In the last meet, the most happening session was the GD type adda with the team (indiblogger) and Kolkata bloggers on various topic..

More than the CCD free food / video tele-cast or anything, those who were present till the end, enjoyed that session the most..

Hopefully we would have such session in this one too..

@Bipul you can very easily find your way to City Center, even in Saltlake's maze. Auto will take you there directly. I'm not very good with ways around Salt Lake and none from the IndiTeam know Saltlake (or Kolkata for that matter)...
Addy
Addy said 2 years ago
so I guess I'm your only hope (unless ofcourse someone knows Saltlake better) my number 09956780103
BTW, where are you coming from?
