Dinner on Thursday at 7 PM should work for me as well.

But why Thursday and not a Friday?

[jogidada]

Sounds good - have been a silent reader on the forum so far, would be great to meet puneri T BHPians in person. I may be late in joining you guys though as I work near Ruby Hall clinic.

Cheers,

Amit Joglekar

I generally leave early around 4:30-45 PM everyday. If we have a plan then I will stay back and take calls from office.
On thursday I have calls till 8 PM, if finished early then I will join early.

Leaving around 4.30-5 p.m.
Work from home option available.

I know which company you work for! Moi too!

@reinhard - be careful. This is the latest company that works on "Trespassers would be recruited!" theme!

@amitwlele - Thursday is safe for getting a good number for dinner. Friday is tough, people could/would have plans.

So, Mezza9 ko lock kiya jay? @Mods - please don't mis-read that & close the thread instead!

Well I don't really believe being secretive about company I work for - SIEMENS PLM, Phase -1.
Did I burst the suspense ?? I am known to be a spoil sport.

See you soon at the dinner.

What ? dinner at Mezza9? @ 7 in the evening?
Would be a good drive from my office (in Sadashiv peth) to H'wadi, specially with the peak hour traffic..hee hee.

I normally wrap up at around 7.30ish.
Will be there! But a tad late. Its WFY scene for me, but got a few appointments lined up that day.

Oneself, selfdrive..where are you?

P.s.s. Anybody else has any suggestions, please share!

yeah Monaro bhai, drive would be a bit worse for me considering I work at Bund Garden road. I am off to Chennai for a day and will be back by Wednesday night/ Thursday morning
I am not so enthu about going to Hinjewadi; for me thats like going to Mars in a hot air balloon. No offence meant; I just want to avoid that area till I can; at least till I get a great offer in terms of money or flexibility in work timings!

where? where? lets have a meet this side of town.
@dot may not be here, but I guess we can enlist at least mdsaab & shabahmed. Anyone else this side of town?

Kothrud guys, what about a breakfast meet this weekend in town?
PS - I dont intend to steal any thunder from your dinner plans, just putting a thought out there.

Amit, most folks usually have something planned for Friday night. In my case I need to pick up my car from VW after the monsoon check-up.
That reminds me, I don't have the car on Thu either, so will probably pile o with you, Swanand.

selfdrive, it is not too bad driving *into* HJW at that hour because everyone is in a damn hurry to get out . But I get your point completely- why don't you guys plan something on your side of town as well? I suggested HJW so that we could get these fringe players into the mainstream. Once hooked, we can unleash the likes of you on them .

[Reinhard]

I'm mostly out of the dinner on Thursday. Reason is I drive with 2 ladies to & from office. (Don't raise eyebrows. Its wifey & our friend.) With the rains, I don't see a way of arranging proper alternative travel for the two. And they have bluntly ruled out being with more than one auto maniac for dinner.

Selfdrive, count me in for the breakfast on weekend.

Ahem, how would you unleash a married man? Nevertheless, perhaps you have confused me with the one and only 'oneself'?
eee hee eee hee... I need more training there!!

Have fun guys and dont forget the mandatory pics

Hmmmm seems like a tempting offer. I will check my Thursday schedule and get back. Now I think everyone will be on the look out for me on the wrong side in Hinjewadi Ph2 where as I might be actually be on the correct side of the road and go ahead in a blur.
All said and done , will get back to you on this.

Bala, as Noop rightly said, getting in Hinjewadi at that hour is no problem. The entirte strecth that leads to Mezza9 is practically empty. its the other side thats jam packed. Do try and make it.

.

No worries mate. Do you need to be picked up as well? Lets sync up on BBM if thats the case.

Confirmed attendees:
1. ninjatalli (Niranjan)-9096005514

3. Remington Steele (Abhijeet)
4. amitwlele
5. jogidada (Amit Joglekar)
6. noopster (Anoop)
7. Jealousdiamond (Pankaj)

Just added Pankaj's name to the list. If this guy is in Pune, he would make it. There is not a chance on earth he would miss a meet .

. Yup that's what I did, Bala. Sometimes these similar sounding nicks get confusing!

I believe the man himself is on the high seas, so the newbies have to wait for that pleasure .

I have put myself in the confirmed list but may not be able to make it this week, after all- illness in the air. Still let's see how the turnout looks and take it from there.

edit: added ajnagpur's name to the list. Request members to do this rather than confirm by posting, thanks!

Pity about the illness. Still if possible, do just drop in for a while - you could leave after half an hour or so.


Added one more name to the list (got confirmation by call)

Btw, I would require a lift, as I come by bus to office. Anybody going towards Aundh (or ahead), care to drop me off at Sanghvi phata.
