Hallowed be thy Blog

It was that Sunday when I realized or I should say many of us present there realized our WWW presence, and how much it meant to us. If I am missing out on something.. Oh! yes it was the IndiBloggers meet here at Kolkata. It was like one of those nostalgic moment when we survive in a second life, the Internet, where each time opening up an internet explorer or a firefox page feels just just like starting a new day. A new day of creativity, a new day of curiosity, a new day of knowledge, a new day of refreshment...

The Indiblogger badge in my blog directed me to a page one such day. It was a bloggers meet that was going to be held at Kolkata for the first time. It said i need to confirm if i wish to be at the meet. I knew from that moment that i will be there. I was confirmed in a moment and all set to go.

Well.. Prior to going any further with my review on this Meet i should say i am a newbie here... and here goes my review.

The venue finding was not an issue and i reached there safe and sound. The number of turn ups were a bit less but people started pouring in within moments as the organizers had to arrange for extra chairs. It all started with a short video from Pune bloggers meet follwed by a short creative video composed out for Kolkata bolggers meet by Archit.

The One minute of fame started with all the bloggers turning up to the deck and introducing themselves and their piece of work on the www, works ranging from Blogs to Private domains. I thank the IndiBlogger team to select a comment from my blog in their "who knows their readers best??" session. We had also had Sandhya with us that evening who is a Student Partner of Microsoft. Windows Live Writer, a handy blogging tool, was the topic discussed by her.

Bloggers Ethics was the topic of discussion up next where people poured in with their ideas and concepts of T&C Violation, Plagiarism, & Internet security. The everwaited dinner was ready for us by then and we also got some cool IndiBlogger T-shirts.

The whole purpose of the meet to me was to Inspire Indian people who blog, provide a proper platform where their work can get recognised, get connected, and over all, to remove any man, un-manned, physical or logical boundaries between us.

i like the lonliness
In the crowd
i think about
a lot of things
i have a friend
in every foe
i know places
far and wide
i know
the good things in life
i do have
a kid in me
i want
to break free
