@Mobike, since the number of persons coming down seems to be on the larger side, my adobe might not suffice as a place to eat. So you guys can come down to my place, quench your thirst and then move on for lunch. As to the menu, let me know about what you are inclined towards and I can make the required arrangements!

Thanks for your generous offer. You will see the progress and location decided pretty soon enough on this thread.

Alright guys, let the votes come in to finalize the destination?

Thanks for the offer, Neel! Most of us are hardcore Hyderabadi NV eaters.

Guys, what say, Bidar ko Lock kar diya jai?

I'm new here, so will go with the flow. Are you guys driving solo or getting friends along?

Get as many people as you want. The more the merrier!

I am game with Bidar if the menu looks enticing

Nobody wants to leave the steering wheel. So its usually SOLO but, you can bring along your friends if you'd like.

Sunday is fast approaching and this thread seems so down and out. Come on guys, what's the final decision for our destination for our drive.

IMO, I think we did Bidar just too many times in 2010 and should plan again sometime later this year.

Neel, we'll take a raincheck for your offer.

I am proposing either of the two :-

1. Vikarabad
2. Bhongir Dhaba at 60kms. We can drive upto 100kms and return to stop at this dhaba for lunch

Let's go with majority vote.

I'll vote for Option 2 as last time we went on the Warangal Highway, it was Jan 2009. Rest all other destinations have been done in nearer past!

Dropping out as I have a doctor appointment on Saturday, that too at noon. Some other time. There's a plan for a mini drive on Sunday with the family, though.

Also, belated HBD to Mrs. Neera Pandey. That was a spectacular treat, I say! Something that proves friendships go deeper than the cars that kick-start them.

Yes, that is the place, maybe a little ahead or little before.

Shell Bunk is closed or at least it was till recently. Also, it will be on the opposite side and with the dividers, not worth it unless you need to fill on your return journey. Top up your wheels the evening before!

That's the one. Your asking the wrong person. I always fill the cheaper version.

Guys, be prepared to eat the best gongura mutton in your life on sunday for lunch. Strongly recommend skipping dinner previous night and breakfast as well to justify that dish properly

Just hope they serve the same quality that they did last time we visited them.
