Hi Gaurav,

You do not need to use rawset.  The index tag method is only called when a 
table get event happens.

Two more things:
When using using rawset, the syntax is rawset(A,'new', x).
The colon is only used when defining or calling a function so the syntax 
A:new without any paranthesis after it is invalid.
