Have you emailed nbuch [at] gnlu [dot] ac [dot] in or ntrivedi [at] gnlu [dot] ac [dot] in?
Waiting
The rules say to send it at ipeassy [at] gnlu [dot] ac [dot] in but there must be a spelling mistake. It must be ipessay [at] gnlu [dot] ac [dot] in.
I have sent it to both. But not yet received confirmation of receipt of the essay.
