RC India

Its been a while seeing VC Sir in forum .. ???

Glad to see members getting worried over VC's absence
Had sent him a similar query by sms.
Reply recd on 8th Aug "will call very soon"

So all wellwishers wait...

He has been very tied up recently. I won't give details, but he should be back soon.

Let's create popular demand :D

He has been tied up recently  >:D >:D what did he do now  :giggle: :giggle:


PS : Yes we are all missing the old man.  ;D

Tied up? In shades of grey?  >:D >:D :rofl:

Lol

I think he has shifted his house...

No wonder JohnyWalker & 8pm is worried :)

It is nice to be missed! I owe the forum an apology for having been absent for quite a while. Ever since we moved into our own home (after decades of rented addresses), it has been one thing after another. The entire house is being renovated bottom upwards and I have been left with hardly any breathing space. The entire house was flooded, following incessant rain, the day after we shifted. Most of the household effects were still packed in cartons and could not be salvaged in time. A lot of sentimental, priceless items were destroyed that day.

Add to that a minor surgery that almost became major (let’s not elaborate on that here) I have been swamped. Swamped did I say? That’s rather literal as you will see from the photographs and the link. While I may be busy, I have been enjoying myself to the hilt. Pride of ownership is secondary as compared to the results achieved. I have let my creativity run amok.

This is our new garden pond under construction and features a Japanese Shishi Odoshi fountain. Have a look at the video:

Regrettably, I have nothing to contribute to the forum right now as all modelling/RC equipment has been packed away into a 1000 sq. ft. Flat (that I have rented) and it will be turned into my studio in the near future.

With all the happiness, there is some tragedy too. Many of my models, most notably my PT 109 boat, have been severely damaged during the shift and it is going to be back to the drawing board with them.

It’s good to be back and thanks for the honour of dedicating a thread in my honour! I would also like to introduce you to Master Chocolate and Miss Patchy who have adopted us into their family.

Cheers! :hatsoff:

MOD EDIT
youtube link fixed

Welcome back Sir ji.

Woow.. beautiful house i must say.. greetings to Chocolate and Patchy too..

Wow congratulations VC sir. Last post of yours was that you were shifting into new house and were busy.

Great to know you will be back soon that too with such a huge rc studio
Congrats sir

@VC Sir,
Such a fantastic house!
Please spare a cushion each for Chocolate and Patchy.
Wish you well.
Regards.

BTW, what happened to that carpeted room full of aero bits at one time?

Beautiful house , wish you well and a long life

K.K. Sir, if you look at the picture of Chocolate and Patchy, you will notice that they are sitting on cane chairs partially submerged in water. That was the catastrophic day of floods, and they were the only ones who were 'high and dry'. All cushions had been washed away and were found beyond repair the day after!

The 'carpeted room full of aero bits' was probably our older residence, which we have now given up.

rajjaiswal92 - thank you Sir!

johnywalker8pm - keep on walking!

Didnt notice the water vc sir now i see why chocolate and patchy have a relaxed comfy at home look. :giggle:

The house looks very beautiful with that huge frontyard and amazing garden.  :o

Welcome back VC, wondering where you were at ?

PS
BEst place for a Ship is Davey Jones Locker than a scrap factory (After its useful life of course), Hope she'll revive (PT 109)

Neil - thanks a ton.

Gusty Bhai - The PT 109 will be salvaged, but the entire super structure will have to be rebuilt from scratch. If you remember the detailing, especially of the 50 Cal turrets, it is a daunting task. Hey hey hey - thanks for fixing the youtube link. Much obliged Captain!

Holy cow

"The pursuit of happyness - what you do ? and how you managed to get a beautiful house".

congratulation.

Inherited it. ;D

'HappYness' I thought....................                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Gusty was here recently.
Instead of us hosting him, he hosted us.
Put him back five figures!

So
Please visit us.
Boarding and lodging on me.
Party on you

Good on Gusty, I have been the recipient of his generosity and warmth during his tenure at Shillong. K.K. Sir, will try my best to take you up on your offer soon. Thank you!

Welcome back sir and hoping to see your posts regularly here..

Welcome back sir
Congrats on your new house

Indeed if Iyer sir was Chinese  :giggle:


Surely !

here is the pic of that wonderful moment of catching up with Indore Aeromodellors at Barbeque Nation

Hello VC

Welcome back !! A big congratulations to you on the new house. I know the feeling of owning one is just beyond words. Sad to hear about the rains and your subsequent damage of models. However, being witness to your craftsmanship skills, I am sure the models will be restored to original glory.

The pond is beautiful and the sound of the bamboo hitting the stone is like a one note symphony. On a side note when you hear a sound resembling a mini machine gun going off when you zoom in or out, its time to change the camera or at-least the lens barrel.  :thumbsup:

Regards
Ankur

Welcome back VC. Good to know aall is well at your end.  ;D

Welcome back sir...you have been sorely missed.

Let's see: while you were gone.......302 Model Aircraft crashed, 282 new ones were built. 2 Boats sank, and one was eaten by a friendly crocodile.

You haven't really missed too much  :giggle: :giggle:

And no debates took place either!

The friendly crocodile was me  :giggle:

Welcome back VC Sir. :salute: :salute: {:)}

Darn! 3 pages and 49 posts for a stupid old codger who's never managed to fly a plane and bring it back to land in one piece. Come on RCI members - get a life.

Humbly grateful, it is good to be back. Finally! :bow:

So what all has been happening here - let's catch up.

Lots of things have happened sir
You might have read as well about dgca

Was clearing up my inbox and came upon a few messages by VC sir, and realized that i have not seen a post from VC sir since a long time and upon checking his page shows he was last active on July-4 2015 :o

Where is VC sir? Why are we losing our revered elder members?

Some great builders such as roopesh sir,VC sir now no longer visit this forum :(

Hi is someone in touch with VC sir. Please convey him my message that the earthen pots which he asked for are still waiting for him.
I have lost his phone number also.
Kindly share his phone number in pm

Doctor

Hello VC Sir..... where are you..... I am now in Delhi..... maybe if you pass by let me know

Sent him an email (at his last known email address) that he's not forgotten and that people on RCI are still looking for him...


Edit
Regret to report email did not get delivered.
Guess the email address i had is no longer valid...

Good news for those who remember VC.
Contacted on phone.

Will ask him to post on RCI what he has been up to last 2 years

YES!!!!
