Mangogirl, good to hear from you. Hope you are enjoying Kolkata. OK, we’ll share your Kolkata experience tomorrow. Well, we prefer to meet at some centrally located place that is accessible from every corner of the city or according to the convenience of the guest. We don't know about your plan for tomorrow …. Hence I think our official meetup place would be OK. Its Grand Hotel Arced – in front of Nike shop – Esplanade. And time….. well, what about 5.00 pm? Is that OK with you or Rongon? I can see Bhaswaran is online, Hey Bhaswaran hope you are not going to miss tomorrow?

Rongon you know my tel no. Mangogirl - I'll send it to you. Please check your PM.

Its very bad that I missed this meetup as I was prepared for this sunday!!! Only problem was I couldnt come online on sat

Somnath: I will PM you my mobile no so that next time I dont miss.

somnath biswas · Feb 16th, 2009, 16:57

Want to hear from you about yesterday's meetups. I missed it because all development took place on Saturday like mobilerug.

theyyamdancer · Feb 16th, 2009, 17:48

OK guys and gals, now that you have digested yesterday's meet-up, how about the next one: around the 10th, 11th, or 12th March? So far, Somnath, yes I think. Anyone else? Usual suspects?

nayan · Feb 16th, 2009, 18:02

I will be in kolkata at that time. Would love to join.

theyyamdancer · Feb 16th, 2009, 18:19

anondo!

Let's see who else; Nayan, pick the date that suits you. Is the previously mentioned venue a good idea? I mean Aminia, near to New Market.

Looking at the dates again, perhaps the 12th would in fact be better since Holi will be well and truly over by then...

somnath biswas · Feb 16th, 2009, 18:51

Any problem on pre Holi. 10th is looking good. As it is Tuesday, I hope it will better if we meet on the same venue post 7 pm. 11th is a holiday (Holi). I hope, even late night 'Adda' on the eve of holiday is acceptable to all. Somnath, your call on this please.

nayan · Feb 17th, 2009, 12:40

Any day any time(and most places) between 8th to 14th is ok with me.

theyyamdancer · Feb 17th, 2009, 12:47

So far then it looks like, probably the 10th (Tuesday) - eve of Holi - after 7 p.m. and attending would be

Nayan
Somnath Biswas
Somnath (to be confirmed)
T-dancer (+ Mr T-dancer)

possible venue would be Aminia for yummy food + adda

Let's see who else can join in.

jyotirmoy · Feb 17th, 2009, 13:02

Go a bit early to Aminia, their speciality Mutton Champ gets sold out quickly.
I was told that a cafe cum restaurant has come up on Ho Chi Min Sarani which is exclusively dedicated to Tagore cuisine.
Did any Kolkatan visit this place?
Have a grand meet up.

travel joy · Feb 17th, 2009, 13:09

That is a good choice of a date.

I will surely try to make it.

theyyamdancer · Feb 17th, 2009, 13:14

Jyoti-da, what is "Tagore cuisine"???

The Thakurbari was also known for its kitchen. Ladies of Thakur household had very innovative ideas and their kitchen did produce some excellent preparations. There is a cook book named "Thakur barir Ranna" I don't remember who wrote that.
Rabindranath loved travelling and made it a point to try local cuisine. This cafe that I mentioned serves Thakur's favourite dishes and play soft Rabindra sangeet.
