National Meet (CW Forums) at Mumbai on 19-20/Dec/09 (details at post 96 - pg10)

Hello Friends,

I have to break a news to all of you. It is the same reason because of which I am not being participating in the forum actively of late. I will be a father again and our second kid is expected shortly - the due date being 22nd November.

There is a lot of work at home and at office of late and it is keeping me in a really tight situation.

Owing to the fact that the due date is 22nd November, it might be extremely difficult for me to make it to the national meet - To start with, I don't know as of now if I will be in Mumbai during that period.

It feels really bad, but, under the current circumstances, it is a really difficult proposition to comment on whether I can make it or not. Trust me, if there is even an outside chance of making it to the meet, I will be there. But, currently, I am sorry to say that I will most probably miss this one.

Regards,
K Prasad

Any confirmed dates and plans. Do let us know as I will plan it accordingly.

Waiting for the detailed plan and the confirmed dates as I have to plan my visit to Moscow

Hi Prasad, Nice to see your update Congratulations!!

We were wondering where the bullet man has disappeared?

The not-so-important event is placed about a month away from the very-very-important event  so there still seems to be some hope about you making it to the meet. You can't stop us from hoping, for sure!

Wish you all the best for the very-very-important event, and let us know! You will not celebrate it alone!!

@ Kvsk Prasad,

That’s really a gr8 news.

Please don’t feel bad / sorry about not being able to attend the Meet, because, it’s still a little bit away…so, may be you WILL BE able to make it. In the meantime, please take care of all and everything at the home front. We will be waiting for the good news here in the forum.

Best of Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ KVSK, congratulations & all the very best.  Take care. 

We are still hopeful to have you in the Meet.

@ Banwari, all are waiting for the dates/details - please announce yaar

Okay, so here is the deal!

Event: 1st CarWale Forum National Meet
Venue: Kihim, Alibaug, Near Mumbai
Date: 19th-20th Dec 2009

The Plan: We all will gather at CarWale office in Vashi, Navi Mumbai at 09:30AM on 19th Dec 2009. I will give you guys quick walk around of the office (it's a small office anyway), will have tea/coffee and then will leave to Alibaug at 10:30AM sharp. The idea of having the starting time this late is to ensure that everybody joins in, even those who are coming from outside of Mumbai and will reach only on 19th morning. We will arrange for suitable lodging/boarding for those who arrive on 18th Dec i.e. Friday evening.

We will drive down to the meet venue (those are coming by public transports, don't worry, we will have enough cars to accommodate everyone). There is a good snacks (desi) center on the way (Gurukripa or something. Amazing Vada Pao/Poha/Chai) at Panvel. We will stop by for 20 mins for snacks/breakfast. We will reach Kihim at around 1PM. Our event organizer will organize for a private bunglow (fairly large to accommodate all of us) with exclusive beach for us. We will have lunch, fun, dinner and fun before closing the day down. Next morning, we will start the day with tea/coffee and breakfast and will leave by 10AM and reach Vashi back at around 1PM. We will dismantle soon after.

The fun activities will include a few sports/games, discussions on various forum threads, community name finalizing etc. I am trying for a fun activity related to cars, I am sure 95% of you haven't experienced it before. But it's a secret as of now, if I work it out you will get to know only at Kihim, if it doesn't work out, you will never know. ;-)

Last date of participation confirmation is 15th November 2009.

Look forward to see you all at 19th Dec Morning.
