    A comment like that from an avid blogger/storyteller like you is certainly a feather on my cap. Thanks rgs for stepping in and the kind words.

    Akila,

    I do agree with you on this one. Like you even i was very much hesitant to meet new people and that too from the virtual world ....but but somehow i did take some courage ...and went for the IL meet happened in bangalore..as i had virtually interacted with some of those ilites....
    And one feeling or a thought i had in mind is that ..people are not like what they write here ....(not like minded)...but to my surprise ...everyone was so friendly ...all like minded people ....it was such a nice experience .....i really enjoyed it ....
    The love and affection they show to other ilite is amazing ....i would love to go to many such meets ...

    Dear Sofea,

    Thanks for stepping into my blogspace and for the lovely fb. I totally agree, it is easier to open up in a forum than in person. But i sure am glad that i did brave it and came out happy to have done it. Thanks again sofea for the kind words.

    Yes Mathu and me will lap up all credit dished out to us for initiating this meet up :D ... But equal credit to everyone that put aside their apprehensions & fears and came to try out something new!
    But thats how we make new friends...and now we know 4 more people than we did :)
    I look forward to our next get together!

    Hi vid,

    So happy to see your fb. Thank you.
    Photos!! We were so wrapped up in getting to know each other that we completely forgot all about taking photos. We realized it after mathu left... so we decided not to take pics without her and do it the next time. I will definetly post them the next time :)
