@Rahulk: A current question “closes” when a new question is posted. We try to post the new question by about 10AM IST every morning. However, accounting for timezones, meetings, traffic, crazy net connections and random outbursts of a social life, it does occasionally get delayed by an hour or two. So to be safe you can probably answer in the evenings/nights (if you’re in India)
