On 13th Jan 2004, a group of bloggers in Delhi decided to get together and meet offline for the first time. The excitement, apprehension, curiosity of meeting total strangers - all culminated in a rather successful meet and the formation of a vibrant community which has lasted all this while.
It's the 4th birthday of our beloved community. It's great to have lasted this long in the online world, certainly no mean feat this one! 20 official meets, a couple of unofficial meets, history walks, photography gyaan by our inhouse professional photographers, book reading, kite flying, link-ups, print/tele coverage (BBCRadio/ Delhi Times/HT City/TodayPlus), flame wars, exercises in blogging outreach and endeavours with NGO's … we've come a long way together.
The group has had as its members, people from all walks of life - techies, students, activists, photographers, lawyers, doctors, architects, finance people and guys who make their living off blogs!! And we've walked a few steps together. A few in our group have moved on, relocated to other cities, but are still a part in spirit, and try and stay in touch. As the old saying goes "Once a Delhi Blogger, always a Delhi Blogger!!"
We are celebrating our 4 years in this online world and keeping a simplemeet this time with no frills and fancies - only fun unlimited, whichincludes shooting a video of Delhi Blogger. If you wish to join in on thefun, please append your name at http://delhibloggers.eventbrite.com/ or writeto twilightfairy at gmail dot com.
