The indiblogger team is back at their respective places after another successful meet. The Pune indiblogger meet had the charm, action, inaction, boredom, funny moments, interesting moments, awe inspiring stories, pizzas, etc. that were found in the previous two meets. Thanks Vineet for taking the initiative and bringing the meet to a grand success.
The intro video Vineet had done for the Pune blogger meet was fantastic and can be downloaded here.
This time the media was also present with two articles appearing on the Sunday edition of Express and Times. And we had a “celebrity blogger” – Just a mother of two, who also happens to write for another magazine.
The skit with some help from a couple of volunteers went quite well. Great!
And some great reviews online at the following sites. Thanks guys! Thanks for attending and having fun at the meet. Please read the reviews below for detailed meet related stuff.

I took away some very interesting things from this meet. I am not going to say what they are since I am looking at the next blogger meet.
And Microsoft was also good at the presentation and people were amazed that livewriter was free. Seriously!
I am sorry, if I am not mentioning anybody specially in this post. Its just that I suffer from short term and long term memory loss. Really!
Below is a picture of the indiblogger thug team.

P.S:- I was unable to find the online versions of the newspaper articles. If anyone finds them, please let me know. Cheers!
