    Hello Sir,
    I'm a newbie to the THC world. For the past six months, I've been regularly following the blog. Honestly, I've never completed a whole crossword, without the help of this blog.
    I am a resident of Bangalore and would be privileged if I could attend this meet.

    regards
    Sujeet

      11 kms to BNP (I live equidistant from the denizens of the animal world and our politicians in Vidhan Soudha, though it is debatable that I may have mixed up the inhabitants and the locations). If we have the meet in the evening, then they need to got in the morning itself.

    Incidentally, has any of the ingenious mathemagicians in THCC found anything eerie or unique or mystical about the date of S&B V - 12-8-12? There is an infinity symbol turned vertical in the middle...

      It is my humble guess that the majority will be non-non-veg crowd. To avoid offending anyone susceptibilities, I suggest we all be herbivores.

      And don't forget the Dutch Touch. By the way, continuing the earlier subject, since butter is the main ingredient of Hollandaise, 'butter halves' could make up for the absence of 'bitter halves'...

    Dear Col:

    Sorry, I have no plans to visit Bangalore this month-- probably next month, when I can meet some of you.Meanwhile, ye-all have a great Bloggers meet and I'd love to see the pics taken for posterity. Missing ye-all.

    Lets see whether we can have a meet next in CBE.

    Sapna and I fondly remember your visit to our place last year, Janmashtami day. One full year has gone by !!
