Cheers

Is there a meet today? The post is loud and clear to say there's a meet today. If in case there's any meet, I will join you people for a couple of hours as I won't be able to make it for the Drive meet. At least with this meet, I can introduce myself :P

A small suggestion guys. Why don't we have a single thread for all Hyd meets so that it would be easy to follow up. I mean rather than having a thread for April meets, May meets etc, it would be easy for us to track a single thread. Also the thread would act as a memoir for past meets. Awaiting your views

A single thread would run into hundreds of pages at the end of the quarter, so it becomes pretty hard to keep a tab of the meets and etc. Moreover, the excitement would cease to exist when we have a thread with zillions of pages. So its better to stick to a new thread every two months, this way the thread would be small and would serve the purpose.

Unlimited Mineral Water and Great Grub for Rs.500 is not enough? You want a 25% discount on top of it?

3-days in a row. I can imagine Milecruncher must be pleased as a punch

Btw, Cricket meet idea is a good one. But, to be honest. I am not a cricket buff at all. I dont like that game, mebbe something is wrong with me...LOL

Anyways, if its any other sport meet ( Football, Tennis, Golf, Badminton, Table Tennis). I am all game !!!

Alright guys, whoever is coming, see you all in 45 mins...cheerio !!!

kkr2k2 · 12th March 2010, 19:01

vinesataris · 13th March 2010, 07:57

Nice to meet you Arun. Do make it for future meets too. Trick is to keep an eye on this thread

Ebony meet happened and it was the following folks who met up :-

Mobike008
Milecruncher
Zen91
KKRK2
Blacmagic
Vinesataris

Food was simply superb and Ebony folks have to be given a memento as they know how to feed a hungry bunch of people. We really relished the food and it was top-calls, be it their 3 Veg Snacks, 3 NV Snacks and a great buffet spread.

Their dessert deserves a special mention as its truly wonderful and they had my favorite dish ( Chocalate Mousse). Ram, you missed the meet simply for the mousse, iam sure, you would have devoured a few shot glasses of the same ( since they come served in shot glass)

There was also a pleasant surprise waiting as we met a couple of tbhpian's who came with their set of friends ( Srimath and IndianNomad) and they were kind enough to approach me on their own and introduced themself as i was meeting 'em for the first time.

Good going guys, it was nice to catch up with you all.

RR, since your flight was delayed, you had a chance to grab some of this fun before you caught your flight......

So the next meet will be a drive meet as we discussed to Suryalanka during this weekend.

Who all are game?

hillram · 14th March 2010, 02:21

Arghhh..Avi,you shouldnt have described the Chocolate Mousse so vividly !!!

vinesataris · 15th March 2010, 07:27

Can't really make it for the Suryalanka beach meet. Got some other appointments on the same day

. Will meet you guys again in the next meet after this happens.

BTW, I have plans for a trip to Kuntala Waterfalls again (this time I will go hit the correct place, carrying a Google map and GPRS enabled mobile

). We are just a couple of guys going there and I can still accommodate two heads (easily) in my car. Anyone want to join?
