Dear @Chaitanya D 

I withdrew my RSVP due to unexpected afternoon commitment today . Have fun guys 🙏😉

Looks like we will witness the rising of the crescent moon announcing Ramadan commencement during our drive. I request any experienced members to point out the rise of of the crescent moon and stop the convoy to pay our respects to the age old fool proof method of sighting the moon for Ramadan.
