@Sakthi_nj: Cool display pic!

Yeah, I thought so!! But they were not serious about checking. It was more of a show-off. They did not allow me inside as I had a laptop!! I have been to places where there were heavy security checks but in those places they ask you to switch on the laptops and cameras(click a pic or two!!) for checking!! If they think one can fit in a bomb in a laptop(err mine was a netbook which is slightly bigger than the old nokia communicator!!) man it would be as well posible to fit the bomb in a DSLR and they have allowed at least two people infront of me with DSLRs with those big tele-lenses!!!

Buddy, I was out of office at 5:30PM, reached the venue at 6:15PM. I spoke to sagar about me coming to the venue a bit late. I tried calling everyone who i thought would be there to inform any one in our gang brought their car so that I can dump my notebook, but I could not reach any one on the phones. Either their cell phones were switched off or out of reach or they could not hear because of the sound of explosive exhaust!!! Still I thought of going to home to put my laptop and make it back to the venue but that tussle with the bag depositing fellow removed all the enthusiasm to come back there!!


PS: The police behavior, well I dont know if that can be changed in other locations, but yes the organisers can be firm with the security agencies which will be hired in the next locations to act decently with the people who come to see the event. I guess the Security agency involved in Hyd event wasnt doing it as a charity!!!

Me too comin :-)

It should take you about 30-40 min if you're on a bike. Add 15-20 min if you're coming by car.

@sakthi nj: Look for the sleep deprived dude with the white patch of hair in front. That's me

Me too going!
Don't wanna miss this!

Are you sure its not the other way round considering CBD traffic?

PS: not everyone is having a SeXy4

Damn the distance! Else, I would be watching CP's event at Kanteerava.
I am sure Bangalore will rock provided rain god falls asleep! Since Chennai is nearer from Pondy, I am planning to go to there!

Henge saar? From 4th block, one straight shot down RV road, and a right after Corporation circle should have him in the venue in about 30 min. Wouldn't be too much traffic at 3 pm or thereabouts

So what if I have a SeXy4?

And will park up in CCD Square in all likelihood.

Err... did i mention I m new to Bangalore??
I think i better stick to "Bhai saab... yeh Kanteerava stadium kidhar hai?"

Or else Google maps devta ki kripa!

Whatever the traffic, bike can reach there faster than a car
Meet you there...

Vasaa.. working too hard? Read my post properly I say!

It can't get simpler than this:

Jayanagar 4th block complex, take RV Road. One straight road down RV Road, take JC Road, head down that road past Town Hall, and at the next signal (St. Paul's church if I'm right), you're about 30 secs away from the venue.

Otherwise, use Google Maps man.

I'm coming for sure Will be there by 4.30..
Will park up at CCD, like most of you.

Which side is the entrance from, any idea?

is here anyone who is going from hebbal??

Its Hudson Memorial Church! There is a space where in loads of imported cars are parked behind Kanteerava, next to Hudson circle.

Ah yes, Hudson's

And that imported car place is a cramped service station, which will not allow public parking, if that was the point of your mentioning it

@Tibby: WIll be good to meet you again.
