Been at the Pune BlogCamp since freaking 9.30 am. The (early) morning started with a bang, for once I actually did keep to the fixed time. Melody and I left Mumbai at 6.00 am sharp with a pit-stop at Fariyas in Lonavala for breakfast.
As it is often said “first impression can be very wrong at times†– the introduction session not only had a poor crowd (forget seeing familiar faces or known names) but it was just really boring. I guess one can’t help but compare especially when you have attended a blogging conference like the Global Voices Meet in Delhi last year.
But guess what, slowly people started pouring in…and so did some of (good friends) Mumbai Bloggers. After that what happened could be easily counted as my two minutes of stardom. I mean seriously, never imagined being interviewed by leading newspapers and television channels, conversations with big honchos of the virtual world and all over nothing else but my blog.
Anyway detailed post about the entire event would be up tomorrow, for now here are some snaps to give the feeling of the fun.
drove back to Pune after a wonderful weekend. I will cover some other stuff and pics in a later post. A side-effect of this weekend trip to Lonavala was I missed attending the very first bloggers’ meet in Pune. From the initial posts I see on blogs (here, here, and here), advertisers apparently spent some time marketing their wares during the intial sessions, while the Bombay bloggers hogged some of the limelight during the rest of the day. The meet got a lot of media attention from the mainstream
