Chennai girl went visiting the Nawabs of Hyderabad last weekend. Some snapshots:
 |
| That is the Gardener At 60. But mistake her not: she is one enthusiastic girl and has connections all over the city. If you are lost in any of the Nawab's cities, you may consider leaving a comment on her blog. |
 |
| This is the gamer from Gaming Garage. Be careful--if you use his photographs, please ensure you give him the credits. In btw, Sammy--Please, I took this photo! He also ate chocolate fantasy quietly and never shared it. Gamer with chocolate addiction:) |
 |
| This is our blogger in black and white t-shirt is from Crack the Sky. He did crack the sky that day--skies poured buckets and buckets of water till I wondered if I should get the Gardner to teach the sky a thing or two about water conservation. |
 |
| Blogger alert: This is the group you want to follow, ahem try to see if you can squeeze a seat near them. The guy in action is from CoolPCTips (Alexa 40,000 and PR5). The lady is from Restless Fingers, connected to publishing groups, writers and poets and media. Smile as best as you can when you meet her! The guy at the head of the table is Gautam who blogs at Gautam but who turned Raja Siddhartha for the occasion--the man behind the meet! |
 |
| The man in the foreground is quiet and humble Subho of Subho's Jejune Diet who amongst writing about time management and improving your Linkedln profile, also tends to include something about tea in many of his posts. You don't believe me? Go check. His order for a cuppa created a flurry across the table and two other people ordered the same Darjeeling Tea:) |
 |
| This is our sweet blogger from Oh, I Juggle without her juggling balls at the moment. Some minutes later they came and then all of us helped juggling! |
 |
| Each and every person around the table is a blogger--can you believe it? They spend their time writing, uploading photos, letters, poems, essays, tips, games, links and then reading other folks's posts--poems, photos, essays, tips! The younger ones are being mentored for future blogging. |
 |
| Bloggers and their math. Somebody write a blog on this! |
Adorable! Nice to know the bloggers. The last pic is the best :).
ReplyDeletehahaha..the last pic was even better live:)
DeleteTotally second that! ;) Wish you all the best!
DeleteThanks!!! Will pass it on to Hyd bloggers--they deserve the kudos:)
DeleteThat was a nice meeting and I think you had some interesting moments :) Who arranged this and how, by Indiblogger?
ReplyDeleteGautam arranged this via indiblogger. I have asked him to respond to this comment.
DeleteHere is how to organize a meet through Indiblogger...
Delete1. Sign in to Indiblogger
2. Go to the meets page... http://www.indiblogger.in/meets/
3. Click on "Organize a meet" button in the right sidebar.
4. Fill in the details and submit.
5. Your part is Done. There is no step 5.
Now, an Indiblogger admin will approve this meet request and after that the meet page will be live on the Indiblogger website under the "Upcoming Meets" section.
All the bloggers from that city will also get auto-generated email invitation to the meet.
Hope that helps. :-)
Hope to be part of any future meet in Hyderabad.

Deletethe magic of the evening was made special by your presence too, Bhavana. thanks for such a beautiful photo-essay on the event. i know what i should be wearing for future bloggers meets - a 'black tea' shirt - with 'quiet and humble' written in fluorescent green.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Subho! Hahaha--I will be waiting for that t-shirt. And in btw will you be blogging about that last pic?
DeleteBut where is the Earthwoman in the pics?

ReplyDeleteJust half a day, Sunaina!!! But it was the funnest 1/2 day I had:) Why weren't you there at the meet?
DeleteIf I knew that you were coming, I would have definitely attended. :|
DeleteI'll rmr the comment and not attend future ones ;)
ReplyDeleteplease don't....beg you (crying loudly)
DeleteMeeting fellow bloggers can be fun and I can see you had it in great measure. Apart from Indiblogger meets, these mini meets are a good way to connect with other bloggers in a more personal way. Thanks for the intro and the links. But where are you?
ReplyDeleteI am in everybody's heart, Zephyr:):)
DeleteThats what people tell me--mini meets are personal and sweet way to connect.
Nice to see the bloggers together Bhavana. Lucky you. Awaiting the bangalore edition of bloggers meet.
ReplyDeleteYes, lucky lucky me. If there is Blore edition I will be there for that too!!!
DeleteNice post Bhavana. Loved the way you described each one of us. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso, please send me the other pics from the meet.
You are welcome, Captain!!! Doing my bit!
DeleteThis is so so so cool. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen do I get to meet you :(
D, you live in Bay area, is it? The closest I get this year is New Mexico. If perchance I am near you (and I often do go to SFO)we will meet. It must be hard, right, D, not being able to have these meets that seem to happen so frequently in India?
DeleteSF Bay Area it is. That sounds like a great idea :).
DeleteI wish I can attend one of such meets. Saw the pictures on FB as well. Must be a great experience.
ReplyDeleteYES Saru!!! It is an awesome experience--loved it every little bit!
DeleteNice to see some Nawabs of Blogosphere there.. BTW, why have you put this in the weird section ? :o
ReplyDeletewell, isn't it weird to find blognames whose posts emerge magically some moment on your screen and on whose posts, your comments are miraculously followed by other typed comments??? And then to discover them in flesh, walking, drinking, laughing and coughing...it is weird:)
DeleteCool! Looks like you all had loads of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWe did, Shilpa!!! Thanks!
DeleteIt must have been great to meet so many bloggers and to see them in person:)
ReplyDeleteIt was Rahulji!! I loved it!
DeleteOh wow, i missed all the fun :(, well best of luck for me next time.. You hv narrated so nicely made me jealous :)last pic is awesome
ReplyDeleteNext time u will be doing the post and I will be jealous!
DeleteGood to see the faces behind the awesome blogs..:-)Hope you had loads of fun..:-)
ReplyDeletewe did!!! Thanks!
DeleteA bloggers meet is coming of friends. So glad you all enjoyed :)
ReplyDeleteso true!!! I realized it only now!
DeleteThanks for the pictures. Must have been a memorable meet.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. Specially because it was my first:)
