Hi @RizwanaDesai,
unfortunately I don't see why it is not working for you, in any case, I am working with a friend to create a package of this humble gist in order to make it better and easier to use.

I will give a check on the problem you've reported, but you can do that too, since the code is all exposed here and there's no hidden magic being done. I would of course highly appreciate if you post here a possible solution you may find (in case you find a fix before me).

Sure @unnamedd .
