GV Summit 2006 |
Tomorrow I am off to New Delhi to attend the Global Voices Summit 2006. This shall be my very first serious blog meet, though I am not sure if it could be called a blog meet in the first place.
To say that I am very excited would be such an understatement – cant wait to meet other out-of-Mumbai (and some from overseas) desi-bloggers.
At times I find it really strange, blogging was something that I took up as a time-pass hobby but today I take it seriously.
Anyway this will be a very short trip (back on Sunday) not that they need me at work, just that my dearest friend is in Mumbai from Amrika for a very short-while.
So with the way things look right now, don’t think I will be blogging this weekend but shall be back with some noteworthy posts on Monday.

Kuch nahi Sakshi, better spend your time visiting kutub minar or jantar mantar. By the sound of it, it seems like lot of secular leftist hot air will be blowing in the summit. Kind of what happened in Mumbai during the world social forum or something like that, organized by the professional Leftist agitators, sometime in 2003 or 2004.

Sonia – Great stuff! So when you down in Mumbai. Hopefully will get to meet up, if you not caught up in your busy schedule.
Shadows – Come on yaar….you make it sound so cruel.
Melody – Thanks…

errr well Sakshi,
I do find seculars and leftists more cruel than so called communals.
Anyway, do enjoy, and if you are bored, I heard Gurgaon and Noida are too cool these days. They have some nightclubs better than Mumbai or Pune.
