Dear Srijith:

Economic Times (http://www.economictimes.com) of
Tuesday, 08 May, has a front page story on the MEA
cracking by GForce. It is written by Indrani Bagchi
who is the wife of Pramit Pal Chaudhuri. She has
quoted you and India Cracked extensively, especially
your interview with GForce.

Pramit Pal Chaudhri also has carried a front page
story on this in the Hindustan Times of Tuesday, 08
May. (http://www.hindustantimes.com)
