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:

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.
