When virtual became real--Pune Blog meet
There was a blog meet in my city on Saturday, 15th March organised by Indiblogger and Vineet Rajan.(I was meeting him and the Indiblogger team for the first time),sponsored by Microsoft.
There were some bloggers who had travelled all the way from Mumbai just for the meet. (I was so surprised to know that!)
There was a nice little skit about blogging ,getting comments and losing your readers. There was also a '1 minute of fame' and a 'jig' (where if a comment was read out from your blog, you had to do a jig) There were Pizzas too and a lot of conversation, bonhomie and laughter. For pictures and a better write up about it click here (and no--I havent just linked him because he said nice things about me!) and here :-) [ But hey--thanks Roshan.]
I was really impressed by this welcome video which was played. I think it managed to capture the essence of blogging---I'm sure you will like it too.
