Hi all,
I was going to reply on the WB list but since this is on the Indic list
already, I'd thought I'd ask here. I won't be in Kolkata at this time but I
have a few lovely pics that I was planning to upload on commons. So do you
guys have a specific category in mind that I should tag them to or should I
just randomly tag whatever I feel is relevant?
