First Blogger Meet ~ Connected Hum Tum


We have this IBL currently going on blogadda, where I am a part of this wonderful team Westerlies.


We have super active group on Whatsapp, where we chat like maniacs. Believe it or not we have upto 400 to 500 unread messages if not checked for around 3 to 4 hours. We have hooked upto each other and bonded really well and like our captain rightly said we have truly unplugged without even meeting each other!!!

One day there was this discussion going on our group about attending a bloggers meet at hotel Leela, which I later came to know was the Indiblogger meet, it went on as below:

29th May, 2013

I was around 07:30 pm I land up at the banquette hall of the Leela, and as I enter it’s an experience like never before that follows. Here I was to find out what 'Connected HumTum' is all about. I was equally excited to know who the six women actually are, are they the celebrities, socialites or some kind of achievers.

And finally Zee TV unveiled the six courageous women who were already sitting amongst us, and I must say I was surprised to know that these weren’t any celebrities or socialites but just commoners, bearing one of course the self made RJ Malishka !!!

We were shown one of the episodes and also told how the participants were trained to use the camera for over a period of around one year and how they had to speak to the camera for atleast one hour everyday.
There was an interactive session where some of us asked questions to which the participants and the director gave candid answers. And here’s what the six courageous women had to say.

Preeti Kochar, a dentist, belly-dance instructor asked herself - “Women marry for love and care – do I really get that in my marriage?”

Mahima Chaudhary, no not the bollywood girl, but a struggling actress , had a question Whether her family will accept her dream of becoming an actress? Will she be able to overcome the chasm between her family, her boyfriend and herself and redefine her future?

Pallavi Burman, fashionable shopaholic, brand manager, asked – Why should it only be upon a woman to make a marriage work?

Madhavi Mauskar, foreign language expert, corporate trainer, divorced twice, tries to figure out the resolution of her long and complicated relationship with her first ex-husband who like a bolt out of blue wants to get back with her – and makes a choice she will be happy with.

Sonal Giani, an activist, theatre producer, is in a serious relationship and wondering if the parents of her lover will accept their unusual, unconventional bond and give their love story a happy ending.

Malishka Mendonca, Mumbai’s No.1 Radio Jockey, Question for her is – What next? Can she dare to risk a change in her carrier? Will she find a suitable man to settle down with, at her age?

To find out the answers to all this questions embark on a journey with Abhay Deol AbhayDeolwhere he tries to find it all out.

This was my first blogger meet and I was immensely happy to meet so many fellow bloggers and it was a wonderful experience and the icing on the cake was to get a free webcam!!!!

I sincerely thank the Indiblogger moderators for such a quick approval of my blog thereby allowing me to be part of such a wonderful event.
