ok guys,

Here's the deal, how about all the interested techies in Delhi meet up at Nehru Place for a buyout/meet, we can discuss technology and buy stuff at discounted rates, and sip a coffee or maybe just chill around, trying to coordinate with ppl on another tech forum too (TE) and hopefully we should have a reasonable number of people to make the Meet/Buyout a success. The meet as of now is on 19th of July, at Nehru Place so how many r coming? will decide on the time on mutual convenience.

Venue: Costa Coffee, Nehru Place
Date: 19th July, Saturday.
Time: 2 PM


These digit members r expected to come as of now,

Saturday, 19 July, Nehru Place at 4 PM.

Hmm, I can come. I was going to start a delhi meet thread. Let's also make it a Delhi meet thread, NP has Mcdonalds (My favorite junk food store) so we can have some lite lunch there too.

I need to buy HPM-70 headphone for my K750i & one Handsfree for my RIM phone & umm.....nothing else to buy. My office is in GK2 so I can come easily. Kniwor, can U PM me your phone number? Also call phenom (Rahul). He lives close.

Do they sale Computer table in Nehru Place?

Can U guys make it 3 PM? I will leave my office at 2:30 pm, reach N.P, buy HPM-70/75 original & one handsfree for my RIM LG Phone. Is there a Sony world or any other shop there in N.P whr I can buy original Headphone?

After the meet I will go to Palika Baazar with my bro to buy cloths, there r good sales in Reebok & cantibal

Yes I just saw the map, it would be on completely the opposite side. bahut chalna pad jayega yaar!. Look for someplace else

Also which is better for iPod Classic, Creative EP630 or Sony HPM 70?
How long is the HPM tail (cable)?

Then come directly to the other side or park somewhere on your side then walk from inside N.P. It's hardly a 10 mins walk.

@Mohit

Just P.M. me your number & reach Eros Tower in N.P. Tell the Auto guy to drop u at Eros tower or Satyam Cinema.

I am leaving office now for the Sony Service Center in C.R Park. PM me your phone numbers if u want to discuss about the meet. So far I am all set to come on Saturaday 19 July at 2 P.M in Costa Cofee in Nehru Place

I bought HPM-75 today only so on Saturday I only need to buy a handsfree for my Reliance Phone, so I won't stay there for much long.

I need to change my K750i joystick, should I go for SE Service Center or Gaffar market, I guess the difference will be approx Rs 200 only
