Meeting a fellow Blogger

How do you react when you meet a fellow blogger. When you see the person you have known and come to admire, for the first time? How does the conversation flow - like it does when we discuss things here on the blogospherse - or like when two strangers meet for the first time?

Am sure each one of us will have their own stories of what happened when they met a fellow blogger for the first time. I too have my share of them :). The first time I met someone from blogosphere for real was when we had a meet last year - with me, Vamsi, Abhinav, and Urvi joining in.

The second time was when I met Maddy. We both operate from the same location (Ohri towers) and the same shifts - but in spite of trying many times we never could meet. Then suddenly one day we met without any plan what so ever - and it was great. Now we keep running into each other, and it is fun to talk to him :D.

The third time it happened was on last Sunday, when I met Abhishek for the first time... and how!! It all started when he bought a bike on Saturday, and in the evening we chatted on phone and decided to go for a ride in the morning. The next morning, I rode from my home to Kakatiya, where he stays - and from there we started our ride, chatting about everything under the sun.

There was no set plan for the ride, and we went where ever our bikes took us. After We finally stopped near Lumbini park and had breakfast and a smoke, all the while talking about blogging, friends, cycling, college days, education system, future aspirations, life, and what not.

Finally we parted at Lumbini Park, with a promise of meeting again in future for more such rides....

If any of you is interested in joining us, he or she is most welcome. We plan to ride on weekend mornings (no specific plans as of now) and gradually increase the distance of the rides. Hope to see you there. Till then,

This is Hashir, signing off....
