Thank John so much for ur update... very happy if u can join with us

just one change..I have a black R15..not a blue one..and guys I'm not familiar with the Esteem Mall location. All I'm aware of is the that when coming from KR Puram there is a right that is taken to the airport, that right is under a flyover which is known as Hebbal Flyover..

any help would be appreciated..

EDIT: I stay in whitefield

[jagjot]

once your at hebbal (considering your coming from kr puam side) u dont climb the fly over and go from under and take a right turn. keep going down for about 100 - 200 meters u will see esteem mall on ur right.
