| ![]() There are quite a few folks who either stay or work in the Andheri-SEEPZ-Powai-Godrej(Vikroli) belt. Hiranandani Powai itself is a hotbed of Team-BHPians. Quite a few PMs get exchanged regularly, but meeting in person does not happen. So thought of starting a fortnightly (once every 2 weeks) mini-meet as follows: Place: Outside Hiranandani SEZ or any other place nearby where we can park 7-8 cars Frequency: Every alternate Friday. First meet 21st June 2013. Time: 6pm Agenda: Socialize. Possibly have a coffee/cutting nearby. Discuss cars and whatever else that comes to mind. Completely open to suggestions/recommendations for place, frequency, time. Here's a list of Team-BHPians that I think can join these mini-meet: SDP - Works in Hiranandani Powai Desmosedici - Works in Hiranandani Powai engrohit - Works in Hiranandani Powai ghodlur - Works in Hiranandani Powai abhijitvp - Works in Hiranandani Powai Jignesh - Works in Andheri Maverick1977 - Works in the Andheri/Powai area BertieWoosert - Works in Jogeshwari I guess Raj_5004 - Stays in Powai (currently in Mumbai) vvb8530 - Stays in Powai parsh - Stays in Powai What do you guys say? PS: The invitation is not limited to just the listed folks. Anybody and everybody who wants to meet like minded folks (i.e. petrolheads) and can spare some time on Friday evening is most welcome.

| ![]() Can we have the full address of the place if someone wants to come from far ? Are people from Powai only welcome ? Can someone also enlighten as to how long the meet would be for ? I stay very far and then if there are rains then everyone will run away and till someone reaches; everyone else is already in their home. |

![]() Here are the exact coordinates as per Google maps: 19.113036,72.910055. Proper address : Outside Hiranandani Business Park, South Avenue, Kensington SEZ, Hiranandani-Powai. ![]() About duration, again open to suggestions. My opinion is 1.5-2 hours possibly makes sense.

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I can catch up for few minutes if in evening outside kensington. I finish work by 11pm so my chances would be bleak. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Great. Yes lets meet up. But i get back home (Powai) from work around 8 - 8.30, can try and come early as well but i cant come as early as 4 or 5 as someone suggested for the meeting time. Not sure but i think most people working in Powai also would get free only after 6 or 6.30. I suggest everyone mention a convenient time for them and as per the number of votes we fix up a time for the meet. Regards, VVB |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am in, I am in. I hope there are some stalls at the location which SDP has suggested coz I get terrribly hungry at that time. ![]() I would suggest a slight shift in the timings to accomodate all maybe from 5.30 to 6.30 pm so that travelling back to Eastern/Western suburbs does not become a pain. What say? I am scouting for alternate locations meanwhile where 7-8 cars can stay put. |

Let's scout for alternate places also. The small road that connects Hiranandani Hosiptal to the Kailash Complex gate might be worth exploring. Last edited by SDP : 15th June 2013 at 12:32. | |||||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Central avenue is fine with a lot of eating options and so is the jewel tea corner that SDP has mentioned. However for both these places 7 to 8 cars parking is a problem right there. I have marked a few places in the map below where 7 to 8 cars can be parked and we can walk up to Jewel for tea and snacks which is sasta sundhar and tikaau ![]() Also if we are meeting without a requirement to eat and drink then we can meet outside heritage garden on cliff avenue which is also marked on the map. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I work at Hiranandani too. Following this thread for more updates. SDP, Great initiative, my friend! Would be glad to connect with all us gearheads. As mentioned, more frequently than not do i see vehicles sporting the LTD stickers in Powai ![]() I have regularly spotted 3 t-bhp christened rides at my workplace's parking lot. Hope to see those there ![]() -Shivang Gandotra Last edited by MetalBuff : 15th June 2013 at 16:26. |

The section of Forest avenue that you have marked is the one in front of the Hiranandani school I believe. Or may be slightly off. Around 6pm, that road should have ample parking. Even the section of Cliff Avenue that you have shown is perfect. Residential, with hardly any cars parked on the road. From all these places, any of the food-joints are walkable. ![]() Quote:
