No photos, but we had a fine time. Good meal, good company. Except Hal stole my wallet. Just kidding.

Looking forward to the next meetup -- anywhere, anyplace, I'll be there with bells on.

Arghh.. I missed the camera - it was there in the car! Maybe next time I guess.

Yes we did have a great time, had interesting discussions that included ( not in any specific order.. )

- telugu films and their dance routines
- cats and dogs or lack of them in hyderabad
- why maps dont work in hyderabad
- how even people who have been born and brought up in hyderabad get confused about directions
- when and where to do trainspotting , especially trains full of nude women
- zen and the art of enfield bullet maintenance
- how telugu and far eastern scripts look similar
- what is the best train journey - a topic that had wide variety of viewpoints -
- the usual train queries that come up when VSP is present in a meet-up, and his responses detailed down to train numbers and departure timings without batting an eyelid
- how billyshake gets stared at by beautiful women all around hyderabad ( ok I made up the last part )
- a quick check at each others vocation and finding no connection with each other at all :-)
- bitching about the bad mods in IM , the grumpy ones, the one-legged ones etc ( I made up that too - lest I get banned

)
- thankfully noone asked me what bigzero meant

The meet-up was attended by me, VSP, hal2004 and billyshake. Billyshake was at the venue on time and rest of us went around a bit in circles searching for the place.

The food was good!

We decided that we will go out on a drive on a weekend sometime next month to do either trainspotting or gokarting. Or perhaps visit one of those Telugu dance shoots??

Thanks folks for the nice time! I guess its time to start thinking about the next meet up...

You'd promised Brazilian dwarves and there weren't any!
Had a good time, look forward to the next one. Thanks to bigzero for the ride home.

Getting about that time where our sorry Hyderabad-asses should think about getting together again... starting the thought now because it'll take a couple weeks to get it together.

Any thoughts on places and dates?

hal2004 · Aug 7th, 2008, 23:49

Looks like I will be back in Hyderabad for the end of September/beginning of October. I am still looking for that Rs 400 per month apartment

Well I am right now lost somewhere in the American heartland... will be back only towards end of aug.
