Hyderabad August 2008 meet.

[himanshugoswami]

Cooldude....heres a suggestion...while going in the evening, i suggest you tie up with Avi (Mobike 008) and while coming back, I will drop u since I have to go to Gachibowli.

thing is, since I will start from g'bowli at 615, I will be stuck in Madhapur traffic big time. So, I plan to avooid that and take the film nagar route. Hence will not be crossing lv Prasad.

Sorry guys, I won't be able to make it. I have been traveling like crazy off-late and on 18th I have to attend an official party in HICC.

Have fun people!

[Zappo]

Hmmm. OT but since you mentioned, where is this Wine Spot? I have most probably crossed this place many times but can not recollect where it exactly is. Everywhere else Tiger sells for minimum 70 bucks.

I'm assuming you're meaning "Leave no survivors!" and "Take no Prisoners!" cheers:

Exactly. But, If we don't remain sober, then we may end up being POW's ( Prisoner of War) and the camp would be the nearest PS ( Police Station)

Himanshu, as i mentioned, i may leave the campus early around 5:30pm and don't intend to take the KBR Park-> LV Prasad Route, thats messy big time.

I will be coming from Microsoft-> Mehdipatnam Road->Left towards Whisper Valley-> Right towards Road 12. Banjara Hills-> Left towards Cancer Hospital-> Head towards Road No.10 ( HSBC, Karvy Office Road)-> Take left towards Taj Krishna-> Right towards Khairtabad and Himayathnagar.

What a long road description story to say, i will be going home, freshen up and join the party!

Sorry Cooldude, please dont rely on me, i am quite un-reliable

Why don't you take a rick from LV Prasad to the venue, its hardly 3-4kms and Himanshu can drop you back home.

I request everyone to come by well before time We can't afford to waste a single minute as we only have 3 hours(7.30 to 10.30)

At tandoor it was a day long affair.

Himanshu - Which route are you planning on taking? Are you going to be taking the relatively new bypass road from Gachibowli that connects to the Outer Ring Road? In that case i will need to figure out where to meet you . Since i am in Hitec City (Raheja Mind Space) i could also come towards Gachibowli and park my ride there someplace and then hook up with you.

[himanshugoswami]

Amit, dont worry, I will pick you up from Axis bank/NIFT at 620, irrespective of teh route

Will call again today and confirm.

@himanshu Also i wanted to make sure that you would be going back the same way.

Any other member can offer me a ride from the ibp petrol bunk on sri nagar colony road would make it extremely convenient as i would have to walk from there to the main road otherwise. If not possible no issues i will either walk or take a rick to the main road.

I suggest you call the manager at the number I have posted. I'd had a personal chat with him last night. I do remember that he said that there would be only one sizzler, and other items would be charged as per menu.
Perhaps he meant 'served' as per menu, instead of 'charged' as per menu.
Please do call him up.

If i am right, a sizzler would be more than enough for a person as a starter. "ek aadmi kitna khayega?"
We will be having main course also!!

Sizzler is supposed to be main course.
Starters i will enquire about after 7 30 as i can directly speak to the restaurant in question. (clantro)

[vnabhi]

I just spoke to Gulati and he confirmed that the offer was for one sizzler per head and unlimited drinks only. There are no starters.

I just got of the phone with clantro (spoke to the maitre d) and he said it was including starters.

@vnabhi who did you speak to. This is damn irritating getting conflicting news from the same hotel

[kkr2k2]

Its Thursday evening and the venue not yet decided!!!

Never mind, since I have the numbers of all the folks who are coming to the meet, i can inform them any time.

To add more kunfusion:

How about the Ohri's - I just got to know that the chief chef of ohri's stays in our building. I will contact him and let you all know. ..... let the kunfusion kuntinue.
