There's every chance that by now, you've already read atleast half a dozen blogs on this topic... if not I seriously hope you stop living under that rock.
Anyways, so it had to happen at Burj Al Arab but since this is not happening at Dubai and given Mumbai's traffic situation it finally happened at Hotel Sea Princess, Mumbai.
(please don't put that lame joke that came to your mind about how its easier to fly to Dubai than traverse through Mumbai traffic, in the comments section. Thanks.)
Well, Sea Princess isn't that bad either...they have 2.57 stars less than Burj Al Arab but they have parking for 2 wheelers which is perfect for me...atleast my bike won't be towed.
So, I reached the hotel, parked my bike & entered the lift after receiving a not-so-pleasant "you again? :|" kinda stare from the doorman. Second floor Regal Room (or so I think its called) was pretty nice, although few cheer leader won't have hurt either.
Few guys in black tee were blocking the way and before I could figure out, they asked me to move to left and register myself.
Mental thoughts - "Register? Again? Are you nuts? I've already done that? :|"
Just then a very cute girl with a cuter smile asked me to enter my email id. :)
Mental thoughts - "Wow...now that's easy. I can do that. You sure you only need mail id? With a smile like that, I can even give you my password."
Well I obliged.
So then over the course of time, more people started pouring in and every ass took a seat. In the mean time, I glanced over to the tables where meal would be served and realised that it'll be enough to end a hungry strike. My resting ass was infact restless and as I was sitting next to the girl in white saree...devil thoughts had to take over. Glanced over to the furtherest end of the room and saw this giant screen on which live "#indimum" tweets were projected.
And so I humbly tweeted... "Bazingaaaaa.... This tweet doesn't say anything, just wanted to see my name on the big screen. :P"
5 mins later glanced over to my left and saw Ms. Safedi ki chamkaar playing Farmville on her laptop. I couldn't resist tweeting this achievement on the big screen but unfortunately for her by then there was some un-technical problem and next time the site refreshed, my tweet went way down the screen to be visible.
In between all this bullshit, Mr. Time did its job pretty well of running away and finally at exactly 2pm IST, that's around 14.32.537 hrs...the meet started. One of the Indiblogger guys started with the usual "welcome-we're-excited-to-be-here-blah-blah" stuff that you've already read on other blogs. Not to forget he had this very heavy Banglorean Accent which is equivalent to Monotype Corsiva in Oral Sense.
After telling us how much they hate each other, finally BigRock people presented a not-so-boring ummm...presentation.
Oh ya, they're the same guys who gave us freaking cool, creative and yet slightly erotic freebies.
I mean, look at this...
How creative one has to be to come up with a dildo that can write? Awesome na? Sorry ladies, I know this is gross but hey, no one complained while they were distributing it.
And now, looks at this thing...
Believe it or not, this thing write in the color of refined poo.
This alongwith semi-hilarious ppt slides takes the cake for the most entertaining presentation for the evening cause the only other ppt guys were HP blokes who showed their latest look-I'm-so-bored-of-lying-around-I'll-even-print-your-mails Printer.
Then came the part for which everyone was waiting for - *drum rolls* 29 seconds of fame *drum rolls*
At first, it was going to be *violins* 69seconds of fame *violins* but then it tickled a one too many funny bone so finally they discounted 40seconds, down to 29.
Some actually went for the glory giving their Oscar Speech for a duration that almost seemed like 1.7 seconds short of eternity while some played their best Black Jack hand and kept it below 21.
And all this just to win a year long .com domain...huh, what loosers! :P
Here are the top five though (not necessarily in that order)...
"I failed my tenth standard and flew off to Italy to fall in love with a 60 year old painter. But then he died and I went to Russia and got into a scam so I moved to Himachal and have been living there as a yogi. Hello everyone I'm a story-teller."
"I used to blog on philosophy and life, also love stories but then I got dumped. Now I blog only on programming and software development."
"I didn't blog for 1.5yrs and I attained IndiRank 1...and I thought wow, that's awesome. After a while Vineeth met me and when I told him that I'm the best, I'm no.1; he told me its not a rank its percentile, 1 is the worst...you have to reach to 100 to be the best."
"I used to blog on philosophy and life, also love stories but then I got dumped. Now I blog only on programming and software development."
"I didn't blog for 1.5yrs and I attained IndiRank 1...and I thought wow, that's awesome. After a while Vineeth met me and when I told him that I'm the best, I'm no.1; he told me its not a rank its percentile, 1 is the worst...you have to reach to 100 to be the best."
''I have two kids and three blogs.''
"I'm a Man Utd supported so boo to you *Arsenal fan* and you *Liverpool fan* I blog about serious things such as 10 reasons why you should not rape your maid, etc." - These were the famous words quoted by yours truly. *smug* :P
Done with the introductions, now it was back biting/bitching time. Yes, that's what they meant when they said... "okay so hang this piece of paper around your neck towards the back side and let people write whatever they want."
I had a few very interesting things writing on my backpaper as well...
"write something serious like 10things to know before raping a maid" << How would I know?
"how about 10things to do in a loo?" << You're scaring me now. Sorry, I'm not like 'that'. :-S
"Your intro scared me" << Who's wrote this?
