Hmmm... lane opposite airport. but when is this date now? i seemed to have got lost in the maze of days and dates. I am reaching... ummm... when? 9th right? and you guys are leaving on 10th. hmmm... maane next day. its a till-next-day affair, taai naa? that is back to the city on 11th. lets see. already my wife got a whiff of it and is already making ominous noises.

actually the next day's bhai-phota seems to be a little problematic.

oye... btw... just in case i do make it then in that case if i catch a train and reach ultadanga station, will that do? I mean, will you guys pass by the ultadanga station?

we will most probably take rajarhat and meet with shuvc in front of haldiram (VIP Rd).

can you take a cab/auto from Ultadanga stn. and come straight to Haldiram (VIP Rd) - it will take max 5 mins from Ultadanga

Would probably take a little more. Baguiati is pretty crowded, even at that time of day. Keep around 20 mins in hand.

By the way, I have some bad news. Phoenix will not make it to for the drive. :(( There are too many pending issues that need fixing, and I cannot risk taking her on a long drive. Guess I'll be bringing the Santro.

XetaGLGRocks · 7th November 2007, 20:26

I won't take Rajarhat. Will be a bit risky for me.
I'll come via Hudco and take VIP Rd.

Time is 9.00 AM? Right?

XetaGLGRocks · 7th November 2007, 20:50

@Rocker : iam counting on you buddy. Do not run away at breakneck speeds. Otherwise, with my reputation of directions I might as well drive all the way to the bay of bengal

.

Razor and Shuvc : Kindly look back at times.

planet_rocker · 7th November 2007, 21:45

gather: near Haldiram, VIP Road - shuvc should be there by 9AM.

i will be tagging along with either shuvc or razor.

dont worry - we will let you catch up (or try to catch up with you)

@ shuvc - please bring along with you - the RC car - because i will bring mera wala with me.

PS: Can we Race the RCs ?

shuvc · 7th November 2007, 23:25

Will take along the charger. Hope i remember. But i'm no good at racing with them. Mebbe will learn from u.

Great! Shuvc and Rocker, sit on each car and interchange the remotes. We'll see who wins.

The guitar does not make sounds that this gathering would love to hear! But you can mp3 the sounds for my hearing pleasure.

OT, there is one guy here who does the "Neele Neele Ambar par" interlude perfectly.

Of course there will! Pls get the guitar.
Btw guys, booze costs a LOT at Santiniketan. Are we planning to carry some with us? What's an adda/guitar session with no booze?
