The reason why I think the flowers won't last much. See the gaping holes showing the rocky terrain. These weren't there on my visit on the 19th of sept.


All of you were busy snapping flowers. I was seeing the absence of them as well, as I'd been there 6 days earlier. But still I'm tempted to do this this saturday again to see whether I can still grab some whites and yellows.

Also seen in photos. Most T-BHP members with family and almost all the vehicles!

Arrey bhai ye toh mamla serious ho raha hai!! No need for apologies BolBolero, I was just kidding with you. I am no photographer but can play with words at times. What I should have posted was "Mad at myself / Bad for myself" but then intentionally decided to 'underexpose' the comment and threw in the catch 22 bit about 'due consideration' et all and the result is alu parnthas YummY.

Sorry yaar par is baar mood lift karne ka muaka aur koi mila hi nahi.

I am in for this meet and now you can get me in all your frames. kidding again!

What! do you mean by only 6 When did I go on a diet.

BTW whether on 9th or whenever, I strongly recommend that you take the train. The Pune Thane rail link is best suited for that and with the shape that your ankle is in I think you should rest it whenever possible.

Our test drive experts can be expected to do an absolutely ripping review of the Aria pretty soon. I think the Tatas are positioning the Aria as a premium Innova, with a price point very roughly between 11-14 lacs, based on options etc.

Hope we meet up during my Delhi run in Dec and that we can travel in a convoy from Delhi to Bombay! As discussed.

First of all thank you for giving me the ride up to Kaas and secondly an even bigger Thank You for bearing with me. When I saw BB's snap of myself standing at Tohesagar parking I saw the big patch on my shoulders. I know it is a task to be with me till the floodgates subside. Unfortunately I did not realize it then and even if I had I would have been helpless as my 'Right Guard' can and alternate wear was in my vehicle left at the Mahindra parking. Thank you for being a thorough gentleman and I honestly cannot stop laughing at not taking the hints about being more comfortable on the back seat.

Yes the convoy idea has taken firm roots in my head and I am looking forward to that.

All righty, I see you guys are serious about this Thane meet. In case you are open to a little drive then I would suggest an eatery approximately 30 kms from the Mulund check naka at Padga on the Nasik highway. It is called 'Legends of Punjab' and has yummy food, enough parking and an added benefit is the BPCL COCO bang opposite on the other side offering the cheapest fuel this side of BOM/Thane. Firm up those plans.

[gostel]

@bolero_sir, @biju-bhai, thanks for discovering the photographer in me; but I had nothing better to do then so decided to get to the grass roots of it all

@khoj-basshaon, not to feel sad or bad. Here is a full abreast view of you with a part of the kaas group. Please excuse me if the lettering is not satisfactory.

[MX6]

Now here's a predicament in the last photo. Who can be that question mark?
Can't be Bolbolero as he was wearing darker shade shoes.
Can't be Anainar as he was not wearing shoes.
Could it be PjBiju's friend? Or is it some lady?

It aint me or Anilisanil for sure.

@Khoj. I will be taking the train mostly. Leg's gone from bad to worse in last 2 - 3 days now.

There should be two question marks. The persons behind gostel are Parimal_g and Anainar. Now it's time for you to find the clues that led me to this conclusion. Do I get a gift for this? Also Kailashnj is standing in front of Ashish. He is not named in the photo.

There! Parimal beat me to it.

Sorry to hear about the deterioration, hope you recover soon.

From the shoes that has to be parimal_g.

parimal_g, brother come over to Vashi and I will take you to Bhagat Tarachand here, it has better food than even their Kalbadevi outlet and offers air conditioned environs. No offence intended but the one on the Nasik highway has the worst food ever and also it is further away at Wasind.

Great observation sir,Are you talking about the Sanpadawala branch..? Its our routine as my office is near by, actually never been to this nasik highwaywala.Let me know when can we go to Vashi BTC.

[gostel]

@parimal-g, sorry for not recognizing your shoes; and then how was I supposed to know that I had the backing of two persons? Sorry anainar-jee for being unable to spot you.

@kailashnj, sorry for the slip up in putting your handle there. But this picture was in honor of khoj so I am not offering any aloo paronthen as compensation to you guys.

[MX6]

Here's a couple more shots from my side.

No need to put up names as most know by now who is who.


Finally Mr. Anilisanil is with Mrs. Anilisanil and not with his car.


The rest of the kaas photos would be put up in my other Mag Maha log after a few days. With just 10 gb left in my hard disk, I have to judiciously use the space. Planning to buy a new external HDD (1 tb of it) for my videos, music and documents so that this laptop is specifically for the photos.

Need to take a week break and start arranging my collection of photos which is fast nearing 28K.

Nope the Sanpada branch is run by someone claiming to be the original owners cousin. The one I am talking about is in Turbhe very close to the APMC market. I generally go there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, both being veg days for me. We can go tomorrow if you so desire. Just pm me if interested.

Also, I'd love to meet my good friend Superselect who I missed in this Kaas drive too.

What say Superselect?

Heyy let's have a meet guys ! I'm all charged up seeing all this outstanding photography.
Motoring, good food, and friends - that's all I ask the Lord for.

@Khoj
@Parimal

I am in for a drive and dinner.

Legends of Punjab is far far better than "BT". Was tempted to do BT and it was a waste. "LOP" is nice. So when are we planning this? (any given Saturday/Sunday)

Let me know.

@MX,
Bhai, take care of your leg. I dont know exactly what happened but know it with a personal experience that it hurts bad (i still feel the pain / clicks with changing weather)

Its like going for a drag-race with wear-off tyre. take care buddy and give it ample amount of rest.

[noopster]

This is one great thread. PLease count me in for the next meet up. Cheers!
