Kingfisher Indiblogger Meet At Bangalore 2010

After a small hiatus, we as IndiBlogger.in, are back with a blogger meet in Bangalore with sponsors from Kingfisher and Kyra Theater restaurant.

As usual the event will be full of fun, knowledge sharing, blogging talks and discussions, networking, and of course the best of all – meeting fellow bloggers face to face and sharing.

This time we had to limit the number of participants due to the venue. And since we have already reached the magic number of 100, we are not accepting more participants on the Kingfisher IndiBlogger Meet Bangalore Page. However, if you are a blogger and most interested in making it to the event, please leave a comment here and at the blogger meet page. We will see what we can do.

Fosters Art Of Chilling Party Rocked Bangalore

So last Sunday was the Fosters art of chilling party in Bangalore. After covering so many other cities like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and others it was time to do this once again in Bangalore. Karthik, Anoop and Renie have been working hard with Fosters for some time now through IndiBlogger.in. And what best way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than to party your brains out by the poolside?

Karthik, Nafisa and I reached Mercure Homestead at Koramangala, where the art of chilling party was planned at, some time after 1:00 PM. Our blogger friends (Sangfroid and his friend) had already reached and they were calling us. Shame on us. Next time we will be there much before you guys ;-) .

The weather was pleasantly warm and just right for a barbecue party by the pool. There were quite a few people inside and we went straight for the bar. Lots and lots of beer (thanks Fosters) and a decent barbecue helped all of us loosen up a bit.

Dancing to trance and club music was another ‘hit’ at the party. How good is a party without good music? The crowd was good, lots of women, swimming pool, bikinis, beer, music, organizers, etc. made the party worthwhile.

Hobbies As Content Inspiration For Bloggers

For people looking for content and inspiration an obvious suggestion would be to write about their hobbies. However, the reason why it is not that obvious at all is because writing about hobbies may not be as easy as it seems.

So here are a few topics that I thought people can write about. Please substitute your hobby where ‘ornamental fish keeping‘ comes.

Topics:

  • Why ornamental fish keeping is your hobby. Maybe you can write how you started it. Keep the post short and simple with a picture or other visual
  • A good follow up post could be one about your current status with ornamental fish keeping and how it inspires you or whatever makes you tick
  • A post somewhere down the line can be about the origins of ornamental fish keeping in the world or maybe specific to India
  • If you have different varieties of ornamental fish keeping then you can talk about them in your next post, post pictures, videos etc.

And so on…

One of my hobbies being reading fiction novels from popular authors I could write posts about the following:

  • Why reading books is my hobby and how I started it when my mom gave me a book to keep me from disturbing her at the kitchen. I could elaborate on how I went on to disturb my mom for MORE books. She didn’t think through that I tell ya!
  • A good follow up post could be one about my current passions with reading books and how they inspire me, console me, help me with my vocabulary, learn the local cuisines and culture of different countries around the world, etc. And all of which, I promise, is true.
  • A post somewhere down the line I could write about the origins of reading books for pleasure started and how they became mainstream. Maybe I could talk about how authors evolved into different genres each suited to its own audience. For e.g. I love spy novels and thrillers involving secret agents or people running away from the Governments (am I repeating myself here… hehehe). I could elaborate on why. Hmmm…
  • I read three main types of novels – Thrillers, Science Fiction (if it is Isaac Asimov) and Horror (if it is Stephen King). So I could write about why I like those specific genres.
  • Then I could run a series of posts about all the different novels I have read and their authors and review them. That could keep me occupied for quite some time. Awesome!!!

I think I’ll implement this soon on this blog.
