Anoop Zombie said:
Anyone who wants to see Renie do a belly dance at the meet, please vote here. he he
Renie Ravin said:
I regret to inform you all that Anoop will be unable to attend the meet as he has a rather severe case of dysentery.
Ch.Ashik said:
Renie Is that true!!! I think ur feeling shy to dance!!
Renie Ravin said:
Ha ha... We have something we call the IndiBlogger Jig, and Anoop would be happy to demonstrate like he did in Bangalore... unfortunately, his gastronomical dilemma has reached astronomical proportions and his outlook looks quite bleak at the moment. :-)
Chittaranjan said:
So should we bring Umbrellas n' noseplugs in case of any 'mishaps''? :-)
Remmish Gupta said:
Guys, I'm quite new to Hyderabad and not familiar with the city properly. I'm new to Indiblogger.in as well. It'll be a different experience altogether for me. Quite interesting! Could someone guide me abt the meeting?
Balaji said:
Hi Remmish, You can call me on 9989926701 and I will guide you to the office. No issues. See you tomorrow.

Sudeep D'Souza said:
For all those that missed the session you can read about it in my blog.
Renie Ravin said:
Sudeep, thanks for the post! Himank has blogged about the meet as well. We really appreciate the reviews and the feedback you all took the time to provide. We've uploaded the first batch of pictures on the IndiBlogger group on Flickr. Please add your own pics to the group as well. The team doesn't have any pictures of the skit, so if anyone else has a few, please send them across! :-)
Sanjay said:
hey even I have written a post on it . Have a look and throw your opinion. Busy Blog
Maruti Borker said:
Check out my review too . Some nice discussion is going over there :D
Maruti Borker said:
I cant post any comments ???
fibinse said:
@ Renie :dude, i have 2 pics on my cell.I ll send t over asap.
Ravi Kant said:
Hey ppl.. u can have a look at my blog too.. and post ur comments...
Renie Ravin said:
@fibinse - Thanks for the review, and please do send us your pics!

@Maruti - The comments are moderated, so they may take a while to show up, sorry! Thanks for the awesome review on the Indiblaaager meet :-) :-)

@Sanjay - We're glad you had as much fun as we did! This was the first meet in Hyderabad, and there's only so much we can do within a couple of hours - but next time around, we'll definitely have more interactive sessions which would be useful for bloggers.

@Ravi - "As the session concluded, everyone had a great experience, which was pretty evident from their faces!! Great work by the team Indiblogger…" - that line just about did it for us. Thank you!

Guys, a word for Balaji - he's the one who called for the meet, and without him, this would not have happened! (And the IndiBlogger team would still be looking for the venue)
Sanjay said:
Cheers to IndiBlogger and Balaji n ofcourse Microsoft(for the hosting)!!!!
Anoop Zombie said:
Excellent ground work balaji! and we had a great time with you and srikanth at the "preparation" before the meet! great reviews @ sundeep, ravi, Maruti, fibinse, sanjay and everyone else who blogged about the event! Cant wait to be in hyderabad again!!!
Anoop Zombie said:
P.S :- Is anyone in Hyderabad unhappy that Renie didnt do a belly dance? cause next time we can ensure he does it.. he he
Balaji said:
Hi Everybody... Nice to see plenty of reviews coming in from everyone. Our meet took a slot in today's Hyderabad Chronicle. Check out this post for more info.... Bloggers Meet in News!
Manjula said:
Hi all, Thanks for the great meet. Write-up with a snap of the skit on my blog. Check it out. Best wishes and cheers IndiBloggers .
Srikanth S Perinkulam said:
@Anoop Real sad Renie didn't do the belly dance even after a couple of requests! Never mind! I see you guys organising meets in Mumbai and Pune. Shall see to it that my friends there make it to the meet and make Renie fulfill the Hyderabadi's wishes :-) @ Renie Hope Anoops's pot is fine now! ;-)
Renie Ravin said:
@Manjula - Thanks for the pic! @ Srikanth - I'll let Anoop answer that one himself. As for the belly dance, I might comply the next time, assuming I have many more beers than I did in Hyderabad! :-)
Vatasal Gupta said:
