Hey Guys,

Just saw this thread, turns out I am heading to Kerala for the second time, this time to Cochin. But I'll miss this meet, since Sunday I will be on a boat in Kumarakom. I am flying in with family into Cochin on Saturday night, that leaves me only Monday evening free in Cochin. My wife setup this trip just yesterday. Wish I had seen this thread before, too late to change the itinerary now.

I understand it will be tough to have back-to-back meet. But if anybody is sober by Monday evening and have the time to meet, I'd love to meet you.

28th March 2008, 08:57

well, monday evening doesnt have to be a major meet, i'm sure we'll all be sober enough to meet our celebrity offroader-moderator

hydrashok · 28th March 2008, 09:17

I would love to meet-up on monday evening also. Will look forward to meeting you, Samurai!

Samurai · 28th March 2008, 09:22

It can be very simple and short, just dinner or even a coffee meet. I have never met any Kerala based members before, so meeting even one of you would be nice. BTW, I am the most automobile-ignorant moderator on board and known to be very boring personality. Meet at your risk.

Melcow, Samurai-san

Most people will be sober on Sunday - the new generation of mallu boys are teetotallers. However, what are you doing on a Kumarakom Houseboat during March? Its going to be oven-hot!

Zak and I are planning to drive to this wonderful place called Ramakkalmedu on Mon morning (all please feel free to join the drive if you wish to) but I hope to be back by night so will meet you.

That's nice, I am a social drinker myself, I can be teetotaller or vegetarian anytime.

It's off-season and it is cheap. Considering I live in the coast, shouldn't make a difference to me.

It might be noon by the time they bring us back to Cochin, so I'll meet you in the night.

Don't worry about this at all. I'm about the most engine-vengine ignorant folk on the forum

And automobile talk is usually just 50% of the overall "discussions" during meets
