Ecstatic to be on this forum !!!!!!

manas.mys · 30th March 2011, 15:56

Hello All,
It feels great to be a part of this super forum.
I have been following this forum for quite some time now and it has helped me in my quest for a new car for the family and also on information for some of my trips.
Hence, i would like to start my journey on team-bhp by thanking everybody for their inputs.

I learnt to drive a car in a M-800 which was the only family car then. Man, that car is amazing. Anyway, its been quite a journey from our first M-800 to the Baleno and the Civic (less than a month old) now.

I work for a huge IT consulting firm and am into CAD customization.

My interests are -
cars(no points for guessing this one),
music(anykind as long as it does not give me a headache),
driving to a large extent calms me down,
just started tennis again(no clue how long this will last).

And ofcourse, how can i forget t-bhp.

Looking forward to an exciting run on this forum. Thanks again you guys,

Cheers,
Manas

Hello Manas !

Welcome Aboard !

Nice to know that you hail from Mysore and my home town as well. Travelling b/w BLR and MYS has been a great stress buster for me in the late nights.

Hope to catch up soon in some BHP Meet.

Do dwell by the rules section to have a great stay.

Edit: I too work for an CAD Re-seller as a technical Manager. PM me your contact details.

Cheers !
Otomobil

I enjoyed the warm welcome !!! Thanks again.

Welcome on board dude. Happy to see you here !!!

manas.mys · 31st March 2011, 18:06

Thank you ashoka. I am still very eager to see your new ride !!

gypsyFreak · 31st March 2011, 18:39

Welcome Manas.

Where are you based from Mysore/Bangalore..?

Any chance you are in Infy Mysore?

manas.mys · 31st March 2011, 21:04

Thank you gypsyfreak !

No, though i was brought up in Mysore entirely, i am based out of Bangalore now as i work here and i am not in Infy Mysore either.

But i absolutely need to be in Mysore every weekend to remain in the limits of sanity

figo_united · 1st April 2011, 14:55

Welcome to the forum Manas. Hope you have a great time here.
I also am from mysore and currently working at Bangalore.
I too drive down to Mysore every friday

I used to be a regular on the chamundi express till my figo arrived! how do you commute to mysore every week?
btw, TGIF

nitin.rai · 1st April 2011, 15:34

Welcome aboard dude and wishing you a lot of namma bengaluru - mysore runs in your civic & of course stops at kamath's

manas.mys · 1st April 2011, 15:48

Thanks a ton figo_united and Nitin !!!!
Yeah, stops at Kamath is a must. I even know that guy pretty well now.

More often than not, i drive down in the night on fridays. Otherwise, i rely on our very own Airavath....

Does these posts count for the 25 posts to be able to become a bhpian from a newbie ? 'cause i am very eager to get in touch with everybody on t-bhp who commute between Bangalore and Mysore to share each and every experience. The drives in the night are awesome

Anyway, if by chance you see a flying silver Baleno on that road, in all probability, its me

.... Hmmm... to come to think of it, in the days to come i am sure i'll be allowed (by Dad) to touch the new vehicle. So again, if you see a brand new black Honda Civic flying on that road, that would be me as well.

I guess the next logical step is T-Bhp stickers for these two babies.

What colour is your figo ? And what time do you generally leave Bangalore ? Will try to spot your car.

Looking forward to meet you guys !!!!

Cheers,
Manas

P.S. I've got FFE down on my Baleno, so you really should not miss the noise (music).

nanduchitnis · 1st April 2011, 17:46

Welcome and have a rocking time on Team Bhp. Write your review of the Honda Civic and a few travel stories!

I usually stop at Kadamba these days. They make yummy puLiyogare and pongal, and super coffee too

Mine is a Red titanium. with a "Manchester United Fan On Board" tag on the rear windsheild! Will be getting the t-bhp sticker soon too!
I usually start from banashankari around 6. Usually take the uttrahalli route.

manas.mys · 5th April 2011, 17:46

Hey Figo_United, i generally leave C.V.Raman Nagar(Home) at around 9 PM so you would have reached by the time i start. I do this because, there was this one time when i left Whitefield(Work) at around 6 PM and I was at Rajarajeshwari nagar at 8.30 PM.

From then on, its been good drives in the night for me. Hope to catch you with your Red ride sometime !!!!

That's exactly Why I escape by 5 on fridays

[from marathalli]
Max by 6:30, I'd have crossed kengeri, after a quick stop at home in banashankari.
