Let's Meet Over Coffee This Saturday in New Delhi
Though I know a lot of blog readers and fellow bloggers virtually, it would be a real pleasure to see you in person. If you stay in or around Delhi, let's meet this weekend:
What: Digital Inspiration Coffee Party
When: October 28, 2006 12:30 PM
Where: Ansal Plaza Amphitheatre [On Google Maps]
Everyone is invited.
If you are planning to attend, just put your name in the comments section or drop me an email. You are still welcome if you skip this step.
Hope to see you on Saturday. Please do come.
Update: Most of the people who had confirmed in the comments turned up for the meet. The best part was that people were on time though some of them had to drive for 60-90 minutes to reach the place.
Thank you all who were present including Cherian Samuel, Ritu with her son, Raminder, Vineet Jain, Abhishek, Siddhartha, Ajay from L&T, Rohit Khurna, Brajesh of nic.in, Rohit Malik and Shailendra Yadav.

Update: In Mumbai, Bollywood insider and Superman fan, Sakshi, organized a

Ashish, Ansal Plaza is on the Khel Gaon Road and if you are coming from the AIIMS or Lajpat Nagar side, it will be on your left side. You cannot miss it.

Anyways may be next time and Keep up the GREAT work.

I would love to join this Coffee Meet. But, I don't think there is any Coffee Shop in Ansal's Plaza. I would rather suggest Cafe Coffee Day, Connaught Place for a Coffee Meet :)

hello freinds,

I love the way u block comments that are fair but still say the truth about your blog
Written on 29/10/06 8:15 PM
Hi, hope the meet-up was fun. I am surprised to see the number of unnecessary comments who ignored the following lines in your post.
"If you stay in or around Delhi let's meet this weekend."
"If you are planning to attend, just put your name in the comments section or drop me an email."

Thanks, Amit, for taking the time and trouble to meet with your blog readers...it was great fun to meet you and the others, and to exchange views (ponderous as it sounds:-)on life in general, and blogging in particular. I think we all went away quite inspired by your life experience, notwithstanding your warning that blogging is not a way to make a quick buck, but requires dedication, domain awareness and exceptional content. Looking forward to many more of these meet-ups:-)
