my first LJ meet !!

2006-06-28T18:27:48Z

This is my first meeting with all the LJ friends. As i was very eager to meet all the guys 'n' gals, i have planned my day well. First in the morning i attended a pre BarCamp for next upcoming BarCampHyderabad2 meet at Barista, jubilee hills. It lost upto 2:30 pm. Discussed so many options on how to conduct and how many we are expecting for the next barcamp, as the first BarCampHyderbad was so much HIT.

I met vandyvandana, psychog, angiasaa and shishira on LJ meet of cyberabad. Here the story follows...

In the evening when i try to reach Mocha at banjara hills, it was late for me.I reached there by 6:15 pm. I am in nervous mood that i am late and thought everybody are IN. I know only vandyvandana, as i have seen her photos on flickr , i was searching for her and also made by searched for other LJ'ers near by, but there is no golden hand for me that time. Even i tried to call teemus on his mobile, but tht is unreachble that time. Then think think think......... for what to do. Got an brilliant idea, visit nearby Browsing center. So, i started searching for them and went from mocha to MasabTank. Finally one cybercafe was there.

So started searching all LJ'er blogs whom i know and dont know, for atleast one phone number. Finally i am able to catch it up on k_n_red 's journal. I called him and got vandyvandana number and called her. But the phone is not reachble, again i'm in trouble. Then i again called k_n_red and took this time angiasaa phone number. As iam unable to reach him, i gave him a SMS, then got the number of psychog</span> , then called him up. He then searched for any LJ'ers at mocha, as he was with his freinds and later called me up and told me that vandyvandana is waiting at mocha.

Then i started from masab tank to mocha and finally got her there. This is our first face-to-face meet and introduced each other. She asked about myself and i made her get bored with all abt myself and she even got scared with different educational background. Sorry vandy, if i made you feel so strange !! Then later met psychog and he was with us few minits and went to meet his friends.

Finally i met angiasaa and shishira. It was very much FUN by meeting new friends and whom you come across in the strange world called Internet. Again introduced myself to both of them and discussed abt so many things. We chilled out for some time and then vandy left and we remain three, myself, shishiraand angiasaaLater we chit chatted for some time finally took the alvida.

All the LJ'ers i met today are very nice and especially very good guys. sorry good gals also. Today i feel very happy that i too on LJ !! I am eagarly waiting for the next cyberabad meet.

PS: If i bother you with my phone calls and sms'es , i request these guys (teemus, angiasaa, psychog and k_n_red)please dont mind and i am very thankful you guys. And angiasaa and psychog can you please post the pics we have taken on our meet !!

I am Babar the King !!

You're Babar the King!
by Jean de Brunhoff
Though your life has been filled with struggle and sadness of late, you're personally doing quite well for yourself. All this success brings responsibility, though, and should not be taken lightly. Life has turned from war to peace, from damage to reconstruction, and this brings a bright new hope for everyone you know. These hopeful people look to you for guidance, and your best advice to them is to watch out for snakes. You're quite fond of the name "Celeste".

The Keys to Your Heart

2006-04-20T09:35:32Z

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is low. Even if you're tempted, you'd try hard not to do it.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you don't need. You just feel like flirting around and playing right now.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?
