NCR (Delhi) Scorching Summer meet...

suman · 20th June 2007, 17:13

Man, you sound like you're talking about an all-day program....

; I would suggest you meet in the evening on the road going towards Faridabad from the Genpac crossing (perhaps a few kms from the redlight), that should be a good place to check out the rides.

Head straight for Machaan or whatever thereafter......GD, how's this place, have you been there?

That should serve the multiple purposes of the meet as in - Meet, Gawk (at the rides), Talk, Quench thirst (QT), more Talk, Eat, QT, Eat, QT, QT....what say

Oye Pappe, mark my attendance...

I think this place closed down long ago. We tried to arrange a meet here sometime back and either Khaadu or Suman told me that the Go-Karting place was no longer there.

Better check it up before you finalise.

gd1418 · 20th June 2007, 19:25

Suman, you & I both pass this place at least twice a day - once while heading for work and again while heading home.

I've seen on my return in the evening, a bevy of cars parked for QT as you say. But haven't gone in myself.

Why does Gunbir think of lugging us from one place to another. As I mentioned earlier, by the time you have QT session and move to another place for grubbing the whole 'nasha' vanishes.

The idea of chkng out rides on the FBD road and then proceeding to Machan for the finale seems a good idea.

You joining this time Suman? And Ishaan, Tanvir and others, are you listening?

Guys been to Machan many times, Food is good and good ambience. We can buy drinks from the adjacent wine and beer shop(thekha). But guess will need to book, as it is always crowded and it will be little difficult to find place for too many people.

Any other suggestions gurgaon member, anyone seen that place???

O Sirjee, lugging shugging with any of us is strictly no no. We all come from good families. OK, almost all. hehe.

austere_sly · 21st June 2007, 01:08

I went there around a month ago and its open. Charges are like 150 Rs for 10 laps. Theres also bull riding and trampoline for those who want to go for more adventure.

khaadu75 · 21st June 2007, 01:20

Hey. So make it simple -- meet at 32nd milestone , have a go at go karting if its still there and then head to Machaan for the rest of the eve .

Cheers

Not me buddy......in fact I took my kids to 32nd milestone a couple of months back. I'd told you about the place near the Delhi border, E-Zone or something. That's the one that had closed down.

Actually, I can't blame you for getting mixed up - involved in so many cities meets these days

, how can one expect to remember

Well, if is at Machaan, I'm sure I can walk across for a drink if nothing else! I see the place everyday but like you, have never gone in

gd1418 · 21st June 2007, 12:34

Ok, now let's mark the attendance:

Khaadu
Gunbir
Horsepower
Suman
gd1418
Low_Bass_Maker

Sorry if I've missed out on somebody...

Probables:

Ishaan...??
Tanveer.??

Any other names please...The date is set. Let us fast finalise the time and venue. As before, G Paaji is requested to take care of the bookings etc...

gd1418 · 21st June 2007, 12:36

Why do we have to buy the drinks from thekha? Does Machaan not serve 'rangeen fermented paani'?

Then whats the point? I guess they don't have a liquor licence so the last thing I'd want is to find the local "with you for you always" raiding the place to make a quick buck......and spoiling our fun in the middle of the second or third peg

horsepower · 21st June 2007, 13:11

Well you know it works in Gurgaon, they all claim to be legal drinking places, and have tieup with the local police and politician's.

I have even seen police gypsy picking up stuff from them.

horsepower · 21st June 2007, 13:14

I have never heard of anything like this before. But cannot rule out the possibility. If you want we can go and check with the owner?
