I can make it on 1 Nov and Rajiv Chowk is the best option.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

FInally an initiative by hullap.. cool!
Might be attending..Saturday(8th) suits me the most!! ( Will have to travel all the way from Noida to CP)

Ps: If its on 1st or 2nd.. I wont be able to attend!

S

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

@Hullap,at your service sir!

Anyday till 2nd Nov is not a problem for me.
I will catch up with Hullap first and then we'll head to CP.

I also gotta go to Nehru Place to get a AMD 4870.

Sure kalpik..lemme know..
Nehru place is a good idea!! I will support Nehru Place. Guys what do you say? There is a McDonalds near the main market I suppose.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

i can come as long as delhi metro does there

does metro goto nehru place?

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

metro doesnt go even near nehru place ......

C P is the best option in my opinion .....
and i dnt mind any day except sunday ....

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

woah make it any saturday or sunday, just not weekdays.
and I am fine if I have to come to NP but I would prefer CP.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

i too would prefer CP

M

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Have 2 meet ups

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

^ werent u a mod ?? wat happened ??

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Well, my dad has gone to Hong Kong/Beijing for some conference/seminar, if he comes back on 3rd, then I can look forward to be with you all on Saturday.

Otherwise, if he comes on 8th, then I may not be able to come.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

harryneopotter said:
^ werent u a mod ?? wat happened ??

He resigned

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Maybe we should have an another pole for deciding the place!

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

connaught place seems good. Nehru Place is too kinda rushy. However if the members are planning to do some shopping etc while there, then Nehru place is good. I don't think there is a mcdonald around Nehru place.

So who all will have a problem with 8th? It seems to be the one with the most votes?

dude mcdonalds sucks
kfc pwns it

whytf has kpower voted?
mods please remove votes from the guys who have not posted in the thread or who dont live in\around delhi

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

If you plan to go to kfc then I will have to stay hungry!!
Pure veg here guys.. I dont even have egs!

S

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

KFC is good for non-veggies but veggies need McDonalds to eat their Vaishnu Bhandara(Veg-Burger

).
I think we should go to McD.Both veggies and non-veggies can feast there.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

What about Nirula's.......Its Chicken burger is anyday better than McDonald's and it has also got a hell lot more to offer than McDonald's.......

I think we've got Nirula's in Connaught Place.....

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

guys ... i am an eggiterian .... so no non veg for me be it KFC or McD ... so please choose the spot accordingly ...

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

easier to talk over french fries than chicken guys. I am for Mac Donald.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Nirula's FTW.....

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

So wat is the date/time/place as of now.

nitish_mythology said:

Pure veg here guys.. I dont even have egs!

oh didnt know veggies will be coming too
btw, if my friends come for a party or something, and 1 of them is veggie, my mom makes all veggie food, so i think we should sacrifice our carnivorous tastes for one day

BTW, now we should decide on the timing,
please close the poll

Me and Kumarmohit want like 11:15-11:30AM

kumarmohit said:
So wat is the date/time/place as of now.

8th / 11:30 / CP
BTW, updated first post

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

i was at sarai for a giss workshop and about 50% of the people were veggies. we were short of veggie stuff till i agreed to take a non veg. Anyway, time and place look good.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

11:30 sounds good to me too! Im pretty sure ill be able to make it on 8th, but ill confirm by Thursday/Friday.

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

Reaching CP by 11:30 from Noida... Hmm... I will come if Kalpik is coming along....else chance are a bit bleak..

Re: "Official" Digit Delhi Meetup 2008

So, who'll bring a laptop?

S

I'll try.

You said u didnt have one

S

My Dad has one.I'll try to bring that along with me.
Please bring your Arch config file

Haanji Bhailog, tell me once again the Time and Venue of the meet, is it necessary that if coming to Nehru Place then u HAVE to buy something 'cause I just bought my rig from there last month. All I need is some fans, which I was planning to buy later on.
just tell me the venue, time and purpose of the meet. BTW I live in Yamuna Nagar, hope someone knows about it. It will take me almost 4hours to get to Delhi by Bus!

The venue is CP. Though i *might* go to NP after the meet, so if anyone wants to go there, he can tag along with me. Also if anyone's from east delhi, you can come with me to the meet

Also this is the first gettogether i am coming to. So if any of you calls me uncle, I will run away.

