\nI 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. <\/p>\n

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)*<\/p>\n

So to celebrate this renaming, it has been decided to hold the MMRBM at a centrally located place, which is… Mulund<\/b>! (Well, if you include a large enough region, it is<\/i> 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:<\/p>\n

\nCafe Coffee Day
\nNirmal Lifestyles Mall
\nLBS Marg, Mulund West.<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

*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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
