For the starters, this was first of a kind meet where we met fellow members from the Digit forums which we were long part of. The scheduled of the meet was long slated to happen but due to the torrential rains and some other reasons, it kept on postponing. Finally everyone decided to have the meet on the 21st August itself.

Just when I had agreed for the meet, it was only the next day I realized that we had out extra Concrete Technology practicals in college. So what started as a obvious ‘Yes, any day of the week’ attitude for the approval of the Mumbai meet, it soon turned to a ‘ Sorry, there’s always a next time’ disapproval. So I was all-set to skip the meet and be a part next time when the same happened in future. So on the scheduled day- Sunday all set to go for my College, Half of the pracs had been completed by 1′o clock in the noon and we were given a break for 1 hr. At that point of time, it was only 1 hr for the Mumbai meet. I just don’t know how it happened, what struck me in my mind, I felt that I should not skip the meet knowing very well of the consequences. Making a obnoxious reason to the incharge lab-assistant of a bad stomach, headed straight to the Mac Donalds- CST, venue of the Mumbai meet. Boarded the local train from Matunga to CST, rushing my way through - managed to reach my immediate destination with 5 mins to spare.

What happened at the meet was hilarious to start with, I guess i was the second one to arrive there. And within no time there were 4 guys looking at their watches, Mac’s entry gate having no clue that the persons we were waiting for were right in front of us. All my plans of pretending as babumuchala or someone ( coz i had pulled out of the meet earlier) backfired. In the end, came Deep to save the day for us. It was quite fun to meet fellow digit members personally rathen than checking their posts in the forums or chatting in the Y!M.
For the first hour we din order anything and mebbe that made the waiter come over to us personally to take our orders. Anyways we din mind coz we were in no hurry. After our small munching at the Mac, went to the Hanging Garden and spend an hour or so there and returned back home.

Here are some of the pics we took. Starting with the one with the names of people etched at the bottom. I am the one in the Blue stripped tshirt.
