CCD ??? I kind of don't like it. But ok.

it's just a suggestion dude. We can pick a best place to meet. Let's wait for other Bangaloreans.

where ?

i mean the area

I am thinking of picking something either in Koramangala or in MG road.
what do you think?

Any other places we can hang out. I mean other than Koramangala or MG Road. I am not used to hanging out.

I am ready to meet up namma Bengaluru members

am ready...

am staying near to cox town

@channabasanna, Do you have any place in mind??

Also, place to pick will also depend on how many are ready to meet.

Let's make July 5th a tentative date for now (sunday).

5) KFC in Forum
6) McDonalds at Total Mall, Madiwala or Forum
7) Lalbagh
8) Jaya Nagar (not much idea about places here)

Anyone attending todays readers meet in Garuda?

at what time?

At 4 PM i think..

Forum would be ideal...

am okay with Forum.

^Me too.

Couldn't go to the official meet. Would love to make it this time. Any CCD on MG Road would be good. MG Road would be a better place because it's at the center of the city. Kormangala is too far!

Me ready to meet in Forum. Its like me coming to office.

okay. Tentative Schedule:

Location: Forum Mall
Time: 4pm
Date: July 5th

Hey cant me make to meet up in the early hours, rather than the evenings. Since it is raining nowadays in the evening.

Can we make it by 12pm or 11am

Just my opinion.

^^+1..
I think its better if its at 12 noon

anytime is okay for me. Added a poll to the thread. Pick the time that you guys are comfortable with

Prefer Noon because of weather and distance to cover to reach home.
Approx 20km from my home to Forum. So i prefer noon.

Hmm.... I'm doubtful. I can only confirm my comming on 30th of this month. That OK with you guys ?

And I guess we have some people missing here. Infra_red_dude is away in US

What about Charan and Gigacore ?

Bump.

Date: 5th of July
Location: Forum
Time: 12:30 noon

Be there

will be there

Will try.

What do you guys think of making Transit as the meeting point??

Sure

BTW, whoever is coming, please PM me your contact number.

PM isn't working for some reason

I don't think i can make it. Ill be out of station mostly.

^Ill be there

Transit seems fine...

Hey.. I would be landing at Bglore on 6th. I need to know where would I get the following things:

good clothes at cheap rate, that being under Rs. 1000?
cheap casual clothes? ?(plain tshirts/shirts)
computer hardware at cheapest price in bglore?
factory outlets of nike, reebok, puma etc.
PROPER north food. cheap, if possible.
North chaat, anywhere?
Service centre of Dell.
Few shops like Alfa in Mumbai, where i can get stuff without bills

I would be staying at Yelahanka as my college is situated there. So places near to Yelahanka would be great. Thankyouu. Njoy the meet.

1) Marathahalli, Majestic, Jaya Nagar
2) Marathahalli, Majestic, Jaya Nagar
3) SP Road
4) Marathahalli
5) everywhere
6) everywhere
7) donno
8) Majestic

@desiibond - sent you my # ...

@chirag

yelahanka? BMS or Nitte..?

and about your requirement:

desibond, the Marathalli/jayanagar area would be like travelling from one end to other if he's coming over from Yelahanka...he'll be f8cked

good clothes at cheap rate, that being under Rs. 1000? --- Majestic {nearest}
cheap casual clothes? ?(plain tshirts/shirts) -- Majestic
computer hardware at cheapest price in bglore? -- SP Road {no better place }
factory outlets of nike, reebok, puma etc. --- Marathalli...{yelahanka too has some I guess, not very sure}
PROPER north food. cheap, if possible. --- depends on what you mean by PROPER. North Indian food is available everywhere but if by PROPER you mean food made by your mum, then ghar se ek-do dibba saath le aana. lol
North chaat, anywhere? -- everywhere.
Service centre of Dell.-- NO idea.
Few shops like Alfa in Mumbai, where i can get stuff without bills -- dunno what you get over at Alfa. So can't suggest.

C

^^
Srishti school of art and design. I is a design kid.

At alfa, you get like everything - camera, mobiles, other electornic stuff, etc..
By north food I meant like we get in hotels. Food that tastes north. I tried paneer tikka masala in Yelahanka and it tasted weird, no north.

Also can you tell me how far (minutes) is Majestic, SP road, Marathalli from Yelahanka? Also what would the rick charges? or maybe I will take bus to bglore and then rick.

^ hmm -- dunno if there is one best option to cover for all of what you'll need. Something like a big bazaar probably but that is ultra $hit...I never trust those guys.

Food -- try out a few hotels...can't exactly compare the tastes so that would be the only thing I can suggest right now... you should prolly wait for some other north guy to come in and give an opinion based on taste.

How far--- depends on the side of the bed you wake up. If you get tra-fcked then you'll need 2 hours MINIMUM from yelahanka to Marathalli... SP and majestic are closer.

Distance in kms approx. from Yelahanka to :

Majestic --- 8

SP --- 12

Marathalli --- >25..easily.

rick cost? those buggers are absolute fleecers.. depending upon the type of auto, you could easily end up paying about 50-60 from Yel-Maj. Make your own assumption of rick cost from Yel - other places.

Just a reminder to the meet guys... Since it is the last working day of the week

Hope to see you all @ Forum on Sunday.

reminder set for my phone. First one to reach Transit, please send me SMS mentioning nearest food counter and "how-to-identiy-me" so that I can pass on that message to everyone else.

^ lol...how would I know if I'm the first one to reach there ... we're better off smsing everyone once we reach there..

btw, just a thought -- instead of transit, how if we met up somewhere outside forum building? Transit might be too overcrowded to know who's who.

How about meeting up near the Baskin Robins [or some **** like that] on the entrance? {on the dairy circle/christ coll side}
just a suggestion

^not everyone may be comin from that side...i think transit is the best...whose coming except the three of us anyway?

I'm going on a movie with a bunch of friends on the same day at forum mall. Then will will lunch. So I guess I'll miss everything. How do I identify you guys there ?

Everyone who confirmed has my number and once I get the SMS, it will be forwarded to everyone else from my mobile.

C

One more thing. I would be getting a mobile soon. Which service provider shld I go for? Hows virgin? Coverage? I want a service that has the cheapest STD services. Any idea?

Thankyou.

In bangalore, Airtel and Vodafone for coverage. These days Vodafone has better signal than Airtel and if you plan to use internet on your phone, Vodafone is the best option as airtel GPRS suck big time.

Also, Aircel has released lot of student offers.

Student packs: Aircel/Spice
Internet and calls: Vodafone
Calls: Airtel

Cumbersome, but the only way out since the admins dont care.
