Meet up tomorrow evening at Mumbai/Andheri

I don't have a problem with you guys coming here. Two things you should know:

1. I have a friend (partner/lover) visiting from Delhi - this is totally not an issue. It is actually a good thing. He's here often and we were planning a meet up with him present in any case. He will fit in our gang. Besides, he cooks :p (remember Pravin, the cooking plans.... :p )

2. The other thing is a bit more serious. We have water issues. We get water every alternate day and we got it this morning, so I won't have an opportunity to fill water again before you guys arrive (though day after tomorrow morning we'll again have water briefly to fill). I don't have a lot of water stored. Not knowing about this visit beforehand, we haven't conserved water so far, so have used quite a bit, as routine. This should be fine if we are okay adjusting and using water sparingly, etc and we can simply buy some if we need. But if we are a large group, this could be a problem.

Baaki, the home is as usual. Come when you want, go when you want. Ideally inform me beforehand :p

Those who haven't been here before, don't worry about it. There is no need for hesitation. We'll figure it out if need be.

The only thing that worries me is the water supply.

It this be moved to Saturday night, I can buy a couple of big drums and we can be better sorted. Though frankly, water shortage is the new reality in this part of the world now.

@vidyut we can plan the Virar meet up this Saturday. I will meet @akhileshjamdar in the evening around 5. Anyone wants to drop in today or Saturday please give a shout here.

Sooper

Is this finalized?

@pradeep yes, we go to @vidyut 's place on Saturday - talk, cook, stay and leave next day. We just met @akhileshjamdar and we'll be meeting again tomorrow - to record a podcast on diaspora, privacy etc If anyone else wants to join an talk about a different topic, you are welcome as well.

We talked about how to reach out to more people, to have more local meetups possibly once a month or so combining bigger areas like pune-mumbai, whole kerala etc. We also thought of making some Indian Pirates stickers and sending to all associates (we still have some money left from election fund). Another idea was to create more 'pirate spaces' to meet up, create digital libraries of public domain data, etc

What is the scene for today?

@vidyut me, Sruthi and @akhileshjamdar will come there by evening.

Mangesh and @rajudv has exams. KK and Abhijith going to Pune. @pradeep has not confirmed.

We'll let you know once we leave from here.

Super.
