Kolkata Blogger Meet -It was really a mind-blowing experience and Kuldip and myself enjoyed a ton. Totally new thing for us. There were about 60 bloggers from whole of Kolkata. So here I am to present you the glimpses of the evening.

  • All photographs have been set to 1024 x 768 resolution.
  • These were the best pictures my camera could click, hence would ask for pardon if the quality is not upto standards known to you.
  • If there has been some mistake by me then do lemme know.
  • If you have more pictures of the event then do not hesitate to mail me.

The organisers, administrators, brainchild of this meet and indibloggers.in. Never knew they can be so jovial in nature. They really made our day. It was really interesting to be in their presence. They were really cool and all cooperative. Great going guys!! 3 CHEERS !!!


The frail and the fragile. You must be surprised if this guy really has some skin or better known as muscles on his body. But friends lemme tell you he is the mastermind behind this Kolkata Blogger Meet. He has organised this part of the meet and because of him we were there. Thanx a ton Archit bhai. You're really great.


The MICROSOFT girl. She represented MS. Well friends, no matter what you said or argued she would not listen a single word against MS. That loyalty. And ya one more thing about her. She is a pakka South Indian and when she starts speaking she goes on and on, and more on, and on, hmmm.....Well, according to me that shows how lovely a person she is and also a good hearted one too. Hey Sandhya it was nice meeting you.



The presentation(s)



One minute of FAME. You really get to hear from so many people. And then you feel that you really have met the whole world at one place.

All the original photo files can be downloaded from here.