"Plz dont be a father" << Sorry no other option, can't be a mother. :/
"you are a lot like me - gtoosphere.blogspot.com " << Really nice of you to say that. It touched my belly button.
"Fuck Off" << Someone please tell me who the fuck wrote these nice words? Takes the cake.
While people were busy, scribbling my back I managed to catch a few half-sandwiches and a chocolate cookie as others cribbed about the tasteless coffee.
And now...may I present to you the one and only Gul Panag. *cord strike*
I know till now I didn't mention her, cause I wanted people to read the post atleast till this point cause from here on half the readers (who came at the meet) are gonna rush away to tweet her "Was great meeting you!!" for the 74th time.
Apart from the usual "can I click a picture with you" excited fan, also saw many "showbiz wannabes" crowding her expecting to leave an impression and get some favors which was a lil lame. :P
Anyways, so Gul was there and we didn't speak much...rather at all. We even came & left separately pretending to barely know each other. Didn't even pose together for clicks so that nobody spread any rumors or sense anything. She was looking gorgeous as always in that checkered top which I never gifted....hope everything's clear now.
By the way, she also moderated a discussion thingy which ended up in more questions and many more bursting bladders. Details of which can be obtained from other sane posts which you must've already read. (I'm still bothered with some of you living under the rock thing.)
It all ended with a special first ever preview of Soch Lo for the bloggers which was something that I'd like to describe as INTERESTING. At the end of 10min preview more than a few females crowded the writer/director/actor guy, who some thought was hot. Good for them.
What followed can only be described as "This is what I came for!!!" - The T-shirt Ceremony. Yes, after being promised at the start of the meet that we won't be given any tees, the Indiblogger team finally gave into cries, howls, abuses and obliged.
Finally the Sea Princess people got tired of keeping the lights and airconditioning ON. We thought we should leave the poor guys alone and head to the real life, and so we did.
Must say, it was one crappy meet. I mean think of it, they could've kept it on Saturday, 14th August or next weekend 21st/22nd August... but no, they absolutely had to keep it on 15th, so that if anybody asks for liquor they can deny saying "sorry buddy, its a dry day." Bloody cheapsters.
Anyways, its their loss, if people can give such rocking intros as sober, think what all could've happened had it been a liquor-flowing, beer guzzling, getting sloshed day?
Okay fine, I enjoyed and it rocked. There I said it, happy now?
P.S. Some names I should mention else they'd assassinate me...
Anubha - She still hasn't treated me for something. :(
Rati - We hate each other. :P
Hardik - He was the only guy at IndiMum, I've known personally before I met him online.
Netra - She thinks we're distant relatives, nonsense. :P
Sorry, can't take everybody's name. Blogpost says, its running out of server space. :/

you remind me of "busybee"(behram contractor) who wrote last page column "round & about in the style of art buchwald for mumbai's evening papers starting from 'free press bulletin', then 'evening news' of times of india and then 'mid-day'. Later he wrote for and edited 'afternoon' which he owned as well. your humour has that class. wish you all the best!

@Disha... hey storyteller, been looking for you... Was nice meeting ya.
@Vikram Dhiman... Thank you for those kind words. No man, still dunno who wrote what. That's why I like it when people write their name along with a comment on the backcard.
@Sailin Gudhka... hey thanks. Hopefully we'd interact more the next time we met.
Oh yes, you are right, i did read a lot of blogs about the meetup.
but your writing style holds out, it is expressed in a more detailed and eye catching way.
keep it up.
@Acai Cleanse Detox... Thank you for those kind words. I'll try and keep you to your expectations. :)
Actually I thought it was a really well organized meet. Not too boring (well, except for a few random moments), not a euphemism for a place to pick up girls and put together with a tight enough format but flexible enough to accomodate lots of people and several opinions. Still, that's only my opinion. I am linking to your post.
@Ideasmithy...
Ofcourse, it was a nice meet...I ain't denying it. Refer my last para...
Read this line...
"Must say, it was one crappy meet."
Oops sorry, not that one, this one...
"Okay fine, I enjoyed and it rocked. There I said it, happy now?"
See, I'm not that sarcastic after all. ;) :P
Hahahaha awesome Binoy. Sounds real cool :))
@Sangy... Thanks ji. Coming that from a professional writer like yourself means a lot. :)
Gul was there!? Oh Fcuk! I couldn't come coz of rains. Shit man!!
@Dhakkanz... That's the exact reason why everyone calls you "dhakkan". :P
To bad for me, I couldn't make it to the meet, as I am out of mumbai due to office work. But guess what, today I got the chance to come here and the first review I read about the meet is from you and it is as honest as it can be(going by the reviews). Well certainly you write good and your apt description super power is commendable.
@Anu... Thank you for those kind words. Glad you liked it. :)
B is that you? I dont believe this... Im badly dably impressed. This is one real good post. Like a killer one. Awesome!
@Birdie...
Yes, its me. Thanks so much dear. :)
@pheonix abhi tak to it is only me who calls me dhakkanz (not dhakkan) ;) hehhehe
@Dhakkanz... If you say so. :P
You noticed very well. I am really impressed by reading your post. It is very nice. It rockz.
Hey,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I think that beauty radiates from you to write such a magnificent article! Keep it up.
