My First IndiBlogger Meet

Its been years since I started blogging and joined IndiBlogger but until today I never got a chance to attend the IndiBlogger meet  a much awaited event for bloggers. I remember, at the very beginning of setting up the blog network, Renie had worked on ideas of meets and they have all been a success.
Today, I finally got a chance to attend a meet held alongside the launch of Asus Zenfone2, the world's first smartfone with a 4 GB RAM.The venue was the amazingly designed Kingdom of Dreams in Gurgaon. In it's auditorium the launch of the Asus Zenfone was organized with Bollywood actor Said Ali Khan making a special appearance. Aditi Singh Sharma opened up the show with melodious songs. Asus CEO Jerry Shen launched the new phone  with 'Incredible Comes to India'. This was followed up by top executives from Asus and Intel highlighting features and functions of the new phone.

Oh yes, it really sounds like a great phone.  Especially the pictures Robert Jahns a renowned photographer had clicked in Paris were too pretty. He was their as well interacting about his work and photography in general.

Over the very tasty lunch (yes, non vej lunch) I met Gaurav a blogger who has been into blogging almost same time as I have been and attended a lot of blogger meets in Delhi. Later on met bloggers Tarun, Priyanka and many others, which really made my day. I have known a lot of bloggers but to know new and awesome blog people is great.

I would have told you that I received Some gifts ( t-shirts, selfie stick, mug) but that would make you jealous so I am skipping those details :p

For those blogger friends whom I couldn't meet this time around, really missed you all. For those new friends I made today. Thank you, will look forward to catching up again, next time.
Thank You IndiBlogger, Renie, Anoop and the entire team for this fabalous event. It was great seeing you all in person. Looking forward for the next meet.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Indian Grill Room - Golf Course Road, Gurgaon

One of the oldest and well established fine dining restaurants at Golf Course, Indian Grill Room occupies the top floor at the Suncity Tower right opposite the Metro Station.' It's plush ambiance and a welcome with the fragrance of fresh jasmine flowers leads you to a heaven of soulful food with authentic Indian flavors. They serve a set menu buffet with varied options to suit everyone. Indeed, there is a little bit of something for everyone to eat. In starters, Gosht Galawat is the best for meat lovers and so is the Murgh Nizami Tikka. Lemon Garlic Grill Fish is something which you would definitely like to repeat. Before starting off the main course, I would recommend their DIY Papri Chaat, where you can prepare the all time favorite chaat according to your taste.  Also, the buffet has some great live counters which I suggest one should definitely try. One of them is of Tawa Chicken which was yum. In desserts, they make fresh Jalebi at a live counter which ...
