I was pleading this Tech Geek blogger Gaurav not to cancel this Chandigarh bloggers meet in any circumstances. Although Gaurav was very enthusiastic about this meeting but was not very happy to see the turnout at indiblogger.in, only few guys gathered to have their say on this first meet-up.

But why I was so desperate about this meeting, well for a very simple reason, I know blogging will hit the blogsphere scene of this city very hard in coming years, we will witness so many meetings after this, various communities, conferences and God knows where we will land in future with this wonderful thought of Chandigarh bloggers Unite, but you know what? We will be consider the first flag holder of this progression,

Yes we the few fortunate chosen ones who were about to witness a history in the making. To me this feeling was very precious and wishing to see this whirling into a certainty. Now, no body can turn this fact down that we auspicious twelve were the first to witness this blogging evolution. I know all you guys realize this truth, so cherish it for years. Keep on blogging and reach out to your dreams.
