Hey Karan--are you sure it is for FK, and not Katriya De Royale? I am asking because I read the big display an hour ago outside FK carefully, and it says it is for Katriya De Royale. It also says 'per match' with a sticker that was not there earlier. Quite misleading to put it in front of FK.

Guys, I'm back from my wanderings and it feels great to be back home. Phew! I have covered 3 continents and 8 cities in 25 days and am TIRED!!!! I badly need this meet to unwind and get back in sync with my Hydeez friends, a.k.a the CUG.

c ya all on friday, and in tru Hyd BHP style, i can see the venue confusion has started again . i am expecting that we will have the confusion on till at least 6 PM friday evening! So KArthik, dont worry about the venue change, re change, cange back and then one more change for good measure, you will soon get to go with the flow in this wonderful city......

Looks like he has brought some cool air with him to Hyd---there is a drop of around 5 degrees in temp today.

Mere Dosto, I am back to hot,dry hyderabad. I reached back home last night at 12AM after weathering some heavy downpour continously from Solapur to Hyderabad. Mahabaleshwar was just awesome and it was so chilly, i was taking a hot shower, so you can imagine. I reckon the night temp was around 14C and day was around 28C with cool breeze thought out the day. Enjoyed the trip thoroughly

Hillram, you missed it man and sorry for not being in touch since my damn phone was out of network the entire time i was in Mahabaleshwar.

@Ashish, it was great meeting you dude. I reckon i am the first TBHPian to visit Baramati and thanks for the first hand update to our folks !!!

@Raj, lets take the what car discussion out of this thread. Lets not mix-up things here.

@Brajesh bhai, thanks for clarifications enroute. Pleasure as always !!!

Now I gotta catch up with work and do look out for a short travelouge and with a few pictures in a couple of days.

EDIT: Now that i am back, let me do the negotiation with FK and let you all know whats the deal price. Btw, C'lantro is on renovation and we may have to sit in Orchids ( something like that) which is also open for family meaning, dunga nahi kar sakthe. Hang on there, let me figure something out soon.

arey mein bhi market mein hu bindaas ,tension not.

you were having strawberry ice cream on the mountains and i was roaming around in the bhatti heat out here.

OT: saturday went to bidar with family (the gurudwara visit was pending) ,nice and soothing place( for folks inclined towards visiting religious places)

had lunch at 'cafe ethnic' in zaherabad ,horrible ! total put off.

yesterday was doing the ramugiri/drivergiri with sister (she wanted to buy bangles from the famous 'laad bazaar' next to charminar.

its really funny ,its been 18 months in hyderabad and yesterday was the first time i saw charminar up close and personal.(the clock on it works man)lol

arun: its been poorly maintained though( remembering our conversation in suryalanka on the state of the famous monuments)

also havent been to the golkonda fort as yet.maybe we should plan an evening there (sound and light show)

p.s: hi tech city folks ,we need to do a quick lunch meet before our friday evening thingy.is wednesday ok with you all?

[mobike008]

Rajesh, seems like you have kept yourself really busy over the weekend. Good on you mate !!!

Had chatted for some time with juice presented by Mrs. Mobike.
Forgot to take my camera, took mobile pic but of poor quality.
Mrs. Mobike flashed camera for couple of pics.
After discussing about further route to Mahaby, he left toward Nira city at 1:45pm.

I missed seeing these posts, pretty good update there Ashish. Btw, i was driving very sedately and never crossed 140kmph

Yaar Arun, tum bhi na. I changed the brake pads only once and that too at 37K kms. But, i do agree, i have a heavy foot

You bet, despite Neera asking me to take the Satara route, i coaxed, convinced and pleaded her to take this route even if its longer was just to meet Ashish Pallod !!!
