Thank you so much AD for all your organising efforts and bringing us all together.

Now, bring on the Diwali meet! Am all game!

Thanks a lot Mayank and truly the turn out was really good and we actually got to meet some really good fellow bhpians in the process.

________________

To all,

The pre-diwali meet will be hosted on 12th October 2014 i.e Sunday in the morning itself. I shall be posting a new thread for it by September end to ensure everyone gets ample time to adjust their commitments properly.

Diwali is on 23rd October 2014, being a Thursday. I am sure people will be moving out from 18th itself i.e a Saturday and would return around 26th October. So that is the reason due to which I have planned the meet for 12th October 2014.

Thanks.

12th sounds great! Really thoughtful of you there AD. Would be eagerly waiting for the thread to come up and then we could all pour in some suggestions to make it a Food and Drive meet maybe. We all love food and cars, don't we!

And hopefully it'll see an even bigger level of participation and joy next time

Its better to put one in September too considering a lot of people missed this one. Sameer, Mohit, Me, Mayank, Keshav. Lets keep one the next month. Monthly meets are good ideas and will help us add more people to the meets!

Surely, the next meet will be even bigger and more fun! I have already started to work on it.

Utsav, I'll figure out something.

Thanks

It was a wonderful meet and everything was executed without a hitch - except for Saurabh's sandwich and the photo-shoot. But, there will always be a next time.

Thanks Akash for the initiative taken. All credit to you for this meet. You deserve another diet coke!

Arey Deepak yaar, You all are equally responsible for the gigantic success and awesome time at the meet yesterday. What happened to Saurabh's sandwich?

Diet Coke we both can have during the weekend! Will call you.

Thanks

Awesome meet people, and nice snaps, feeling really bad on missing out on this one, came back to Delhi today itself in the morning. Happy for you guys that the meet went along very well.

12th is an excellent idea, will give everyone amply time to adjust commitments, I am so sad I missed out on this one . God willing, I will surely attend the next meet.

[JASMEET MATTOO]

Great time spent with all you wonderful people. Also the choice of place was good. Nice food and centrally located.

Thanks Saurabh and Parikshit for the wonderful snaps. Appreciate Akash's effort in organizing the meet and all the members who could take time out and participate.

Cheers!

Hmm... if you insist, Akash, but then that'll be the reason for me to miss that meet too.

Thanks for the heads-up though PM Akash. Next time, do remember to schedule a meet early morning (like 7:30 AM ) or post-lunch on a Sunday (or after 8 pm on any other day)!

Instead of Paneer Tikka Sandwich he served me Chicken Tikka Sandwich which I almost put into my mouth then realized that its non-veg where as I am vegetarian . Upon calling the manager he first denied that non-veg was served to me but when I insisted he accepted and came with Paneer Tikka Sandwich.

I feel that they we under pressure as they were serving breakfast to 27 members and every one ordered something different that too mix of veg and non-veg. I feel restaurants offering both veg and non-veg food should be more careful while delivering orders.

It was great interacting with all you wonderful people and hope to repeat the experience sooner than later.

ad3952n, the evidence is in my phone but for some reason it is refusing to part with the same. Will resort to 3rd degree and will post asap.

Sir it was a pleasure meeting you and really felt nice that you could spare time for us. As for the evidence, don't use any 3rd degree. Just use USB cable and attach it via Tbhp photo upload system.

And certainly, with support of all of you, We shall organize more such meets and have a great time. The experience will definitely be repeated. You have my word on that.

Oh Haan, you told me that. You are right, they were shocked to see such a big gathering all together. Never in their dreams they would have thought about it. Rest assured Saurabh, next time we will definitely sort this type of issues.

Shom Sir, come on! As of now timing is not given. Please adjust a bit to our wishes sir. I will make sure you won't miss out next one.

Thanks Jasmeet, You are too equally responsible for the meet's success yesterday. Your arrival to the venue even before us clearly showed how excited you were. Respect to all!

OT: Yaar, this Dwarka signal story of old lady in White! It's true? I forgot to ask you yesterday.

Don't worry, you will be there in our next meet. Thanks a lot for writing in. We had a couple of new bhpians in the meet yesterday who really liked the whole idea of the tbhp meet.

Dervesh, 12th October wali meet will be definitely a notch higher than this one for sure and I am counting on my whole team for that. You too shall be an important part of it.

Do prepare a newbie speech for yourself in the mean time. Next time there will be a intro round too.

Thanks.

It was a wonderful experience meeting so many bhpians. Lovely weather, great breakfast and awesome company. A truly memorable experience

A big thank you AD sir for organizing the meet and to all members who came. Also thanks SS, Parikshit and V&V for the great pics.

And AD sir, about making Saurabh a member, why do you want to add an additional topic of argument between two lawyers at home. As it is we have enough to argue about :P Also regarding the importance of team-bhp and wives thread, I am seriously considering to start a team-bhp and husbands thread.

Looking forward to more such meets in the future

Really nice and motivating words for us Mandy ji. The weather added to the beauty of the gathering for sure.

A collective success is actually the right term for our meet yesterday.

And AD sir, about making Saurabh a member, why do you want to add an additional topic of argument between two lawyers at home. As it is we have enough to argue about :P

I want him to consider my request simply because there should be a place to vent out the hidden sentiments and expressions which are not possible to be expressed in-front of the better half.

Saurabh too shall say, "My Lord, I am hereby stating my side of the story here" Lol!

Also regarding the importance of team-bhp and wives thread, I am seriously considering to start a team-bhp and husbands thread.

LMAO! That is one thing that I am going to start. Have been thinking on it for quite sometime. A guy who often goes through the fire and walks on hot ashes for his wife/ special one can understand husbands better and can empathize with them.

As you are a patenting lawyer (as i remember), I'll share this topic first! ROFL!

Looking forward to more such meets in the future

Certainly, Pre Diwali meet is in the planning already. Will keep you informed.

Thanks
