Bangalore Indiblogger meet - #SoakNoMore
Anyone on Indiblogger eagerly waits for an Indimeet at their
location. Such is the craze that people travel from different places just to
take part and meet up with fellow bloggers and it was no exception this time.
There were a few bloggers coming in from Chennai / Hyderabad exclusively for this meet :)
Leo, The Fool, Sibi, Gyanban, Harsha, Tina were all there
and also met Pooja, Naba, Thousef, Ghanchakkar, Farida, Suresh and
others. This was my first Indimeet and I had no inkling of what to expect, I
only expected to meet lot of people! Venue was the Capitol hotel on Rajbhavan Road, Bengaluru. Date and Time - 1:30-5pm on 4th August 2012.
(Master of Ceremonies - Zombie (Anoop))
Anoop (or Zombie) was the MC for the evening supported by
Renie, Vineet, Nandita, Karthik, and the many others and he had a list of
events planned for the afternoon. Indiblogger meet and no prizes, it can’t be
that way – believe me! DVD players, bean bags, gift hampers were the surprise
gifts in store for the afternoon.

Introductory sessions with some questions (winners got the
goodie’s) of all the bloggers took off very well with interesting lines and
comments from different people and some heart felt emotions too. The
Indiblogger team had some wonderful games up their sleeves for the evening like
lagori, ball in the basket, anagrams and the luckiest winners were the anagram
winners with all the participants of Team Orange winning a DVD player! Lots of
people got to carry home Bean bags and 6 months supply of Surf Excel and gift
hampers too that had conditioners, deodorants and similar stuff.
After an entertaining and energy sapping phase, high tea was
served with lots of cakes, sandwiches, and rolls topped up with tea / coffee.
After the energizing break was the time for promotion of their Surf Excel (with
vibrating molecules) brand by their brand manager who put up a presentation and
questions and gave away goodies too.
A final note of thanks by Zombie and the end of the event
and an Indiblogger Purple T-shirt and a gift hamper from Surf Excel to bring
curtains down on an entertaining afternoon. Zillion thanks to the entire
Indiblogger team and Surf Excel for putting up a splendid event and hope the
next meet is round the corner :)
