IT HAPPENED!!!! IT HAPPENED!!! The much awaited "Bangalore Bloggers meet" happened this Sunday at CCD (Cafe Coffee Day) at 7th Block, Jayanagar!!! [Am i not sounding like some "SALE!!! SALE!!! SALE!!!" pamphlet?!!]
After much deliberations and lotsa efforts from Sreeni, we decided to meet at CCD at 3PM on 24th July. Even the rain God bestowed his blessings pouring continuously all through the meet ( which i didnt like really, was completely wet when i reached CCD : : )
It was raining heavily when i left my place at 2.45, but i didnt wanna miss the oppurtunity to be a part of the first ever bloggers meet at Bangalore!! So, i reached CCD completely wet and i stood outside waiting to get my jeans dry. But, i didnt even see a dim chance of it getting dry so soon. There came out the Prabhudeva in me, i was shaking my legs which would have made even MJ go dizzy!!! BTW, it didnt help anyway to dry off my pants, but made me realise one thing, "i aint tat bad a
dancer u know"!!!
Well, i finally managed to get inside without caring much for the CCD ppl & their cleanliness... Lotsa ppl were in there already, but i was lucky to know Sreeni, as he was my schoolmate, else it would have been embarassing to bump onto wrong ppl :-D
The "TRIMURTHI" were already there, sipping cappuchino big time (as big as i hate that smell...phewwww!!!). But seriously, it was so easy for me to feel at home with these guys at first smile itself, i cud relate to them really fast... I made my way
to the chair, still in my wet jeans [luckily the rear wasnt wet ;)], and the meet had officially begun!!! BTW, I didn’t tell their names yet SREENI (the Rock Star) , KESHAV (the Ghazal sahib) n NAREN (the Mobile freako :p) !!!
For the next 3 hours, we were talking about F1, soccer, Heavy Metal (*sigh*), Death Metal (eeekkksss... sreeni will kill me now!!!), politics etc etc etc... Only bad thing was none of them liked my template of the blog :( :( booo hooo... ( Now listen dumbos, i aint going to change it, till i get a better one :-p). Naren was waiting for someone’s call it seems (read someone special’s call!!!), just like a first time father waiting to hear about the wife n the baby in the hospital, looking at his mobile every other min!!!!
But yeah, honestly, it was so very refreshing to share the ideas (verbally!!), which ofcourse will inspire my posts for the blog in future (yippieee!!!)... I felt real good, coz, i had a chance to talk about the stuff which i never bothered to know, even with my first circle of friends... rock, heavy metal, slash, his guitar, F1, fuel, no. of laps, mobile, technology... woohoo i bet u cant relate one to another, such was the variety stuffs we spoke about.
3 hours just flew like a bumble bee, that too with coffee n strawberry frappe ( I hope im sounding right KKK), and ofcourse some good music at the background, we never knew it was 6.30 already. The Rain God had calmed down a bit by then, and we called it a day now. One thing is 4 sure, all the four of us were heart-filled, and u can make it out in the cappuchino as well ;)
