I know its been more than 4 days since the mega meet, but as they say "DER AAYE DURUST AAYE!"
First and foremost a big thanks to throttleking for initiating this meet and what a meet it turned out to be!
The initial plan was to drive with Khoj and Gostel to Sunny's. Due to the heavy rains, I was stuck at Matunga when I receive a call from Genesis. After some vacillating at his end, he finally decides to join us. Pick him from his Chembur residence and head out to Vashi to pick up Khoj and then Khargar to pick up Gostel sir. Thanks guys for the wonderful company all the way to and from Sunny's! It was a great drive through some wonderful weather.
Reached Sunny Da Dhaba at exactly 7.30pm to be greeted by the one and only ASHISHPALLOD. Great meeting you after a long time sir.
The only other team-bhpian there at that time was mikon. Was nice meeting you. Sorry could not catch up with you later.
Decided to park ourselves on a table and ordered a cup of tea to Khoj's exacting specifications. (not sure whether the waiter understood all that was asked for, but the tea was good nonetheless!) By the time we were through with the tea, BHPians started pouring in!
Guys it was great meeting all of you, in no particular order:-
anilisanil, 1self, noopster, swanand, speed-freak, vicky7799, ACM, Guderain, no_enthu_da, Tejas, paras211, Viper, ExtremePower, SuperSelect, Issigonis, The Saint (lovely ice and mods!), DOT, selfdrive, FlyingSpur, Stratos, pdev29, MX6 (surprise surprise!) with family, mikon, throttleking, F150, Rehaan, and many others whose names/ handles I can't recollect.
Special thanks once again to Gostel ji, Khoj and Genesis for the company to and fro.
Awesome food and even greater company, what more can one ask for on Saturday evening.
@ Gostelji, pray why am I BoleroDa?
@ MX6, was pissed off with you for refusing to join us, but you are forgiven since you took your family on a drive and still managed to make it to the meet. And by the way, I have no intention of turning into a MFH. (why are you intent on driving me out of this country?)
@ Issigonis and SuperSelect, sorry for pulling your leg regarding the train and auto journey! We had nothing better to do, while being stuck in traffic on the E-Way!
@ Tejas, thanks for replenishing my cig stock!
@ Rehaan, thanks a ton for the stickers buddy.
@ Stratos, one of these days, I will be joining you on your photo shoots!
@ GTO, finally could put a face to the handle! Sorry we could not catch up.
@ f1fan, IQBAL VEERJI, HVKumar, Sudarshan, Scrooze, Dippy, you all were sorely missed at the meet! Would have been great catching up with you.
@ no_enthu_da, your handle doesn't justify your enthusiasm!
@AP saheb, was great meeting you again. By the way I reached home at 3.30am. too! (Only difference is that I drove to Bombay and you drove all the way to Baramati!)
@ Genesis and Khoj, thanks for guiding me out of that traffic jam on the E-Way!
@ throttleking, thanks once again for initiating this
MEGA MEET.
All in all a wonderful meet and I second MX6's proposal of having a withdrawal symptoms meet sometime soon!
