Hi, It seems the PL of that project is pretty sceptical about having a guy who's going for a week-long leave at the start itself, even though an architect from my team (who's already consulting for that project) tried to assure him that the guy (ie., me) can make up. I was told there is going to be a meeting this evening and I'll be called for that. As far as possible he (my architect teammate) told me that if that PL doesn't accept, let him try to look for another person, but it would only be good for them if he accepts having me after the leave. Fingers still crossed...
