Hi @Tushar_Suradkar sir Thank you so much for your appreciation 

  Since I am writing a Recap for the first time “Many things, such as gift sharing and the refreshment stage, have been left in the writing.” 

[Tushar_Suradkar]

No worries, dear @Raj_Tayade 

You have already covered so much stuff during the meetup and in the recap, a few things left out are OK 👍

You can edit the post and add those points.

I am including those points in my recap.

Also please address me a Bhau or Dada and not Sir 😊 we are buddies.
