Oops, I need to look around the TBHP forums more exhaustively - I missed this thread until now, and with it, a chance to meet you guys and introduce you to Samara (my Endy). I usually go out on weekends on a 1 or 2 day trip, but was home with nothing to do this time!

[anvancy]

It was fun!

Khadakwasla was removed and as suggested by naj,we went first to DSK Vishwa for the first leg of the shoot and then Khed-Shivapur for the second one.

Each area had its own beauty.But DSK was more fun due to authorities.

Even I slept once I came back.

@MX6:thank you for organizing the meet.

@Anil:thank you for keeping the patience.

@Naj:thank you for suggesting the places and the food.

Pics coming soon.

its not scheduled since it requires almost half a day's time. Even I didnt expect it to stretch for 9 hours.

I now need assistants. hahaha..

get that bumper scratch fixed soon.its spoiling your awesome figo and the looks!

The next meet would be in Jan. And the location is definitely on the 'backwaters' of Panshet. I saw a mind blowing photo of the same snapped by Naj. With light not being good, we had to keep Panshet off the plan for today.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable meet. I'd have hung around longer had I got some proper sleep the previous night.
Incidentally, the photoshoot meet was so good that I had to cancel the planned Mumbai trip (where I was to catch up with the great HVK and S Das (visiting from Bangalore).

We'd love to have the Endy in the next meet too. Anvancy was especially looking out for premium vehicles. Missed Ajay's Beemer.

Too drained after 2 days of hectic but thoroughly enjoyable activities.

Anvancy. Hope your flash is doing good now. And please, please, please, help fix me a couple of the flashes with the stands and diffusers. I would love to buy and have told you my budget. Seeing the fill in light actually lighting up the dark areas and giving a great effect to the snaps was really mind-boggling!

the flash is absolutely fine.its a third party connector that broke. so no issues in that. Just give me some time to make things in place, flashes, stands etc and will tell you accordingly.

If some of the authorities take a walk from Ambarnath to Sion on any morning, they'd easily collect fine amount which would compensate for the loss due to 2G scam, in a couple of days!

Anyway, here's a sneak peak of what's to come.

5:00 am. I wake up with my alarm still having 20 mins to go off. What's it about t-bhp meets? I slept at 2 am and wake up at 5.

5:30 am. I call AnilisAnil and he doesn't pick up. Guess he's enjoying his well earned sleep at that dreamy hour.

6:00 am, somewhere near Paud road (god knows how I ended up there due to many diversions by the police), I call Anvancy to tell him that there are loads of diversions and I'm doing circles around Swargate and should be there in Rajaram bridge around 6:10.

6:20 am, Anvancy makes it to Rajaram bridge. We exchange pleasantaries and call AnilisAnil and ask him to avoid Swargate side. Later at 11 I came to know it's the pune marathon that's caused all the diversions.

6:40 am. We are at Sinhagad road - NH4 intersection (?) waiting for AnilisAnil and NAJ.

Shortly, NAJ makes a grand appearance. While waiting for AnilisAnil, over 20 youngsters ask directions to Sinhagad and Khadakwasla to us. Soon we decide to skip Khadakwasla and go over to a great place suggeted by NAJ.

Latitude comes handy. I can see AnilisAnil on NH4 on the flyover, from below through latitude. Another 5 mins, he should be joining us.

He pulls in and parks. All eyes (of everyone on the road) looks at his alloys. T-BHP should come with the 14th sticker - Boori Nazar Waale - Yeh Lo infraction.

All our beauties lined up, we discuss on where to have tea first. After all it's a Tapri meet!

Finally we drive to a place suggested by Naj. 4 hot teas and one poha later, we go location hunting.

here's a view of our beauties resting while we happily sip hot tea on a cold early winter morning!

Sure! we will plan for Panshet the next time. This time I will try to take the required permissions.

MX6 pls keep me posted when the flashes are fixed as I am also interested . This way may be we can bargain a little.
