Awesome! Join in!

And it doesnt help that I am doing my damnedest best to keep away from HJW. Too far to join at short notice :(

Well, will you come down if we give you a day's notice? We can plan in advance.

Hey! Swanand gave me a call in the evening and we are planning to meet up tomorrow at around 12:30 PM. If possible for you, can you also come along with him? Would be nice to meet up as many petrol heads as possible!

Sounds good to me. I will take a lift with one of the daily commuters and take the shuttle back to my location. I will try to find something logistical that requires my presence there for only part of the day
Though if I am assigned to a project there, then you may end up seeing/ hearing more from me.

Better see if you can get in by other means during the second half of the day and shuttle back with us. We generally meet up in the 2nd half only, thats when most people are free. I'll be traveling till Kharadi, so guess I can drop you off to most parts of the city. If its towards the Karve road side, still we can manage easily. How does this sound?

So you are hell bent on getting me to join that evening madness?! Would be interesting in a 'survivor' sort of way I guess. Have we thunk a date yet or still TBD?

heh.

Guess I got to share part of the blame. The DLF chai-tapri meet plan just got converted to a bigger event. Still we would like to call it a tapri meet

Others planning the Pavana dam / Kalyani nagar meet(s), please keep the plan on. Nothing changes. This post of mine is just a small detour for the month of January.

Finally the plan seems to be made. Or atleast for the being.

Date : 20th Jan
Venue : Soundarya Garden Restaurant, Hinjewadi (Just before we turn for the Pune-Bangalore highway)
Timings : Anytime after 6 (still WIP)

So far the confirmed list seems to be
me
Maulik (@scofield)
Swanand
Gautam (@mikon)
Anoop (@noopster)
@selfdrive

Anish (tentative)
@ObsessedByFIAT (tentative)
@monaroCV8 (tentative)

Bala, this meet is being setup for your "visit" to Hinjewadi. If you want, we'll drop in a chauffered service to show the "beauty" of the Hinjewadi areas


Jokes apart, do check if you can be picked up by mikon or anyone else coming from the city. For the return, one of us will drop you off.



Others, interested? Do join in.

Sounds good to me. I will ask if someone else is going there. If not might risk a bike ride there.
By the way, I remember noop, Swanand and maulik (or was it JD?) arguing about which company had more beauties. Are ye talking about them?!

^^ oh god no! This is a car forum!

At 6-8 on a friday evening, all you get to see is cars filled with people trying their level best to get out from this god-forsaken place.

Note from Mod : Guys, lets not go too off-topic and stick to meet discussion. Thanks for your cooperation.
