Thanks a Ton Virender ji, Godha ji and the entire EPTL organizing committee for making the tournament a memorable experience. Wonderful hospitality and amazing sportsmanship displayed during the entire tournament. Loved every moment. To tell you the truth, life seems very boring after coming back from Jaipur! Looking forward to playing again next time, hopefully in a team as well!

Many congratulations to Virender sir and Godha sir for a very well organised tournament, two years in a row. Now with 2 seasons, this has become a tradition. Thanks for all the hospitality, specially for medical care to my partner on the last day. Although it was a muscle strain, medical team and subir sir, not only took proper care but made my partner fit enough to complete the match. Congratulations once again to the winning team Majestic Lions and all the winners of different categories. Looking forward for next edition of this spectacular event for engineers.

Hearty congratulations Virendra, Ajinkya and other members of the EPTL team. It's been indeed a resounding success, all because of the untiring efforts put in by your team during the last many (I suppose so) months, obviously keeping aside some pressing personal commitments, for the time being. It's been flawless under the circumstances. Being the maiden event I can imagine there would be some suggestions coming from the stakeholders so that the next version becomes more robust and competitive. I'll also send a few suggestions soon . Thanks again. God bless you
