normally_crazy · 7th October 2007, 16:54

It's that time again. We did it successfully last time and we have to better it this time. What are we talking about ??

Mega Madness - Part 1 (Mumbai Diwali meet-UPDATED with Reports & Pics from pg 23.)

Manson and I just got talking and the idea struck.

So are you in ? This offer is valid all over India.

There is poll for confirmations only.

Date - 8th November 2007 - Thursday

A couple of venues are being worked upon as I post and we shall post once the deal is through. If nothing works out - we shall still come back for suggestions.

Lets roll guys.

Am I to assume there is a meet in Mumbai on Friday, 9/11?

You could assume that yes. It would be perceptive of you to do that, given NC's post lol

By any remote chance - if you are referring to the great American tragedy, that was the 11th of September. Slipping, aren't you?

With the 'Offer valid all over India' thing, it sounded like a massive saree sale. But you know how smart I am, I figured it out eventually.

In India, we write dd/mm/yyyy. So it's 9/11, saree sale, and 11/9, structures fail.

Ok, I'll try and keep the useless talk to a minimum.

Thank you Chaddi baba. We will need your help and presence in getting this right.

V-16 · 8th October 2007, 14:06

Count me in for this one surely. Would love to help organise this, one mega meet.

scooby05 · 8th October 2007, 15:27

9th November happens to be Diwali day-Laxmi pujan.
Not too many people who have pooja at their home or office will be able to attend! I will not be able to attend.

iraghava · 8th October 2007, 15:57

If I get the permission to go to Mumbai, I shall join you guys!!

viper · 8th October 2007, 16:04

Hi,

I agree with Scooby. Lets have the meet ideally a few days before or after Diwali on a Saturday Night(3rd, 10th or 16th) so that everyone is free from family functions, Puja etc.

I volunteer to assist in the planning and on a personal note would prefer a date prior to the 9th as I will be out of town from the 9th to the 18th with family.

maddy42 · 8th October 2007, 16:15

Well lots of people will be busy during that time guys. I will be out of station from 2-11 so guess it would be nice if you can arrange some suitable date!!!
Its been a while and i wanna meet the team-bhp family here

manson · 8th October 2007, 17:19

Last year the meet was on the night prior to Diwali, and it was attended by almost everyone, including viper (on crutches then) who had plans even last time around.
Guys, i personally would not want this one to go down like the previous drives cos of dilly-dallying date issues, hence NC and i thought hard over this one.

Talking about help, could not resist posting this, lol

Since 9th is the first day Laxmi Pujan we can have this meet on the 8th night.
