@Vineet.... will try my best to be there... wudnt want to miss it
Garfield said 1 month ago
Tell me something: When is the agenda to be published? I have been checking back a number of times but there seems to be no sign of that. Any clues about what's to be in it?
RUSHIKESH said 1 month ago
@Garfield ya me too waiting........
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Utkash: I am sure you wouldn't want to miss it for the world @Garfield: The agenda is not upto us :) You decide what all you want to do at the blogger meet! :) So fire away on the Agenda! @Rushikesh: Please join Garfield is making the agenda! `
Garfield said 1 month ago
:) Now this reminds me of a board meeting where the one who opens his/her mouth about a certain point automatically is made in charge of it.:) Well, here's what I propose: 1. An introduction - perhaps we can come in carrying badges so that saves us the need to introduce all the 148 (if they all turn up that is.) The badge must display: *Your name *Your blog name and its hyperlink 2. Discuss why we blog. It's done to death I know, but it seems reasonable enough to get everyone to talk.
Garfield said 1 month ago
3. Share tips on writing. This may or may not yield the following results: The not-so-experienced lot may adopt a tip or two. Bloggers will know why a blog looks and sounds as riotous or as silently brooding as it does. The need to write it well and in as simple a manner as possible will be very subtly or loudly impressed upon. 4. Tips on blog layouts or what blog sites to use and why. Feel free to add. I am rather sleepy and that does reflect in the points I suggest!
prashant said 1 month ago
I was part of the fabulous Hyderabad Bloggers Meet. Trust me folks, you will enjoy this bloggers meet. Keep Blogging
Vivek Kumar Pandey said 1 month ago
Its Nice to know abut this .... I will try my best to attend it.
Rishie said 1 month ago
Guys, can anyone tell me how do we ensure that only fellow indibloggers only are 'attending' the meet? Just being a bit curious to know what will ensure this.
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Garfield: Way to go, just check the agenda's for the previous blogger meets. that will also give you an idea. We will look into those, as soon as we have the ball rolling with other bloggers. @Prashant: Good to have you in Mumbai now! @Vivek: We sincerely hope you make it! @Rishie: That's why we have the IndiPolice, represented by Magali in Mumbai. :)
Rishie said 1 month ago
@Vineet: But if I go there, how would they know that I am 'Me'? You getting my question?
Rishie said 1 month ago
Guys, am from Delhi and have never attended any of the Indiblogger meets. But this time around am not gonna miss this chance. I will be attending this meet for sure; and am really looking forward to meet some fellow bloggers and to make some blogger friends. Cheers to the Indimeet!! PS: If anyone wants to plan anything in advance, here is my email - Mohit.Khurana@Dhakkanz.com
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Rishie: Glad you brought this up, but only because we are always prepared. :) You will see, how the validity is checked. Its a suspense for now, but trust us when we say it will be done!
Rishie said 1 month ago
@Vineet: Do let me know in time what do I need to bring with myself, just in case I am required to :) Jus that I do not wanna miss this one at any cost :)
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Rishie: Just land up wearing some clothes. Get an extra pair just is case, it rains! :) are you flying down from delhi?
Rishie said 1 month ago
@Vineet: No no..am already in Mumbai since past few months now, inching up to finish a year!
rati agrawal said 1 month ago
OOh wow.. Cant wait to attend it.. my first one to all geared up and excited..:)
Juhi said 1 month ago
@ Vineet: I want to know how to register my name for this meet? As I want to attend it. This will be my first meet so I am anxiously waiting for it. What is the duration of this meet? Any idea? Can I bring someone along with me? Or do I have to come alone?
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Juhi: There is a register for the meet button which you need to use. The time for the event is mentioned. Its from 2Pm to and would go on till 6 PM. Unfortunately, only IndiBloggers are allowed for the event. So your friends would either have to be registered with us, or insanely beautiful. :)
Juhi said 1 month ago
Well I just registered. Looking Forward for this Once in a Life Time Memorable event of my life.
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Juhi: So are you coming all the way from Meerut?
Swarup said 1 month ago
Hello Mumbai
Juhi said 1 month ago
@Vineet: Y not? It’s a major and memorable event just like first love, even moving on never faded out. :)
Sundari Venkatraman said 1 month ago
This is a new experience for me. Looking forward to it. :)
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Swarup: Hello IndiBlogger? :) @Juhi: Why don't you take part in the Apollo Billion Hearts Beating contest. If you win, you not only win the cash prize but also return tickets to Meerut
Juhi said 1 month ago
@Vinnet :) Thanks for yr suggestion but I would like to play safe.
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Sundari: Vanakkam! Look forward to seeing you there too! @Juhi: Either which way, you will get a special mention for coming all the way from Meerut! You truly are an inspiration to all IndiBloggers!
lokesh said 1 month ago
Ya want to meet...
Juhi said 1 month ago
@Vinnet Thanks a Lot. Actually my husband would transfer there, so I will go with him before settling. That is the reason I asked u, “Can I bring someone along with me? Or do I have to come alone?” Chloromint Clear? Par Ab Dubaraa Mat Poochhna!! Later I would add Meerut/Mumbai as location in my blog.
Vineet Rajan said 1 month ago
@Juhi: Now it makes more sense! Hehe. Good to see so many more registrations! There is a big surprise for everyone at the meet! I mean really big!
Swapnil Kale said 1 month ago
Really interested to meet all you guys! Anyone writing about technology we can get in touch and talk about some important great ideas, simple message me or something and we can probably get to know each other better before the meet.

