off just to pick me up. Same is the case with all the seniors who took time off their schedules (Now we all know how hectic it is here to take off 2 hours at a stretch - more so, for someone who don't know). - They did for the ISA.. and the least they deserve is respect from you.. And all the organizers expected from us is a $10 deposit.


Perhaps all of this seems like me over exaggerating things, but i really don't care. You may argue that a $10 deposit is no means to honor them.. but that i think is the only way now u can show that u are atleast bothered to thank them.

Please go out and deposit the money in case you haven't done it.. The account number for the ISA account at the credit union bank is 1701441. You can direct the money through ISA members in case you have troubles doing the online transfer. The list of ISA members  is here.

Regards,

Sanjay Devnani.

I am perplexed that many of us didn't do it. Well, it might be a simple case of overlooking things. Like Sanjay said, they took their time off....... then why don't we take some time off from our busy life and give them the honor they deserve? Its an absolute vituperation of the system we believe in and the system that helped us, if we don't do it.
All the money we donate would be used at bollywood night to honor them. Hence have no doubt about it. Please do donate.

If you have a credit union account its a matter of 5 min ka online transfer.

Thank you. Have a good day.
