Hey,
Any news on who all are coming?

Ajay – Thanks for linking the post on your blog. As for bloggers coming, well ME and AMIT for sure will be there. Plus I think, Yazad and couple of others are also coming. Hopefully..you will be joining us too.

As for the confusion with the name…

Sakshi is the correct spelling, when used without the surname.
Or
Saakshi O. Juneja…is used along with the surname.

Ya..I know I got sucked in the Numerology game as well.

Hey Sakshi,

No probs about the post. Just spreading the news.

Like I said, I can’t promise but will do my best. Will post and let you know. I had already made plans a lot prior to that for lunch and a movie, and I hate cancelling out.

Confusing story about your name. What if someone uses your full name and surname with a single A or your name only with a double A??

Ajay – Sakshi Juneja (accepted BUT not that good), Sakshi (by itself, great !), Saakshi O. Juneja (damn good !!!)….(Saakshi…a definate NO NO !!)

Hope this clears things out !!!

heya,

I own a blog called Utekkare.

It is an increasingly prominent possibility that I might be coming for the bloggers meet.

Is there a flag or just some amazingly raucous laughter I can follow to find my way once I reach TGIF?

Even a phone number would do wonders…

utekkare,

hey Sakshi – if you manage to use your wonderful investigative talent to find out – ill be very impressed! Indian Capitalist is a most amusing character – i came across him in the Guardian blogs and he used to liven up the debate no end. Of course when he sees this posted here he’ll be very pleased no doubt!

Dear Ms. Saakshi O. Juneja,

You’re at the meet up right now aren’t you & you’re having a ball! Wish I could be there with you all but just couldn’t make it this time. Will wait for the report (& pics?!) & wait for next time’s meet.

Think I’ll organise one myself, just to make sure I can get the timings right

Not a bad watch. Some scenes are brilliant. And some, not so.
