I had already made up my mind about leaving Bangalore Motoring Club (BMC) as it was very insulting not keeping me informed about the meet being cancelled in time. I had reached venue in time and it was very well told by Abhijit that unless until told you must be there “No one would be invited/told about place and time”.
This chat, through Orkut scraps, with Naveen Manohar was the last nail in coffin. A premature death. (happened on 15th Dec 2007 around 11 PM)
NM – Hello sir….
AT – bolo…. why your google id committed suicide?
NM – he he… wasn’t in good mood for ze last couple of days, i deleted my orkut profile, gmail account and everything else
AT – abe mood can’t be a reason??? tell me the truth…
NM – “Am telling you the truth, nothing but the truth” This profile is only for friends who i know and have interacted with !The old one was pretty much out of control !
AT – where you joining BTW and when?? [Kanti told me about the new job offer he had got]
NM – What’s this joining thing ?? I have an offer from Target, but my boss won’t leme go ! Am goin nowhere sir…
AT – what do you mean by this “out of control”?? This is plain ridiculous
NM – aaaah kaaamaaan.. forget about that old profile.. here i am, all new, clean shaven, sleek profile
AT – whatever.. I don’t feel like coming to weekly meets at all. I have started looking for some option. I may join junta at 60 kmph. This is just taking the club for ride by founding and leading members. Damn pissed if I have to waste my time.
I was not at all in mood to come still drove for an hour to come there..
NM – i was in mental torture that evening dooood.. called up a few ppl and then decided to cancel the show… basically, i didn’t wanna come there that day after the bad day i had at office fighting wid higher ups for relieving me early .. i just rushed back home and slept !
AT – dude.. you should know the game….
NM – The same situation you were in a couple of months back when you were trying to quit Convergys, i was going through it on Friday ! [Note : My ex-employer was Covansys, wrongly mentioned as Convergys by Naveen]
ok..
Ashish, just join 60kmph and have fun yaar ! forget abt BMC.. seriously..
AT – yeah.. I told you .. It was very bad feeling when I read your SMS about meet being canceled. I have to spend 2 hr just in traveling in the traffic and I’m god damn allergic to smoke. I get headache in second the first time I inhale CO2.
NM – So, no worries, this won’t happen all the time yaar… Now, do one thing – forget about BMC and the meets… check out 60 kmph too… that choice is always yoursbut, please accept my apologies coz am the one who cancelled the show !Anways, goodnite yaar am gonna crash now.. tc.. bye for now
AT – sure. I don’t feel like coming to meets. I’ll do check out other options available.
Very strage that just one member can cancel the meet.
