Wow, Sankar. That is great. Love your interest towards our meet. Just give a try, if you could make it am sure you and RK would be Heroes of the meet since both of you coming from very far.
You need not worry about driving down to Chennai. You can even travel thru any other convenient mode and reach either Chennai or Bangalore from there you can join anyone of us [I think there are lot of singles around, so you will have your own seat in any one car]
