BA: Oh God ! Blog, please blog, please - please blog !
There were loads of other conversations and loads of other bloggers like Akshay, Abhishek, Ideasmithy... sorry - I can't remember them all, but it was a pleasure meeting with you and a pleasure talking to you. A blast of a time.
Thanks Sakshi and Melody (their posts with photos linked) for organising it. Lovely job.
* For the record, and I quote from Sakshi's post, "For the freaking last time, I am NOT related to Sanjay Dutt."

As I posted on Mel's blog, sift through my first few entries, the reason for Twisted Indifference is in there somewhere.
Nandan's plea was definitely one of the highest points of a high point filled evening. I checked out the bunkd thing by the way. And the offer still stands, you put in the capital I'll provide the talent. For both, the photography and the models. Of course the offer was made when I was unaware of you being married. Your wife might feel otherwise.
Sumit - Dude somehow it sounded kinda better when you said it. Or was it the beer ? I'm sorry, but yes I cannot take you up on the offer for the reasons you mentioned !
Nice meeting you man !
Thanks so much,Sumit!
BA, am honoured!
Had a great time.
Hey Nandan - was great meeting up with you again and looking forward to next time !
Great account! Had a good laugh :D Especially loved the RSS, CSS, tthrrr phrrr stuff... that's exactly what it sounds like when two hardcore techies converse :)
LOL...that was a funny recap of events. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk longer, either. Next time, bring the lovely wife along!
Shruthi - Thanks. I was really lost there for a while !
Ideasmithy - oh I missed catching up with you as well and can't wait for a next time !
Bugger, I never said Sakshi was related to Sanjay Dutt, just that she looked like Sanjay Dutt. No one can deny that!
Amit - Lol...amended accordingly. Nice meeting up with you.
:) checked up dilip d'souza!! infact took up the link from your blog roll!!
Hi Pragni - yes, the D Man is really something. Thanks for the visit and nice to have met up with you.
Hey!
I remembered this convo and was lazy about putting it up as a comment here, but better late than never I guess, here's how it went.
(I think this started when heads turned on hearing the phrase 'lesbian lover's ' being thrown around liberally.)
Ideasmithy: Can't men think with both their heads?
Twisted Indifference (TI-me): We have blood flow enough only for one.
Ideasmithy: So why doesn't it ever flow to the right one?
TI: Gravity...
At this point the Delhi hooker bit started and the case was abandoned.
