I had Buisiness meeting at Pune (I am from Chennai) on 5th and 6th March. After reading about Shalu's (MS profile S_Dhyani's) MS Mumbai meet I thought I will meet some Pune MSians during that time. I sent M2M to some of the Pune based MSians (by searching)...onlySajit Nair (MS profile sajiths) responded and gave his mobile contact details.
I landed at Pune at 11.30 am informed Sajit and reached the Hotel Sadanand Residency.
As Sajit had to leave to his native place with his family on the same evening, we decided to meet at 1.00 pm for lunch. He came to my hotel and we immediately went to the restaurent. While enjoying Butter Nan, Butter Chicken Masala, Fish Curry, rice, Fried Chicken etc., we both had a nice talk about MSians. He also guided me to choose the best mobile, broadband and Digital TV providers, as I am planning to take up a long time assignment (one year) based at Pune and looking after the projects at Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, in April 2009. (I signed the contract on 5th February '09 at Pune, but never thought of meeting MSians)
He also connected me toShalu and Tanna (MS profile astrofreak 1234)! It was nice talking to them. I felt homely..and this is my first time meeting an Internet friend! What a wonderful joy...I also learnt more about MS..which is making me to write what I feel like and uploading my personal photos....the comments encourage me to write more!
I have attached a photo of Sajit and me...waiting for the food (talking to Shalu!).
I wish I get chance to have Chennai or South MSians meet!
I made flying visit to Pune on 16th March from Chennai for 5 hours! Sorry I couldn't talk to anyone. Sajit, are you still in your home town in Kerala?
I will be visiting Pune again end of March. Ready for MS meet? Pune/Mumbai MSians can be in touch with me to enjoy my special treat!
Your Ross Uncle.
