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.

    yep, it was great meeting you there. And to know about what you blog. Btw I've had the best experience on keeping fishes by breeding siamese fighting fish. they are just awesome to watch when they breed. But they lay eggs and hatch. you should probably google it though :)

  27. Sandhya: I loved it too!

    Anwin:Wow! U bred fighetr fish? ust google it.

    Thinking aloud: :-) If you say so!

    Sweetsticky: Well, Roshan,Anwin and a few others to be more specific. ;-) :-)

    Guto: yes--The pizzas were yummy!

    Hey, I read your article on the bloggers' meet in Westside. It was great!

    And it seems I too am going to get my '1 column of fame'. My article on this meet is set to appear in a little-known but well-respected weekly tabloid called Intelligent Pune (March 28th issue). I know it ain't much, but somethin is better than nothing, isn't it?
