    Soann,

    Count me in (hopefully I should come for either this or next saturday, if no last minute changes happen ;-))..

    Soann, you took the initiative to make this meet happen....It sounds a bit empty if u r not going to be part of it after all that effort you took to co-ordinate and plan with the rest who are attending...and you will be surely missed.....Try and make it soumya...Otherwise, if majority is ok for 18th,we can have it next weekend so you could very much be a part of it !!

    Awww....thanku sweety!!

    I wont be able to make it this weekend for sure and about next weekend also I doubt. It is a family thing so can't escape either.

    I will be part of the next meetup, which we will plan soon after, so that people who missed can join in. With all this planning I very much already feel like a part of this group. So if I don't be there in person it would be just that few hours. And of course the perk of meeting all in person. But if we take each and everyone's convenience, like I said before, the meetup itself won't happen. So a little compromise is meant to be.

    Soann/Sharmila,

    I will get any snack item (store-bought) for the meetup..may be something like mixture/muruku types to be savored by all.

    I have one doubt, will it be possible to eat our food in any food court??? Is it allowed???? If any constraints are there, then we may have to wait till we reach the park to open our food items (hopefully the weather permits for that)..also sitting space for all of us together can be an issue in the food court area...

    Also, Can anyone compile the mobile no's of all those who gonna meet and share through private message before the meet, so we can try to get in touch with any of you to meet up at the correct spot on the day of the meetup.

    As I cannot regularly check IL, request if someone can do this for all of us.

    The food court need to be used only if the weather is bad, and if it is bad then we are left with no other economic option.

    I don't think anybody would come and check what we are eating (correct me if I'm wrong pls). If you choose the villagio food court as opposed to the hyatt food court, both of which are close to the park, villagio food court has different levels. You can occupy the lower level close to the skating ring. If you reach there as early as 10am I guess you can occupy the whole level and do with the chairs as you wish as long as you put them back properly when you leave. In this case we will have to limit the scope of games to sitting games. So that not much attention is drawn to the group.

    All this if the weather is bad only. Else the whole thing can be done in the park.

    I was thinking of the same thing!!

    By the way, can we create a private group in FB to share the snaps of the day, and of the future meetups? Bhuvana would that be against any rules of IL? It will be a private group and invites will only be sent to the participating members. If it wouldn't be a problem I will great the group soon and all participating members can get in there and share numbers.
