Subject: Meet on the 8th July - Report sabiha_orb

Dear Orbits,

This report is late, actually by a week, but you can contribute it
to the fact that I have been busy with work and no one else seems to
take enough interest to put forth one after the meets...perhaps they
think no one can do it better than me ;-)!

This meet was usual in some ways and unusual in some. Let's take the
similarities and differences one by one:

Similarities:
1. Members (some) who confirmed to come did not show up without
giving a reason (except Dipti who had other plans with hubby)
2. Members who did not confirm turned up (Bobby as usual!) but
that's always a Welcome :-)
3. We had less female members and more male members attending
4. The regulars were there: Myself, Mufaddal & Abdul Kadir who seem
to be the loyal attendees of all meets:-P
5. We had fun. Well at least I did...don't know about others but at
the risk of making an ass out of you and me I ASSUME they did ;-)

Differences:
1. For the 1st time we had a meet in the Deira area.
2. We had the mall practically to ourselves so we could make loud
noises
3. Nikhil attended so I did not have to worry about having dull
moments because he was happy to spread around his brand of humour
and laughter and made sure everyone was entertained (at my expense
of course!) He also managed to shake a bit in an attempt to dance
only no one accompanied him so had to stop at that!
4. Part of the group ventured out to city center to see a movie so
our meet went out a bit longer.

Thankfully this time most members came on time on or around 6:00 pm
apart from Bobby (as usual) and Vishal who had a tough time finding
the mall.

Some members thought that the place was not the right kind of place
for meets...I and Saleem thought differently. For me any venue is
fine as long as we meet up and have a good time :-)

The meet lasted up to 8:30 and for the first time we didn't have
members wanting to leave in the middle of the meet for whatever
reasons (hey I guess that is another difference!)

All in all it was a nice get together with some eating and drinking
and loads of fun and laughter. We even managed to do video shooting
which BTW is hilarious if you ever get a chance to see (you can ask
Abdul Kadir for a viewing!)

Until the next one!
