Seven Guys and One Gal

It was Sunday and I was waiting for the clock to strike 6 p.m. to be there at the Blogger's meet. But there was a hitch, I had to break my fast and go, and that would take sometime. Had anyway told Arun about it. So at 6:20, I zoom out in my Maruti (and still some people think it’s a Toy car). On a day when u want to reach early, all trouble comes ur way. A huge traffic jam, at that very moment, Arun calls to ask, where am I? In the next 10 minutes, there I was at Bombay Stores.

The first person I see is Arun, knew that it was him right away, he had the Camera dangling in his hand. And the rest of the gang sitting there. First thing Harry questions is the color of my bag. I had lead these guys on a wild goose chase by telling them that I shall walk in with a beige bag. There was a lot of discussion as to the color of my bag, but I still say its beige. :) All said and done, the entire crowd, Arun, Harris, Suresh (God), Satish, Anand, Indra and ofcourse, me the great, walked over to the cafe inside Bombay Store. The conversation just picked up, what made u blog, who was responsible for ur start blah blah. There was our Harris asking each one of us questions like, do u like big comments or something small and funny. Also the question of do big blogs interest u were debated. And suddenly, the parent in Satish, took over, and he walked away into the fading sunlight, promising to stay in touch. After all, duty calls. The photographer in Arun, was waiting to lay his hands on the gadget and before Satish could say Good Bye.

After the first round at Coffee Day, we decided to take a walk down MG Road and see if there was something to eat. We stopped in front of Lakeview. But God said No! No one had the nerve to tell God come on, we can go here. God said ICH (India Coffee House) and the crowd moved on. Meanwhile talking and exploring each other's views and tastes. We walk into ICH, unwelcome guests, that guy has about half an hour to close shop. He bangs the menu card and says, Quick order! Now that was a Tall Order. God immediately decided and the rest of the group followed suit, minus Harris and Me. Harris had a Cadmium battery to charge himself, (please check with him for further details.). We requested the guy next table to please click a snap of ours, to which he obliged. Guess Arun feels that this may not be a good one, right Arun?

The blogger community of Bangalore, has come to the following conclusion

1. Create a community blog, which will be the first of its kind(I suppose)
2. 8 are a good number for the first blogger’s meet. We hope more people join us soon. Are u listening floatingcreeper/Kartik?
3. His Highness Maltesh would be there at the next Bangalore Blogger's meet.
4. Princess Suku comes back to blogging ASAP
5. Arun would post the photographs ASAP, maybe even use Anand’s site for hosting the pics.
6. Everyone agreed that Tania’s blog on the Groom hunt was the best one in the past few days.

Slowly the group drifted into their own world. It was time to say Good Bye and till we meet again, here's three cheers to the Bangalore Bloggers. Thanks Guys for being there and making it possible. It was great meeting u and I hope we meet again very soon.

Cya later Alligator :)

P.S:U could also read another report on the same meet on Harris's Blog.