I will bring my boss with me then. He has bald head, gray hair and white moustache. And he has a lappie.

S

Yaar I am not sure if I'd be able to come or not.Got an appointment with the Doc on 8th

@pathik ... r u cming too ??? I thought u were from Mumbai .....

I havent tried Pizza hut yet .... hope its good ....

Appointment at the very same time of the meet? You can come a lil late!

harryneopotter said:

Nah he aint coming! He just a habit of poking his nose everywhere

And OMG! I cant BELIEVE you haven't been to pizza hut EVER!

I am not much of an outgoing guy, i mean i dnt have much party-type friends ..and akele jaane ke kya fayda ?? ... though i like FOOD very very much ... shayad kabhi program nahi bana Pizza hut ka ... so let it be Pizza hut ... i should give it a try too

Well me too no big social person but when it comes to like minded geeks 'n freaks I'm all up for it. BTW how much time wud it take by metro from ISBT(Kashmiri gate) to Rajiv Chownk. Is Rajiv Chownk a valid Metro station or is it CP metro station? Will i need to switch trains if I come by Metro? Although my real elder sister works in Delhi I wud still prefer Delhites for directions.

It will take max 5-10 mins from ISBT as there are only 3 stations in between, and from where will u be coming to ISBT ... coz ISBT to Rajiv Chowk is on Underground Track ... so if u will be coming from the Overhead Track..than u have to switch to the underground one. If u r coming to ISBT by other means (like bus etc) then u have to pick only one 1 train from the underground track to Rajiv chowk (Rajiv Chowk is the name of the CP station.)

If u say .. then i can meet u at ISBT itself coz i will be coming from the Elevated Line and will change to the underground line at ISBT.

Rajiv Chowk and CP are synonyms dude.

It will not take more that 10-15min from Kashmiri gate to CP but keep in mind rush at CP is overwhelming.

Well by the way u tell it, sounds bit complicated but what the hell, will do it anyway. As for u and me meetin' at ISBT, what time do u think u'll be there 'cause if I take a 5:30 AM bus from my town I'll get to ISBT by 9:30 to 10AM.

5:30AM

where in do live exactly? Must be awful far from Delhi.

me and anuj will come together, we can pick you on kashmiri gate station

we should reach it by 10 50

its not much complicated as i may have sounded in my particular post ..
Actually .. At ISBT ..there are two tracks .
1. Elevated/Overhead Track called as Line 1 -- Connecting Rithala and Dilshad Garden.
2. Underground Track called as Line 2 -- Connecting Delhi University and Central Secretariat.

Rajiv Chowk is on Track 2 i.e. Underground Track ... so if u r coming to ISBT by bus .. then u have to take only one train at the underground station From ISBT to Central Secretariat coz Rajiv Chowk is before Central Secretariat.

Hope its easier to understand now.
I can be there at 10 AM if u need some company coz other will arrive a bit late around 11 o clock ...

So what's the final place at CP where we will meet? Nitish will be coming along with me. Hullap: join IRC..

Oh.. BTW, i think ill get a discount on Pizza Hut

I get one in Noida at least! Should get in CP too

Me hnp and anuj in train

Stuck with an unforeseen engagement. Will have to miss the meet guys.

7 people together. Waiting for snake

A

where are you folks? went looking to Pizza hut, which has moved to M block CP

Kya karun,health first

After seeing the pics I realized, ZOMG I was dressed almost as a Panda too, Black and White and my other characteristics like Big and Fat have also been confirmed by the guys, Help! I don't wanna turn animorph into a Panda, yet!

On the topic, after Hullap,kalpik,ilgud and Nitish left for NP, we i.e. harry, me, kumarmohit and anuj stayed back for a while just ranted about few stuff like bikes 'n babes 'n usual stuff and then finally departed to our individual destinations. I reached ISBT back at 3 PM and my home at 9 PM.

I reached Home about 5.15 PM .... the day was great ..but cld have been better if we could have shared Kalpik's treasure

Must be quite an embarrassing one.

Let ur imagination run wild folks, untill its revealed by Hullap himself.
