Hi @Varun Mehndiratta, regret to decline the rsvp as my weekly pass got revoked by the powers that be - business travel came up yesterday which will see me leaving Dubai on Sunday. Wish you all a wonderful drive

Dear Sand Sailors

Thanks for RSVPing for the drive. Have been travelling so couldn’t msg earlier. 
We have a solid convoy for the upcoming weekend and I am eagerly looking for a super drive to get over with this busy routine - as well kick start a much awaited weekend. 

Will be finalizing the starting points (challenge of plenty in this area) and other details by Friday morning. Till then have a nice week ahead. 

@Ranjan Das will miss you, safe travels and hope to catch up with you sometime soon.
