A few minutes later , we got a call from the Samsung India guy wire who say that our flight on the 6th have been cancelled , and that they ’re add us back on the 1st rather . But this is only if , and only if , we agreed to wear atleast the samsung mark shirt at the unpacked event , and not blog about any of this incident .
