Bloggers' meet @ Boat Club, Chennai

Boat Club: Though I had lived close-by (R.A.Puram for a year), had gone past numerous times around that area, and read about it in some of the articles in the newspapers, I never had an opportunity (or should admit as laziness) to visit the boat club. But the news of bloggers' meet at that place on July 23rd made me to cash in on the chance. A big thanks to Kriba for organising this meet, without which, I would not have bumped into so many other bloggers, couple of journalists, and a representative from Royal Enfield who sponsored the meet. It was so nice to be there during the evening when the weather was very merciful and even threatened us with dark clouds hanging over.

It was interesting to meet and know few age old bloggers led by Kriba Shankar, and newer ones with interesting and catchy blog names. It was nice to meet up persons like Ravikumar who had written an article on that day in the newspaper 'The Hindu' on the bad habit of spitting on the roads, Chinmayee, the singer who has sung for the film 'Mangal Pandey', journalist Liffy from New Indian Express, Samanth - the quizzer and freelancer journalist, and few others. I want to mention many more, but it's just the matter of time that I am not able to list them down (no, no .. not bad memory)

Reading a person's blog after knowing them makes it more interesting and some times, addictive also as it indulges you to read more and more blog. I was just kicking myself on my late entry to bloggers' community. But as the saying goes - 'better late than never'.

PS: Chandra choodan, another seasoned blogger took few snaps and has uploaded them in his blog.
