A handshake to the faces ...



Finally met Narayanan Sir at Saravana Bhavan today. Also met Ambi (a budding blogger). Had a nice chat !

Always thought of Narayanan Sir as

Narayanan Venkitu
Emeritus Professor of Blogology
Bay Area Bloggers College

The man has an aura of reverence among the bay area blogger community for his sincerity and his guts to take on social issues.

He was as sincere and casual in person as his voice and writing on his blogs. It was nice to hear these two guys talk about their blogging experience, the consequences of blogging at home, things in general, India, nostalgia.. It was like web surfing, except this was a converstion with real people about whom you seem to know so much and so little at the same time (now, what i just wrote may sound stupid, but that is exactly what went through my mind at the time).

We should do this more often.. May be a bay area desi bloggers coffee social ?

Would like to thank these guys for taking the time to meet me.

I was thrilled to meet you today. It was fun.

Emeritus Professor of Blogology!

LOL :)...Now the truth came out.!! Now you know that I am a Local Lungi.!!!

I had the same feelings as you had
as we were talking about life and our experiences in life so far.

We should definitely do this more often. It would be fun to get the bloggers in the Bay Area together.

The dinner at Saravana Bhavan was very nice.!

Thanks Sundar for making it.

Lots of mini-meetings like this going on in the past couple of weeks.. Good to read about them.

" It was like web surfing, except this was a converstion with real people about whom you seem to know so much and so little at the same time "

Can completely understand it..

Nice to know that few of you met at Bay area.

What did you have in Saravana Bhavan ? Narayan do you remember those days when we used to have in Kai yendhi Bhavan aka road side shops. Were you talking or eating?

Anyhow good to hear that you could meet in person.

Keep it up.
