Hi Manoj,
Great idea! Just want to point out that you’ve got conflicting dates. You’ve mentioned Tuesday May 9th and Wednesday May 9th. Either way, I look forward to reading some entries, maybe even throw one in the hat myself.

Good Catch, Thanks.
I have now extended the deadline to the end of next week. That would be great if you could throw in an entry yourself