Barely 5 days to go. I really am looking forward to this. Ice-breaker meet in advance, anyone? At least for the shy introvert first timers (like me) so that we'll know at least one person on D-Day? :)
Renie Ravin said 3 weeks ago
@Kima - Ice breaker sounds good! Hello Everybody. It's been 31 years since my last confession. I have not blogged in months. Thank you. Who's going to post the 100th comment?! :-)

@Sagar: I'm gonna shuttle from Pune. When do you plan to leave for Mumbai?
Kima said 3 weeks ago
@ Binaryday - dropped out from there :D That's where I started blogging. You... ermm know me? :) @ Renie - How about starting a topic at the forum section to plan and discuss this pre-event "bash"? :D
Hemal Shah said 3 weeks ago
Saturday sounds good for an Ice breaker! I am not sure if i can make it, but yes, will try nevertheless..
Vijeeth Shetty said 3 weeks ago

Vineet Rajan said 3 weeks ago
Juhi: We will stick to the time as much as possible. Our agenda should get over on time. About surprises, let them just be surprises. :)

xyzandme said 2 weeks ago
3 years of blogging, an indiblogger account and being registered to this meet.. Is that enuff or indipolice will kick me out?
Garfield said 2 weeks ago
I have a question: How is Indiblogger.in to verify the identities of bloggers attending the event? I see you have asked for no identification as yet.
Srinivas Kulkarni said 2 weeks ago
Certainly... after two yrs is a long time... hope this one is exciting.....
Renie Ravin said 2 weeks ago
@Garfield - you'll be logging in with your IndiBlogger credentials at the registration. :-)
Garfield said 2 weeks ago
That's a good identification process. But I am in a mood to raise a ruckus today and I was wondering what if A sends B - with all the credentials in tow - to attend? What then? :)
Addy said 2 weeks ago
Guys! I am so badly wanted to but couldn't attend the meet, how about a live coverage of the event on twitter? Awesome idea, specially when everyone would be drunk! :P :D
Arif said 2 weeks ago
One more day to go for the grand Indiblogger Mumbai Meet! :)
Arif said 2 weeks ago
@Addy, Haha!
Juhi said 2 weeks ago
@Vineet Please solve this equation...I am told to come 5 mint prior 2pm but if all 263 attendees [half kar ko 263 ka if not 263 ]comes 5 min prior then how long registration will take? n then wht time rest prog would start n then so on....tan tana tannnaa......
Mohan said 2 weeks ago
I'm in too... Registration #264. see u all tomorrow in aamchi mumbai!
Kima said 2 weeks ago

Hemal Shah said 2 weeks ago

Kunal Bhatia said 2 weeks ago
I don't want to be the part-pooper, but I will not be able to make it :( :(
Kima said 2 weeks ago
Hope more people don't cancel :( I'm already in office, which is like 20mins away from Sea Princess :) Just an hour remaining for the meet to start. :)

Vijeeth Shetty said 2 weeks ago
Surely had a real good time last evening.. Made some new friends.

One Question: when so many people registered then y less people turned up? That disappointed me and I think Indiblogger's team as well.

Hey Vinnet!! Quite strange that i didn't post my Indiblogger's link in Reviews post then how come it's posted on it's own?
