IR GTG 2023-12-25 @ IA265 - Mohnish Bose, Debosree

The long awaited Indian Roadie GTG with Indian Roadie Mohnish Bose, permanently settled in New Delhi became a reality on Christmas evening (2023-12-25). 

We are separated by a distance of about 1500 kms from each other but get to talk on the phone once in a while. About a month before his arrival in Kolkata for a vacation, he had informed me about his desire to meet me without fail. I too promised to meet him and his wife Debashree. 

We met up at our easy to find regular Indian Roadie Adda Joint, viz. Mio Amore in IA265, Salt Lake. 

He had rented a self drive car from Revv(dot)co(dot)in. Since conveyance was not an issue we could chat on and on and on. 

P.S: The attached photos had gone missing because of a goof-up from my end. A relentless search since the past 8 - 10 days led me to find the photos in my laptop suddenly. 

My earnest apologies to Debashree and Mohnish for the inordinate delay in posting.

Indian Roadie GTG with Mohnish Bose and Debashree in Kolkata - December 2023

Sandip treated us for dinner at The Orient, CC1 on 2024-03-29

Sandip Samanta treated us for dinner at The Orient, City Centre 1, Salt Lake, Kolkata on 2024-03-29. 

Since my VW Vento was not operational because of water pump failure, Sandip picked us up from Beliaghata in his Hyundai Tuscon and again dropped us at around midnight. 

Would you like to be seen in this Honda Amaze spotted in Salt Lake

Someone in his mid or late 30s with dyed hairs considers it cool and funky to be seen driving around Salt Lake and the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass in Kolkata with family members in this piece of Honda Amaze. 

Will you be keen to be seen zooming around town in this piece of car? 

Inference: Any product (service) and every product (service) is not meant for anybody and everybody. 

This logic holds good for every product and service. 

It's a perfect example to define and describe 'market segmentation' and 'target audience'.

The Khangress and Commies, two sides of the same lump of s*h*i*t 💩 campaigned for each other in North Kolkata, too as in all over India. The photos are from Beliaghata on 2024-05-25 (Munshibazar, 1 pic) and 2024-05-28 (Joramandir, 3 pics) before the seventh phase of Loksabha Elections 2024 which were held in Kolkata on 2024-06-01. 

From the same stages the Khangressis spoke of 'capitalism' while the commies stuck to 'down with capitalism'. 
In Nort Kolkata, the commies couldn't even field it's own candidate. 
The state of affairs of both the rogue parties was evident by not more than 8 - 10 plastic chairs being occupied by some stray people at both locations.

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.

IR GTG 2024-04-20 @ IA265 - Satyam Mukherjee

It was a long awaited meeting (Indian Roadie GTG) with Indian Roadie Satyam Mukherjee (Workplace: Bangalore. Presently working from home in Arambagh) which finally happened on Saturday 2024-04-20 evening at the Indian Roadie Adda Joint at Mio Amore, IA265, Salt Lake, Kolkata. 

He is a regular on the Bangalore to Kolkata and Kolkata to Bangalore route, so regular that the car has already clocked about 62,000 kms in the past 18 odd months since he bought it in 2022. 

Thank you Satyam for driving your Hyundai Creta SX a whopping 83 kms each way (Arambagh to Kolkata) with a sole objective of meeting me. 

Awwww ..... I am truly honoured 🙏
