A fun filled meet of Msians on a very quiet, serene & calm greens of Patel's inn,Bangalore MS meet was a grand success thanks to the efforts of Mazhar bhai, Umeshji, Sridharaji, & our chief organizer Udaya! And memorable presence of all the MS members!
The grandeur of the event can be estimated by the fact that we had guests from Baroda & pune! Sajith bhai & Dev bhai, joined us in making this meet a huge success!
We were happy to have Nagaraj ji too, who travelled all the way from shimoga to be with us and share a few moments of joy!
The meet started with a grand speech by our very own Sajith bhai, followed by intriguing speeches by Umeshji, Nagarajji, Mazhar bhai & Dev bhai!
We had a get to know each other session, which began when sajith bhai suggested that we divide each other into teams of 4 and gather as much info as possible about the others, which will be queried upon later by the other members!
That was a very interesting & fun way of getting our beloved Msian community an inch closer, which I am sure we were able to achieve! Then we started a general discussion on some of the common problems & ideas we had about MS, like MS points, rating reviews etc!
A spectacular, photo-shoot session followed, when Sridhara ji, added another lot to his superb collection, and Dev bhai, kept clicking shots of us MSians at a pretty regular interval :)
I striked a conversation with almost all of them, & was able to mix quite well with them, as if we met before a lot of times,clearly defining the power of MS!
To put the MSians I met in my own words-
-->Santosh ji, a charming man, filled with charm and enigma, a very likable person!
-->Umeshji, knowledgeable, friendly & very sweet!
-->Sridharaji- Pure, flawless, a pure soul :)
-->Mazhar bhai - Very helpful, kind and makes you feel very comfortable when he is around!
-->Nagaraj ji- Again very knowledgeable, frank and very straigtforward person!
-->Sajith bhai- Happiest soul on the meet, very charming & lovable!
-->Dev bhai- Happy go lucky, great influencer, perfectly adorable!
-->Avijit- Honest, sweet, very friendly!
-->Udaya- Cheerful, (Pss ill praise you more if you dont post the DP :P haha..) Very sweet girl!
-->Mohan- Light hearted, sweet guy, fun!
-->Prafulla- Very sweet girl, happy, friendly & nice! Probably her dad's influence :)
I wished more Msians attended, but anyhow a memorable start to this new year! MS family grows with us, & will continue doing it in the coming years too!
To sum it up all, -
"A grand venue, bunch of sweet MSians, a pinch of salty talks, a pinch of sweet snaps, loads of fun & a never-ending spirit, stirred gently for over 3 hours, with a heartfelt enjoyment among friends of all ages, and your MS meet is ready to be served!"
Hope we could strike out another MS meet in the near future, with more attendants and even more fun & frolic!
