Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
i can meet on Sunday. but let us keep it for the morning at normal time. Evening it is difficult to plan also means cannot go out with family. I do not have any issues with coming to Ratan's house except one. I do not know where it is. :) So do send the address and directions and I will be there. Hope this can be confirmed by 5 PM today so we can plan for Sunday accordingly. Cheers Suresh A

Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Sorry guys, I cannot make it to the meeting :(
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Friends, I wish we go ahead with our meeting this weekend, 15th of April. Please freeze the venue, date and time. I will not be present as I am going to Nellore, a very sudden and unexpected trip. I will be back on Monday. I request you to go ahead with the meeting this weekend. -- Thank you. with regards, PRASANTHI. When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Ok lets have the meeting on 15th, there are only few responses as of now, so why not have it at some place like Ratanji's house, if its acceptable to him. What do you say Ratan? Else lets have it in Public Gardens in the evening at 5pm, lets go to once place now and later on decide, no point shooting mails for the venue. One of us fix a place which is mostly convenient to most of us and then shoot the mail. Till now the confirmation is from 1. Ratan 2. Ravi 3. Chaitanya So respond who else is coming ASAP. Cheers Chaitanya
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Its a pleasure for me if we can meet at my place. And I am also ok with any venue as long as the day is Sunday. If by Saturday evening we are not able to gather more members, then Sunday we are meeting at my place. Ratan - Ahhh...imagining that irresistible new car smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo! Autos.
[tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Friends, I announce the meeting on April 22nd, 5 pm to 7 pm, KrishnaKanth Park. Agenda already mailed. (Dr. Sundar will be out of station till 19th. He is going to attend a seminar in Jharkhand. As the coming meeting is a crucial one, I wish he too should participate). Yeah. Please prepare for the meeting. Please come up with your points on each topic. Instead of discussing without any cue, let us discuss on Thinking Hats way. At least the abridged model of it. If we have two alternatives for an issue, let us all think about the pros at a time and cons the next time. Similar to all options. Then we need not fight :) Based on the list, we can take a decision. Now that we have two weeks, we have ample time. So please decide. I hope that all our members be present for the meeting. Also please bring the new members that you introduced. Meeting with like-minded groups will be conducted in May. We will decide the schedule later. Date: 22nd April Timings: 5 pm to 7 pm Venue: Krishnakanth Park I am also late at times. Let us all be on time and also keep the time in mind and discuss. If we all co-operate, we can conduct the meeting well and have a fruitful discussion. Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
I will not be attending the meeting on 22nd April (purely because of personal reasons). I am very sorry about that.I could see that the venue is Krishnakanth Park, timings are well too. But I am booked for that day, for the last 5 years and for years to come. Sorry about that (not about being booked, but for NOT BEING ABLE TO ATTEND the monthly meeting, which I know by all probability that an important one). Ratan - TV dinner still cooling?

Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
I do not think so that personal days like Marriage Day are unimportant. They are the most precious days. If 29th is acceptable to all, fine. Or else we have to wait for the May's regular meeting on first weekend, May 6th. But I think we should meet in April. When is the question!! I know Saturday is not possible for you. -- Thank you. with regards, PRASANTHI. When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
I have made a point that I will attend all the monthly meetings, probably some of you have already noticed that I have been attending all the meetings for the last 6-7 months non-stop. I missed only one because it was held on a Saturday and well, as I work for 6 days a week, I cannot make it on a Saturday. I remember attending the luncheon meeting while on my way to Railway station to board the train at 4pm and I was directly picked up from the restaurant. I was okay for 1st (and we attended the function at Satyakrishna's place), was okay for 8th (and prepared a thermocol cut-out of the logo I had planned for TMAD), I am free for 15th and am free for 29th too. I want to dedicate 22nd to family/wife and hence cannot attend. Though it pains a lot to write about the absence immediately after the meeting date is announced, still I am helpless about it. I am free for any Sunday meeting and as Suresh suggested, let us stick to one particular Sunday and one particular time, so that we need not be reminded neither someone shall take the pain to remind. Its everyone's business, why there need to be a personal reminder? Ratan - Bored stiff? Loosen up... Download and play hundreds of games for free on Yahoo! Games.
[tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
Ok.. then Friends, Upto you to decide: We have again questions. 1. Where is the venue? There is a reason for us to select public places. Once again, confirm. Do you want public places or our regular venue? 2. Timings. As it is summer, we thought of conducting meetings in the evening. So morning or evening? These are the suggestions: 10 am to 12:00 pm or 5 pm to 7 pm? 3. Date 15th or 29th of this month? I request a response from all of you. Please reply to the same thread. Yeah. Once we finalize these things, they will be fixed. We will not remind. Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
My Options, 1. Venue: Any Place is fine 2. Timings: Any time 3. Date: 15th or 29th, any thing -Chaitanya
Re: [tomakeadifference] Re: Monthly meetings-An introspection
- I Prefer public places or paks for meetings as it will be more pleasant and relaxing. Ofcourse, seriousness and commitment needs to be there. Anyways, i am not very particular on that. *Keeping the climate in mind, i think we will with regular venue this time.* - If it is a park, 5-7 PM will be appropriate otherwise 10-12 AM is better. One more point is that *we can spend the rest of the day in some activity, if the meeting is in the morning.* - 15th is fine with me but we will miss Dr.Sundar, who can guide us on Medical Campaigning. But still we can discuss other things rather than waiting till next month. Regards, Ravi.
