ThinkDigit Mumbai Meetup

Cool G5 · 12-10-2009, 10:51 PM

Let's get together this week. Diwali being around the corner I think many might have some free time by their hands. Those interested pitch in to decide Date, Place & Time.

**Krow** · 14-10-2009, 01:11 AM

I'm in. Most days are fine with me, except for Bhai Duj. Anyone else alive out here?

rhitwick · 14-10-2009, 10:46 AM

I'm in...

Will tell about time later...
Days I'm available 17,18 and 19 of this month

**Krow** · 14-10-2009, 11:03 AM

^Cool. Any locations you guys have in mind? Please keep in mind some good food joints.

Also, should we consider Inglorious Basterds too? If possible, morning or early afternoon show as they should be pretty cheap.

Cool G5 · 14-10-2009, 11:53 AM

Pranay, you want to watch a movie?
Personally I don't feel we should go for a movie since it will leave us with very left time for conversing with each other.

**Krow** · 14-10-2009, 01:39 PM

I'm cool without a movie too, no compulsions here. Any other ideas? Damn, I'm hungry thinking of going to a good food joint (like your previous outing @ Sardar Pav Bhaji)!

toofan · 14-10-2009, 03:00 PM

Do take your cameras with yourself.

Cool G5 · 14-10-2009, 08:36 PM

@Toofan - Offcourse, no need to tell

All three of us are shutterbugs, so its more like Digit Mumbai Shutterbug meet.

@Techalomaniac - Good food joint. I just have in mind a good restaurant at Worli but there is nothing besides Worli Seaface in that area. If we go in afternoon it will be a pain to bear the heat. We go to Bandra. There is a McD(I hate but no option) & we can shoot some brilliant pics at Bandra Bandstand.

Tech$oft · 14-10-2009, 08:42 PM

Me 2 in for this meet
Most probably

**Krow** · 14-10-2009, 10:39 PM

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to McD. Why don't we click pics and eat elsewhere? I mean cmon, no McD PLEASE.

@ Tech$oft Confirm whenever possible if you are in.

Cool G5 · 15-10-2009, 11:07 AM

Yeah ok. I too hate McD.
Is Bandra Bandstand OK for you guys?

Saturday or Monday

Sunday hum thoda bishram lena chahte hai

Anytime (after 11A.M ), anywhere (where a mall is nearby, so that we can at least get cool down if too tired from heat :-P )

**Krow** · 15-10-2009, 03:47 PM

Monday is Bhai Duj if I am not mistaken. Saturday is what it looks like then fellas. Location is upto you people. I'm fine with anywhere as long as there's nice (veg) food around and an alternative to crapD.

Cool G5 · 15-10-2009, 09:57 PM

Ok then let's fix saturday. Any problem guys if some photo passionate folks want to join us? I was thinking why not take the photography session under Digit Mumbai meet?

@Rhitwick - Any idea about Vishal & Gautam whereabouts? What about your DVD writer? I'm mostly getting my new LCD tomorrow.

**Krow** · 15-10-2009, 10:02 PM

^Hey u getting LCD TV or monitor? No problems if they join. Will be a good chance to learn.

Cool G5 · 15-10-2009, 10:17 PM

@techalomaniac - I'm getting an LCD monitor. Confused between (The very popular) Samsung 2233SW & the Dell S2209W & Samsung P2350.
Which one do you recommend? I'm looking for a Full HD monitor & I'm looking for a 24" but given my budget of 11-12K, I think I'll need to settle for 22".

**Krow** · 15-10-2009, 10:20 PM

Dell S2409W is for 12,750. Samsung P2350 is cheaper AFAIK. I would pick the P2350 personally given the budget.

Where can I get the Dell S2409W? I hardly found only two dealers selling Dell S2209W. You have free time tomorrow? Maybe we can go out & check some places for LCD.

**Krow** · 15-10-2009, 11:00 PM

www.techenclave.com/dealers-paradise

Ethan_Hunt got it so you can PM him for availability and other issues. There is an entire thread dedicated to this deal over @ TE. Read that too. I do have some free time tomorrow. We can check it out sure.

Cool G5 · 15-10-2009, 11:04 PM

I can't wait(Being waiting for close to 4 months now). I need the LCD by this saturday. I hate working on this M$ Vista laptop.

I'm now opting out the Samsung 2233SW & well will get Dell S2209W or Samsung P2350. Hope I'm making a good choice.

**Krow** · 15-10-2009, 11:17 PM

Hmmm.. I'll dig up one review of P2350 I read somewhere.

**Krow** · 16-10-2009, 12:30 AM

Seems like the 2233SW is the wiser choice. PM time and place of meet @ lamington. I will be online by 8.30 AM. Even I have work there.

rhitwick · 16-10-2009, 12:58 AM

Gautham...no idea. Sent a PM to him. It seems he's not even visiting the forum.
Vishal...need to PM him. There is a slight chance that he will be going home for Diwali

I'll call Rohan tomorrow.

I wonder, r we three the only who live in mumbai and have free time to have a chat with our friends?!

Where are thewisecrab, ethan? They never come...

I don't know if they are reading this even...

toofan · 16-10-2009, 04:45 AM

Cool Keep in mind that you are a photographer and may need the LCD for P.P. on Photoshop or other software So the color reproduction should be good and the size should also be bigger. Go for 24 inch if your budget allows it.

**Krow** · 16-10-2009, 08:28 AM

I'll PM Ethan and the crab. Both visit regularly. Ethan is in the movies and game thread, while crab is in football channel.

thewisecrab · 16-10-2009, 09:38 AM

Yeah the CrabMan is out.

Sorry guys, till my 12th is over (plus AIEEE, IITJEE, BITSAT, CET) my folks wont allow me to came along with you'll. (pretty wierd considering I'm online most of the time but I cant do anything about it)

You could say " Ahh Bummer".. I'd prefer to look at it as "Only 5 months to go"

Sorry guys, I hope such a meet will also take place next year so that I can tag along, but I'll have to give it a miss this year too

Cool G5 · 16-10-2009, 10:52 AM

@rhitwick - Thanks for notifying the other guys. Hope Rohan makes it to the meet.

@toofan - Yes, I have that in mind but under my budget there are no good 24". I'm now thinking between P2350 & P2370.

@thecrabman - No problem. Join us the next year.

Good Luck.

**Krow** · 16-10-2009, 11:01 AM

^U goin to lamington today? If you could up your budget, I would recommend 2209WA @ 16k, but otherwise, better stick to P2350 or 2233SW/S2209W. P2350 looks great.

rhitwick · 16-10-2009, 11:21 AM
