Hi
I just talked to the publisher's
person co-ordinating with me, the young girl E Vidhya. She has promised to
ensure that copies - hardbound and paperback - will be available for despatch
by 13th August. It means the consignment should reach me by 23rd August. (I
expect to receive the edited version for vetting in another 5 days).
Therefore I propose that whoever is
interested in joining the get together may please earmark Sunday, August 28 as
the day for get together.
By far the seniormost member of our
group from Mumbai and not as much senior person from Pune have suggested that
the venue be somewhere between the two locations. The location I had mind is
heavily crowded during monsoons and the food arrangement may not be all that
satisfactory.
I have contacted Dignity Lifestyle,
Neral. I have been a member of the Dignity Foundation for the last 20 years.
They have a huge assisted-living Complex with a club house which can
accommodate 75 persons at a given time. I am opting for this. Also travelling
by train from Mumbai and Pune should be pretty convenient. I believe a first
class 'travel as you like' ticket costs Rs 275 for first class from Mumbai.
There is almost a train every hour from Mumbai VT to Neral. We also have
an option of travelling by our own transport - choice is ours. Autos are
available from Neral station to Dignity Lifestyle.
There are convenient trains at 9.30
am and 10 am from Ghatkopar to Neral. Hardly any crowd in first class on
Sundays.
I have visited this place at Neral
some three years ago along with Dignity Versova Chai Masti Centre members. The
place is great and the canteen is good. Tea on arrival, lunch, and tea and
snacks around departure should not cost us more than Rs 300/- per head. I
propose that we donate Rs 200 each to Dignity Foundation - this is optional.
Seems to be a good proposition all
in all.
My email group of L&T-ites
consists of 150 people. Hope 50% of them can make it.
If 28th August is not convenient, we
can have another batch on 3rd September.
My car dickey will have copies of the
book for sale to whoever is interested in buying.
I am excited. Not good for my age, I
know.
For now, please let me know your
preferred date, your location and whether you will be coming by your own car.
Based on this information, you may be able to give lift to someone who wants to
travel by road but will not bring his own car. Also the number of copies you
want to buy - directly from me. You have an option to order from amazon,
flipkart, etc.
