Bangalore PUGs meet!!

On monday, Venkat buzzed me on Yahoo! Messenger to tell me that Vivi was going to be in town for two days and that he would like to meet the B-PUGs.. Now since Venkat wasnt keeping well, and Ashok was busy, Venkat wanted me to coordinate with the B-PUGs to make this meet happen.. I gladly accepted, and mails were sent back and forth on the group.

The meet happened today, at Barista on MG Road.. It was scheduled for around 7 - 7:30.. I was the first to get there (this is a first for me :-D).. Then came Kailas, Amit, Chethan, Dev, Ashok. While we waited, Venkat, Vivi and Sanjay arrived at around 8.. We had a great time! One thing that amazed me about Vivi is that he doesnt look like he's crossed 40!! No way!! Had he told me he was 25, I would've believed him.. (I hope I age like him :-D)

We had a lot of laughs, pulling each others' legs.. We also discussed plans for the Annual Meet.. Kailas was kind enough to offer us free beer and a chance to view the race this weekend on big-screen TV :-). Dev kept us entertained with his antics. All in all, we had a fun time :-).. I've taken a few photos, will be uploading them to Imagestation soon and shall post the link.

I had Vivi that I'd be going to Ahmedabad sometime this year (my cousin who stays there has been asking me to come over for quite some time now), and he asked me to contact him when I got there, and that I'd get to ride his bike around town :-D. He also said that his bike would be wearing Pirellis soon :-D. How cool is that!!! Thanks Vivi!! I'll start making plans soon. :-)

Looking forward to more such meets.
