So the 5th it is!!

Call in all the BHPians guys, we have to make this happen!!

We also have to decide upon the drive start point and the destination.

nkg77 · 26th April 2012, 23:31

Yes I will be joining you guys for the meet on 5th May

sajjt · 27th April 2012, 12:35

Its been a long time to be with a TBHP meet and the proposed venue (Andhakaranazhy Light house) is close to my stay say less than 15Kms which is very tempting too. But 5th is Saturday which is a big no for me. Have you guys forgotten this or Saturdays are more convenient than Sundays?

Sunny Sir, are you in for 5th? What about Vaisakh is he here?

dhanushmenon · 27th April 2012, 15:43

May 1st might not be possible for me... But May 5th should be okay for me. I have a meeting at 1400 hrs which i believe is not going to extend beyond 1700. So I'll be able to meet up after 1700

That brings me to the next query. Are our spouses and kids welcome??

naveen.raju · 27th April 2012, 18:12

@Sajat - Long time no see. Me 50-50 on 5th but fine on 1st. Being Saturday, might be engaged.

Guys, 1st not possible? Let me know.

Hell0 Naveen, thanks for remembering me, yes its been a long time to be with you guys. Will try to make it on some day once am comfortable with the date and time.

Guys, enjoy the ride and meet.

Yea, after long time. I may come to Arthungal route, since scenic, I hope. Problem is I am hooked to serious photography, no expert, but I am fallen in love with this art.
NO on 1st, will be in Pooram, to take few good shots of Kudamattam, and night shots of Fireworks too...
Any other day, ok.
Simply a meet for saying hello is waste(sorry to say.....), I need some action. AND I LIKE LONG TRIPS ALONE, no nearby repeat trips to Munnar, Cherai...NO.
If anywhere any chance for good, serious photography chance I go.

March 1,2,3 was in a remote village Kooveri, in Kannur, to cover "Perum Kaliyattam" of once in 20 year Theyyam mohothsavam. Taken many rare photos of 5 beautiful Theyyams. Great devotion of Malabar Hindus, was very informative their rituals, Vrathams...etc.
This august will go to either Ladakh or Bhutan on my car, solo drive, if not going to China.
Anyway carry-on with your short meets too, when time permits, after these activities I will come. In fact wish to come as the 'youngest' around' with you youngsters !

Thanks for remembering me, love all of you...

rajoy123 · 27th April 2012, 22:27

Great to hear from you after a long time. So why don't you start a travelogue and post these pics?

I saw some good pics on Gavi these days after that movie released. Have you been there?

All the very best on your long pending dream travel to North

Speed.Demon · 28th April 2012, 11:51

So it seems the date is the deciding factor. How many people are ok with 1st may?
