Suggestion for Venue Apr 27, 2007

Dear friends,
Balasubramaniam has just suggested a possible location (details mentioned below). What are your views?

Please find below the excerpts from Bala's message:

I suggest Flames Restaurent as a possible venue. It is a newly opened restaurent, with good food and practically no crowd. It is located at the NFD Circle, on the Vikram Sarabhai Road (the road passing before Indian Institute of Management and leading to Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway). This restaurent is

Dear friends,
Balasubramaniam has just suggested a possible location (details mentioned below). What are your views?

Please find below the excerpts from Bala's message:

I suggest Flames Restaurent as a possible venue. It is a newly opened restaurent, with good food and practically no crowd. It is located at the NFD Circle, on the Vikram Sarabhai Road (the road passing before Indian Institute of Management and leading to Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway). This restaurent is just before this road meets the highway at the NFD Circle. Other landmarks nearby are the Gurudwara, Centre for Environment Education, the WIAA motor driving school.

This can accommodate 10-15 people. Lunch would approximately cost 100-150 rupees per head. If we are 10 people, the bill will come to about 1,500 rupees.

I suggest a time of around 11:00 a.m. We can tete-a-tete for a couple hours have lunch and go our ways.

Venue Apr 27, 2007

I've no issues about it. We can have it at a place that is convenient to most of us.

Only one thing, sorry Jaywant, as I don't live in Ahmedabad I wouldn't be able to bring a tiffin...

plus I'm vegetarian, so it may be a bit of problem for everyone if we have it at someone's house.

Identity verification Apr 29, 2007

Hi Ritu,

Will it be possible to arrange for identity verification during the powow?

Regarding venue, Kumud's suggestion is not a bad idea, provided Kumud is sure that it won't be a nuisance for Kumud to have all of us there. Ordering food from outside might lessen the burden. IIM campus is a beautiful place and is quite a well-known landmark and people won't have any difficulty reaching it.

Identity Verification is Possible Apr 29, 2007

Dear Bala,
Yes, Identity verification is possible. I have been given those rights (though I've used it only once) so if no one else can do it...
Hope that helps.

That is good news and will be one tangible outcome of this powwow.

Please also let us know, Ritu, what documents we will have to bring with us, if any, in order to get our ids verified.

Venue: Kumud's Place Apr 29, 2007

Hi,
In that case, let's meet at Kumud's Place.
Kumud could you please give us complete address and your phone number.

Regarding eatables, I suggest that we contribute and get it from outside. That would be less trouble for Kumud and all of us can enjoy.

Is that ok?

Best regards,

Ritu

Identity Verification Apr 29, 2007

Hi,
Patrick is right.
For more information, please visit:
http://www.proz.com/faq/qa#qa_vid_powwow

Also, please note that:
Vidding another member verifies only their identity--one is verifying that a real person with this name exists. It has nothing to do with whether someone is a good translator.

I hope this replies your questions.

Best regards,

Ritu Bhanot
