Hi Dr. tintin,
This is great to have a doctor in the team.
IMers planning to visit Kolkata, there is good news for you. There are several threads regarding Stomach problem, breathing problem, bad knees, altitude sickness etc. and there are other doctors too. So after taking all the precautions if you are sick we have Dr Tintin to help.

I think tintin will give a discount to the IMers.

And tintin is right, there are couple of programs during puja. If you have some more info, like the contact no. price and all to avail those programs it would be a great help to other IMers too. I came to know that there is a program to visit aristocrat / royal families in Kolkata to experience century old Durgapuja arranged by them. And another program on ‘Bijaya Dashami’ to experience ‘Bisarjan’ in the Ganges. Any info?

Today it is “Mahalaya”. Believe me friends; this is just impossible to stay in the office

. But it is my profession , so can’t leave also.

Tintin, trek and other friends, I’ll miss to introduce myself to you all during the meetup so……..
I was a medical representative and tintin, as a doctor you know what was the demand / return of that profession

. Extensive tours are the integral part of the Sales / Marketing, mainly during this phase of my life I became addicted to traveling. I’ve used every single opportunity to visit places. But now I am working in IT industry and my office is situated at Saltlake (Sector - V). Now Puja vacation is the only time in the year when I try to plan a trip.
I love Himalaya. So any hill station is the first choice for me. I am keeping seashore, temples, big cities etc. for later part of my life when my knees will start complaining in hilly roads.

I can understand Sadhuji and Paagla Dashu, I have similar experience in my life.

tintin8801 · Oct 3rd, 2005, 23:34

so what is the plan after the meet? any preview?/ overview? whatever
