But only five of us turned up for this time’s Bloggers’ meet. At the sylvan settings of IIT, Mumbai. We welcomed our newest entrant who has expanded the Famous Five: Manju. And we missed the amiable and gentle Harekrishnaji, who, however, remembered and called us on the phone during our anecdote-swapping. catching-up-with-what-we-have-been-up-to, dissecting-common-blogfriends talkathon.
And then it was, as one of my daughters’ storybooks puts it, “talk, talk, talk, talk”. With some serious munching and lake-viewing and thoughful-and-interesting gift-giving and not-so-serious banyan-root-swinging in between.
The Internet, as we know, is all about links. Interestingly, at this meet, three of the bloggers (with a shared geography and culture) re-enacted this virtual phenomenon of linking by digging deep into their histories and came up with so many amazing links – people who they all know, common friends and acquaintances. The other two were fascinated witnesses to this linking phenomenon. And we realized that it really is a small world.
Would you not love to link up in reality with your blog-friends, too?

You all must have had a great time. Sharing anecdotes and memories with people who share your wavelength is bliss. But only munching to go with it?
Wow! What fun :) Am gng for a bloggers meet too 2day :)
Of course,I would like to meet my blogger's friends in person..I'm glad you guys have started this club...good job ! It must be real fun ya ! If I would have been in Mumbai I would have joined you guys :( Ironically,I just shifted from there few months back !
Anyways, have fun and keep us posted !
Yes definitely,the fact of the matter is people are getting hooked everywhere on the net, right from building family trees & track dispersed family members & their whereabouts on the net to building various clan or affinity groups on social networking websites. Blog & Twitters have been catalyzers to this end.
Had a great time. It would be fun to enjoy next lunch with your two daughters!

I would like to do that too, and the serious munching part seemed great.
It was great to finally meet you all 'in person'!

That was a great afternoon, and a great post. Hope you werent too late reaching home....I liked the decsription of "talk-talk-talk-talk..." :-)
Lovely post. Its really nice and unbelievable to meet with bloggers as everybody stays in different places and also impossible to manage the time. But I appreciate you for starting this club. Keep it up!
I'd love too. really. People in NCR, lets do meet up :)
Meeting of bloggers ! Very exciting indeed.
I'd love to, but some of them live halfway around the world!!!
interesting! Folks with divergent interests coming together and a resultant bon homie. Would join next time.
nice...it brought to my mind the bloggers meet held in kerala in which I too attended. But I found it was actually meant for novices in blogging..
That must have been great. How did you manage to organize everything? It is always a pleasure to meet with like minded people.
Guess blogger meets are real fun
We anonymous bloggers sadly remain deprived of it
must have been fun!
Must have been fun....with a gang of like minded people...
@ All,
Glad to have your good wishes about our get-together. Hope you can organise such meets and enjoy them, wherever you are. All the best.
