IR GTG 2023-04-15 @ Taj City Centre - Kinshuk Arya

In mid November 2022, Kinshuk Arya and Sneha Chandrasekhar Arya of Pune had crossed Kolkata during the penultimate stage of their epic 8600 kms drive with 6 yrs old daughter and 5 months old son. The details of their drive is already there in this forum. 

Although I was aware of their movements, I missed the opportunity of meeting them because they were in a hurry to return to their base station, viz. Pune. During a subsequent telecon Kinshuk had promised to return to Kolkata soon. 

The couple were back to Kolkata with the munchkins for the H.O.G East meet on 14th and 15th April 2023 even while Kolkata was going through an unprecedented heat wave. I missed the opportunity to meet the munchkins and Sneha once again but fortunately managed to meet up with Kinshuk at their hotel in City Centre 2 Annexe on 2023-04-15 afternoon. 

It was a nice Indian Roadie GTG lasting for about an hour.

Aatmanirbhar Haircut 2022-09-25 By Deep

I am getting better at the job every 2 - 3 months. The Aatmanirbhar Haircut on Sunday 2022-09-25 took me about 20 minutes only. Modiji's call for 'aatmanirbharta' after the outbreak of Covid inspired me to try it out in 2020 for the first time ever. 

I am pretty well groomed for Durga Puja 2022 pandal and/or restaurant hopping,  isn't it 🤭 

For the records, the previous Aatmanirbhar Haircut was on 2022-07-20.

IR GTG 2022-12-03 @ Mio Amore, IA, Salt Lake - Maneesh Vijaya

Indian Roadie Maneesh Vijaya from New Delhi had spoken to me on the phone quite a few times prior to December 2022. Both of us were waiting eagerly for the right opportunity to meet up. 

Finally on 2022-12-03 morning, I was thrilled to receive a call from Maneesh wherein he told me that he was on his way to the airport to board a flight to Kolkata to attend a marriage on the same evening. It was decided that we will meet up the next morning before his departure for Delhi. 

It was a memorable long awaited Indian Roadie GTG on 2022-12-04 morning at Mio Amore, IA256, Salt Lake and Bancharam sweet shop before bidding adieu. The duration of the meeting was short. I wish we could have had more time in hand to discuss numerous other topics of mutual interest. 

Dear Maneesh, we must meet for a longer duration during your next visit to Kolkata. Hopefully, the wait will be sooner than expected. 

P.S: My sincere apologies for the long delay in posting the snippets from the lovely meeting.

IR GTG 2022-11-28 @ Sweet N Sour, IA, Salt Lake - Anand Sathyamoorthy

Indian Roadie Anand Sathyamoorthy of Navi Mumbai was in Kolkata for 3 - 4 days of hectic official work. I felt so humbled when he called me up on 2022-11-28 afternoon immediately after landing in Kolkata and said that he did not want to miss the opportunity of meeting me. 

My mother was in hospital after falling down and fracturing her hips the previous afternoon. A major surgery was due for early morning on 29th November 2022. 

Nevertheless, we met up for a pleasant Indian Roadie GTG over cups of steaming hot coffee at our regular Indian Roadie Adda Joint at IA block in Salt Lake on 2022-11-28 evening. 

P.S: Anand, please accept my apologies for the late update.

IR GTG 2023-03-19 @ The Ladle, PA Shah Rd Connector - Nikhilesh Roy

At 7.45 pm on Sunday 2023-03-19 I was at home feeling terribly tired after a day of hectic work. 

Indian Roadie Nikhilesh Roy called me to enquire about my whereabouts. On getting to know that I was at home, he literally ordered me to leave everything and meet him for dinner at a newly opened food joint, The Ladle on Prince Anwar Shah Road Connector (about a km West from Abhisikta Apartments). 

I dressed up and reached him driving my VW Vento within the next 1 hour. 

The invitation to the treat was to commemorate the purchase of his brand new beauty, a Maruti Suzuki Baleno. 

It had drizzled off and on the whole day. The sweltering heat and high humidity had vanished. Being a Sunday, the EM Bypass was devoid of the usually heavy evening traffic. It was such a pleasant to and fro relaxed drive of exactly 18 kms. 

Thank you, Nikhilesh for getting me introduced to the couple owning The Ladle.  Btw, the chicken fried rice was really good 😘
