Indiblogger- You made my Sunday :-)

What do you do when your roommates ask you to visit some place with them; when one of your school mates is suddenly in your city; when you have a bloggers' meet to attend on the very same day ??? I do not know what you would have chosen but I chose to be at Pantene Nature Fusion Women's Indiblogger meet on Sunday, October 14, 2012 at ITC Sheraton. Being new in the heart of India, Delhi, I wasn't sure if I could attend the meet alone. (I attended the first bloggers' meet with my brother.) I was nervous because I am not quite good at interacting with people I don't actually know but still I made my way to ITC Sheraton at 11.30AM.

I entered the hall and was greeted with the sweet smiles from the Indiblogger team. I am not sure how but yes that made me feel a bit relaxed. After registering myself I joined Aparajita, Moumita, Priyanka, Priti, Pooja; all of them attending the meet for the first time. And then the conversation followed starting from what's your name to what do you blog about and everything.

The interaction between the fellow bloggers continued and white boards were filled with graffiti even before the actual event started 

Keep Up the Good Work Indiblogger :-)

The time finally came when the event starts with Anup hosting it.

In the very beginning we had the game in which one had to save his own balloon and burst everyone else's. My balloon was burst within a few seconds of the game and I decided, if i don't win then no one else does; so I ended up chasing anyone and everyone with the balloon. 

The balloon bursting game was followed by the Mummy making game in which groups of eight were formed. one of the eight members had to be the mummy and we had to wrap her in the toilet rolls. Believe me it was the funniest thing I have done yet. Wrapping Anisha from everywhere to anywhere was so much fun and I'm not sure how much she enjoyed being wrapped up the best and yet not winning the prize. It was disappointing but then we were there for fun, weren't we?

I was called for the hair spa as soon as the '60 seconds of fame' begun in which we had to say why we blogged. I missed it but anyway, I was enjoying myself in the hair spa with the new Pantene Nature Fusion Shampoo and conditioner. The experience was amazing. A quiz about Nature and Science followed and again I had no luck with prizes. Poor me :-(

We were informed all about this new product of Pantene by Lais Koelle who worked for Pantene, a Brazilian residing in Singapore and I obviously could not miss the chance to have a photo clicked with her.

After a tasty lunch with hot gulab jamuns and cold kulfis, we were back to play another surprise game- making bouquet and guess what?? We lost again. And believe me, no matter how much effort our team put on making it, as a customer I wouldn't have bought it. It was full of fun. Then there was a question-answer session about shampoo and hair with Lais.

Yashodhara Lal, the author of Just Married, Please excuse took on the mike, informing us about Happer Collins contest for getting published and inspiring us to get into it. And yes, I managed to get a photo with her too. 

Finally, the event ended with group photographs in which one could get a gift for making faces. Here I got one which turned out to be a roll up key board. My elder brother loved it.

How could I leave the room without having snaps with the indiblogger team?? So there I was.

After collecting my Pantene kit and T-shirt which I'm yet to use, I left Hotel Sheraton at 4.45PM with the thoughts about the Sunday well spent. The one word that I would use for the day is 'AWESOMENESS.'

Seriously, where would I have been if I hadn't started writing and then blogging. Everything related to what you love gives you joy. Attending these meets gives me joy, no matter how my non-blogger friends see it. It's a bliss for me.

"Indian by Birth, Blogger by Choice."
