Thanks . So tomorrow 6 30? Is it final?

Radjesh · May 13th, 2008, 14:32

So it seems...

Hotel Saravana Bhavan, Royapettah is a landmark. You can reach there and then get to Padmavathi Road...

I don't know where that is.

OK, OK, don't tell me: near Padmavathi Road!

Radjesh · May 13th, 2008, 15:04

More precisely Saravana Bhavan, Gopalapuram. When you turn right/ left into Peters road from Mount road, you can see it... A handy landmark

How to identify? Person coming first should take a table in the open area and also inform the Billing Desk?

StellaG · May 13th, 2008, 18:38

And how many people should I expect to see this time? Who is planning to show up?

Nick-H · May 13th, 2008, 19:01

My pic is on my profile. Radjesh, Mirjam and I have met already...

Gametotravel · May 13th, 2008, 19:04

Operation Meetup went about successfully! It started and ended in a positive note!

A couple of suspects made their presence felt by their absence.

The meeting went without a hitch!

No photos but only reports to be expected as some of us prefer to keep a low profile!

It's ok, Mindgames, you can come out from under the table now, the rest of us have gone!

Mindgames, Hash666, Radjesh, Mirjamd and I spent an enjoyable few hours together, Mirjam leaving to catch her train at 8.00pm.

I even ate Tuna (at great expense

) and it was very nice. Does anyone know the Tamil for tuna, so Mrs N can ask at the fish market. For those that may not know the English name, it is a distinctly red-fleshed fish, quite different to shark, seer, kingfish, etc.

I know people around the world like to see meetup photos, to get to know what we all look like, but, hey... sometimes it just doesn't happen, I guess!

)

Hi Nick,

www.fishbase.org is probably the most authoritative website on fishes including common names in vernacular.

Gametotravel · May 15th, 2008, 17:10

Yellowfin Tuna is called Kerai in Tamil.

Incidentaly vegetable greens are also called Kerai!
