Mostly I won't come. Had a fall this morning. Final decision after doc visit.

I can understand. See if you can just drop by briefly.

What happened? I hope you are all right. Stay safe buddy.

Sorry for the back-to-back posts but I almost forgot to mention that after everyone disbursed after the last mini-meet, I was stuck with spending the night out till public transport resumed service the next morning. So, Raghav decided to go on a drive and accompany me back to Uran. After a quick tank-up and a couple of missed exits, we zombie-drove our way to Uran.

Drove straight to the beach. That's Colaba causeway in the wee hours of the morning.

There's something quite enigmatic about the moon.

The moon finally set telling us to call it a day (That and the ONGC security shoo'ing us off!)

It was bloody cold and both of us were longing for a cuppa n' smoke. So imagine our dismay when we couldn't find a single hotel/chaiwalla/tapri open at that hour. It was 6am and while we managed to have some namesake tea, we had to hunt all the way from Uran to Belapur station for a smoke. This was the only inconvenience for an otherwise memorable drive. Thanks a lot for staying back and dropping me Raghav.

Hi SDP,
I would like to join in. But is there parking available around Cafe Mondegar? Since many would be coming in by car so parking space would be necessity.

I would suggest the following:
1. Do keep as early as possible, which helps in empty roads and much more driving pleasure.
2. Cafe Mondegar menu sure does looks expensive. Better if there is a place which serves good VFM meal.

Turbo_Torq · 28th December 2013, 21:27

So, is the venue and time confirmed for tomorrow?

@el lobo - I'd love to meet you and your Fiesta!

Sunilb · 28th December 2013, 21:40

Pardon me... but where is this cafe

Havent been on a meet for quiet long since I stay abroad. Would plan to join along!

Guys, Just an update for all that this meet stands CANCELLED due to some unavoidable exigencies.

Apologies for last minute cancellation. Keep watching this space for rescheduled program for next week.

Thanks!

FlyingSpur · 28th December 2013, 23:21

Well, meet or not, I'm riding to town tomorrow. Any ideas for a good breakfast place around Colaba at 8:00 am?

Turbo_Torq · 28th December 2013, 23:40

Thanks for the update, Rohit. It's a bit disheartening but sometimes other things take priority.
