Its just that we have ample time when in office , we are stuck in this hinjewadi gaon once you reach here , and what would be better than Team-BHP , interacting with the like minded people

Well we definately need to close down on a place first so as to plan the food options .

Thanks to all for the pictures! Its a great way to stay updated for those who cannot attend.
The other options for your next meet are Daulat Gardens or Manas resort (though I hear entry is no by invitation only).
+1 - I support the statement that non veg food is great at Buninda.

[Swanand Inamdar]

@Selfdrive, Daulat has gone down in terms of quality recently, Manas is a brilliant option! Why didnt i think of that earlier .

And no, entry is not by invitation only at Manas. Plus they have a small Go-Karting track .

Won't that be too short a drive to be called a DRIVE MEET !!
For me it would be like my one way distance to office

[anvancy]

Glad you liked them Swanand.

Will mail you the pictures.

Yes I agree, let's stick to Lavasa/Mulshi for this meet we can keep other options for future meets.

Thanks,
Vishal.

Rush in you nominations for the destination latest by tomorrow EOD . We can then decide on the eatery joint

The current majority seems to be Lavasa .

[Swanand Inamdar]

Ok people, seems like a little confusion here. I suggested Manas as a lunch place not a drive place. Lavasa / Mulshi still remain as the main contenders for the drive.

[jealousdiamond]

^^ Bravo ! Indeed a nice choice for eating out
IMHO , lets finalise the destination first to avoid confusion

I should clarify
- this was a recommendation only for your lunch, and not for your drive destination
- the words used should have been prior booking as against by invitation only. but I remember seeing a sign put up on their gate when I passed that way, admittedly a couple of months ago

Hmmm....This calm reminds me of that shot from Andaaz Apna Apna. Salman Khan - "hona kya tha? unka 1-1 sawaal, mere 2-2 jawab. sawal-jawab....sawal-jawaab....sawal-jawaab....CHUP!..........LAMBI KHAMOSHI...."

hhehehe. Okay I tried all service stations of Pandit, and now they are giving an appointment on 22nd March at the earliest too much rush...Unless I accept Swanand's generous offer to hitch hike in his Laura, I see myself out of this event. Let's see...

[kpbhatt]

I had the good fortune of having mx6 click a couple of pics of my workhorse Indigo, while Swanand's Laura photoshoot was going on . Was a humbling experience for me to understand and see the amount of time and patience + care that is needed for a photoshoot.

What a nice day. No office, markets also closed. The only interesting that happened today was that we forgot to pick up the sausage packet at Dorabjee. 80 bucks gone. The whole day was dedicated to TBHP otherwise. Well, enough rambling.

As all of you will perhaps agree, food is one of the essential but not the critical component of our meeting. So any decent joint will do. One option is we can come back from the Lavasa drive/photoshoot and take lunch at one of the Chandni Chowk joints. Lavasa roads are in good condition, better than the roads to Tamini ghat and Pavana dam. So Lavasa might be a better drive.
