Hi Kipling
1) I never hide my profession in this site.
2) do you have any problem to share Jokes and have a Beer with a guide( Who also travel a lot in India).
3) i nevr offer any tour or service to you or other. Yes, i offer something to some memeber those who show interest and send PM / email to me.
I like to know how others are thinking about.
If opinion is unanimous , I will withdraw myself.
thanks

I've expressed my opinion, and it is mine only. I'm certainly not suggesting you withdraw from anything.
However I am now withdrawing permanently from this particular topic.

Cheers

wonderwomanusa · Sep 27th, 2003, 05:24

I don't think it's a question of anyone withdrawing. I think it's important for all of us to sit down, have a meal or a drink together, as friends.

We don't need much in "arrangements" -- just a suggestion for a meeting place. The garden at Fairlawn is just as good as anywhere else.

This is for friendship, not for commerce... though commerce might very well come of it someday.

kipling · Sep 27th, 2003, 06:44

Sounds good to me. In due course perhaps you or Indiaguide might suggest a date and time?

indiaguide · Sep 27th, 2003, 11:35

"I think it's important for all of us to sit down, have a meal or a drink together, as friends. "

eveeybody knows its our intention to meet in any city.Nobody said about Commerce.

Ok

Fairlwan is good with beer but food is very bad.

wonderwomanusa · Sep 27th, 2003, 11:53

At this point, I don't know where I'll be after 5 November, but will probably be heading East, so we should be able to meet during your stay there... I will try to post here or will e-mail indiaguide with my schedule. Depends on how good the cybercafes are.

kipling · Sep 27th, 2003, 13:42

That's fine.
We'll play it by ear. I'll tune in to Indiamike now and then, when the opportunity arises.

indiaguide · Sep 27th, 2003, 17:44

Fine, Thanks everybody. Hope we will enjpoy our meet in Kolkata.

indiaguide · Sep 30th, 2003, 23:43

Caliyogi , milreef , whta about you?

Anybody else comming Calcutta during Oct' or Nov

millreef · Oct 1st, 2003, 05:32

For me it's got to be one of November 5th, 6th, or 7th - as I arrive from Darj on Nov. 4th and am off to Singapore on the 8th. Does this work for anyone?

wonderwomanusa · Oct 1st, 2003, 05:39

I won't be able to be in Kolkata that early .. I have a date to meet Rossy Todor around that time.

SHIMLA · Oct 1st, 2003, 12:47

Indiaguide,

I'll be at Kolkata for just one evening on Oct. 20.

Can we meet?

Anth · Oct 1st, 2003, 16:07

cool.. I am new to this list but i've been reading for a while.

We will be in Kolkata in late November. It would be great to meet up with some people from this site, and no doubt get some great tips. Thanks Indiaguide for starting the thread.

We are coming into Madras on the 8th and we also want to have a look at Puri and Konarak.. Any advice on the best way to do this leg? Should we fly to Kolkata and go back to Puri or come the long way up?

How exciting

indiaguide · Oct 1st, 2003, 23:21

Hello SHIMLA and Anth welcome. To Calcutta meet.

From Madras to Puri is long train journey. One flight is Connecting Madras - Bhubanneswar.Othewise you come to Calcutta and then visit Bhanneswaqr- Konark and Puri.

wonderwomanusa · Oct 2nd, 2003, 04:54

Anth, are you saying you don't want to see anything between Chennai and Puri? Sheesh, man, what about the 2/3 of the subcontinent? It's not chopped liver out there!

Doesn't anything in your guidebook turn you on?

Why not fly into Kolkata?
