A walk from Mambalam station to Panangal Park via Ranganathan Street on a busy Sunday evening will make you lose three to four kilos. Infact you need not walk.. Just stand near the starting point, the crowd will automatically carry you to the destination. On that day, I stepped into the Ranganathan Street at 3.30 pm and it took me 45 mins to cross that single street. The thousand heads in the front and back of me never gave me an opportunity to see where I was walking. I felt , I was going with the wind. Looking into the watch , it was 4.15 near Pothys and I somehow managed to catch an auto to go to Dee Cee Manor, the Bloggers Meet Venue.
In a few minutes, I was inside the conference hall . I saw more than 60-70 bloggers inside the hall of which I knew none. Quietly I sat in a corner and wished I would find someone whom I can start a talk. But then the friendly the Old Sailor was sitting next to me and sooner we started with a conversation with an intro about both of us. One minute of fame was a very interesting even where bloggers were asked to introduce their blog to the world . I managed to say two sentences about my english blog and my tamil blog Podiponnu and I guess that it was my tamil blog which caught the attention of the bloggers ! :D
I met this blogger called Sowmya and we had such a great time cracking jokes and sharing experiences. The skit by Rebelz was hilarious. The skit revolved around the story of four bloggers being kidnapped by a multi millionaire. The skit by Indiblogger team was funny. Aravind delivered a session on Mobile Blogging and it was cool. Finally , there was a Microsoft Live Writer Presentation by Sandhya Rajan. Well, we got cool T-shirts too :) Thank you IndiBlogger! The experience was awesome!!!
