    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I drank a lot of beer in this place over the years . Two of my close friends in Delhi were members . And it's the only time I ever got to play tennis on grass courts . The pro beats you by exactly two games . He knows how to maximize his tip .... And after a shower and massage it's off to the bar..... Originally founded by the British in 1913 and in 1947 transferred to India .... I love this place and logged a lot of time there. And met some interesting people . One time I was in In the bar the day Canada found the Air India bombers not guilty { they're guilty we just pucked up the investigation } I was in the bar and the gentleman next to me leaned over to me and said ...... " Garth .... Just send them over here . I guarantee they'll confess within 24 hours " ..... Later on the ride home I asked my friend who the guy was ..... He told me he was the head of the I.B. { Intelligence Bureau or India's secret police } .... My friend told me not only would they confess they would probably jump off the roof after they had done so..... Apparently a lot of people jump off the roof of the Intelligence Bureau building ....

My travel days are over but were I to visit Delhi again Gymkhana would be on the top of my list ......I don't know if Modi will pull it off. There are a lot of Generals who are members .... And pi$$ing off Generals in India has not turned out well in the past ...... I hope it stays open ......

Pperhaps this is where Russia's KGB learned to use high buildings?
They have certainly made good use of their "training" in recent years.
