Bombay Bloggers Meet – November 13, 2005

(Clarification We are not meeting at Runwal. We are meeting at the Nirmal Lifestyles Cafe Coffee Day. Please do not turn up at the wrong Coffee Day in Mulund.

)
I know that many Mumbaikars are worried that as we have gone for long without a Bloggers Meet, other cities might overtake us. To prevent that from happening, it has been decided to hold an emergency bloggers meet at 3 pm on November 13th , 2005.

Where? Well… it has been noticed that naming it the Bombay Bloggers Meet has had the unfortunate effect of potentially leaving out large sections of the population. What is Bombay? There is Bombay, one of the seven islands that were joined to form Bombay. There is Bombay, which was formed by the seven islands including Bombay. There is Bombay, that was formed by the inclusion of Bombay with Salsette island to form Greater Bombay. So although “Bombay Bloggers Meet” has the advantage of alliteration, it is potentially very confusing. Therefore, the Meet has been named the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Bloggers Meet (MMRBM)*

So to celebrate this renaming, it has been decided to hold the MMRBM at a centrally located place, which is… Mulund! (Well, if you include a large enough region, it is centrally located.) Yes Mulund, in the Central Suburbs, a nice upcoming place where hot-looking Gujju females are out on the prowl looking for a mall to shop in! That is where the MMRBM will be held. Please gather at:

Cafe Coffee Day
Nirmal Lifestyles Mall
LBS Marg, Mulund West.

There are many other places in the same mall, so if we don’t like the place, we can move somewhere else. So do come.

*Yes I did pull out this justification out of my arse. Yes, I had already decided on the venue based on the authority vested in me by the nefarious shadowy C***** that controls the MMR blogging network. The real reason is that it is closest to my home that I could hold the meet and still not get lynched on arrival. Yes, it is a flagrant abuse of authority. So shoot me. But come for the meet.

  9. Hey, keep a look out for new joinees, who ask very newbie questions. Something like this may happen to you. The bloggers’ own account can be found here

    May you guys have a better meet than us!

  10. After following TTG’s link here, i just found at that the guy who did the sting on the delhi Bloggers meet introduced himself as a Manipuri Student. the “manipuri Student” happen to be a journo of delhi times. As I could also confirm that he was indeed a manipuri.

    OK I am also a Manipuri, and I am going to be a newbie to the MBM.
    I shifted to Mumbai only 3 months back.
    I started my Blog while at Pune, and continued at Kolkata where I missed the CBM twice. So it will be first time to a BM, though i can’t be called quite a newbie. I registered my first Blog in Oct 2002, tony_imp.blogspot.com which I only revived recently With “Postings on Manipur”. I had been blogging at rediffblogs for more than 2 years now and was listed in the Sizzling Blogs of rediffblogs main page as anthony.rediffblogs.com for sometime in 2003. I recently shifted to blogspot as http://anthonysmiror.blogspot.com …well do check out.. I am not one of the elite bloggers, my blog was just a personal diary with an opinion once ina while.. I am blogrolled at Sambharmafia and someother blogs.

    I hope I won’t be misunderstood for a sting operator.. I will post pic today for identification. And I work in an IT firm. hmmmmm

  11. First time at this blog I think. Considering that many outside the Bombay city limits work in Bombay, study there…live over half the time they are awake in the city, the inclusion of all these areas is nice to see. It also means that I could’ve attended but I cant as I am not in town. Maybe some other time.
