After about 90 mails, historic rains and uncertainty till last minute, the Chennai Blogers Meet happened on 30th Oct. Blogger Vee-Jay was kind enough to lend us her new flat, unfurnished and fresh for the meet. The flat is on the fourth floor with a private terrace, ideal for the Chennai practice of the roof top cocktail party :-). The meet was attended by Vaijayanthi, Prabhu, CCG, Krithiga, Shekar, Shyam K, Balaji, Vatsan, Nirenjan, Somu and myself.
Started off at the flat, moved to the terrace as the sun was setting down and after liquid refreshments went to the beach for some show of light and sound. My camera was with CCG and since he likes to click inanimate objects more, you won't find much of our photos here. Krithiga had brought the traditional Diwali Sweet of Ukra (that's what we call it in Chettinadu area, she called it differently) which she had prepared herself for the meet. It was surprisingly good :-).

Sun Set
The elixir
Every cloud has a silver lining
Let the light shine
And up goes the rocket

And the meet didnt end at that... Few of us left to Saravana Bhavan for dinner followed by Gajini in Satyam... Atha vituteengaley !
I should thank you for the "Stuff" yesterday Chenthil ! Had a nice time :o)
"Ukra" became "Ukkarai". That's perfectly understandable. (Like how "Pinch the Rose became Pince Nez) Anyway, that's how folks at home pronounced that.
P.S.
Thanks for the links, and the info on Churchill's volumes.
Er., saravana bhavan after a cocktail party? :P
Had a fun.:) Wish you a Happy Diwali.
LIke the concise accounts. I do like taking photographs of inanimate objects. They don't demand model payment nor do they move just when you've got them properly in the frame.
Can you mail me some of the pictures I took?
I will send you the pictures sometime tomorrow. Please upload them too :-)
