IR GTG 2024-05-25 @ College Street - Sandip Dutta and wife

Fellow Indian Roadie cum Bengal Roadie Sandip Dutta of College Street, Kolkata had ordered Indian Roadie Stickers for his red VW Polo (petrol) on 2024-05-25 afternoon. He had completed the formalities within 30 minutes of sending me a formal request. 

I would have couriered him the pack of stickers within the next fortnight. 

It was just a coincidence that I realized that I had an official meeting barely 2 kms from his residence on the same evening. 

While leaving for the meeting, I carried the pack of stickers with me so that I could personally deliver the same to him later in the evening on my way back home. 

I was cordially invited to his beautiful 100 years old residence at around 8 pm. His wife was a perfect hostess. After handing over the stickers, we had a lively chat on cars, two wheelers, road travel and more upto 10.30 pm. 

Before bidding good night, the mandatory photo session happened 😊 

P.S: Friends, please Order Indian Roadie Stickers if you have not as yet done so or if you got your set of stickers more than 18 months ago.

IR GTG 2024-04-29 @ Mani Square Mall - Abhijit Chatterjee

It was an impromptu Indian Roadie GTG after I got a call from Abhijit Chatterjee at around 7.30 pm on 2024-04-29. He told me that he will be picking me up from the service road opposite the main gate of Salt Lake Stadium within the next 15 minutes. 

There was no way that I could have said a no to him because he was driving all the way from Howrah (across the Hooghly River) along with wife Pallabi and his pretty Indian Roadie Junior chatterbox Brishti, aka Abhishikta Chatterjee. 

We drove to Mani Square Mall for refreshing filter coffee to discuss last minute plans about Abhijit's proposed drive starting within the next 28 hours on the intervening night of 30th April and 1st May 2024 , viz. Kolkata - Lucknow - NCR - Jammu - Srinagar - Sonamarg - Leh - Ladakh - Manali - Kolkata - Bangalore.
