Indiblogger announced the ASUS meet,
I too rushed in to reserve my seat.
We got off to a rocking start,
With ear splitting music , my drums threatened to part.
Then waiters came laden with goodies,
A treat to all the foodies.
But vegetarian fare far and few,
I finally spotted some and got my due.
A game we played of sharing personal stuff,
People gave all things, including their fluff.
Some gave a key chain and some, a chocolate,
But some, over a ginger and clove too, met.
Old friends I met and some strangers too,
Shared laughter and banter flew.
When Bloggers meet, they wait to spring,
At slightest hint, their blog and writing.
Then came Asus Product Manager Mr Chu,
Who gave a presentation of all features new.
PC ET2040 and EeBook 205,
ASUS promises to be a competitive buy.
Fun and games again for a bit,
Showcasing blogging in a skit
But finally it was time for the awaited event
Minor obstacles were not a deterrent.
Off we ran towards the food
To be in time before the brood
Heaped plates and conversations collude
Spreading bonhomie with every morsel chewed.
Finally I too headed back satiated,
And hope you will not leave this post unappreciated.
And forgive me these cheesy lines,
For bloggers come in all shades and kinds.
Holy ****! (Good curses, they are!) – That’s brilliant stuff! So happy to have finally met you yesterday, Ash.
Thanks so much SId !!! And it was absolutely great to meet you too finally !!
Hahaha! Ash! I missed a bet yesterday – never shared my blog URL with a single solitary soul 🙂 Hope that does not disqualify me as a blogger 🙂
That’s probably because there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know you 😉
Nice poem. I didn’t feel someone could pull it off out of a blogger meet 😀
Awesome! Loved it. The meet described in verse. 🙂
Thanks so much Rachna 🙂

That is a crackling graphic limerick, I enjoyed it through and through. My favourite clip-art is the scramble to the buffet.
Thanks Umashankar ! I am sure the Mumbai meets must be somewhat similar 🙂
Clear, concise and hilarious, all at the same time!
Thanks so much Poonam !
Sweet, sweet, sweet, Asha. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Brilliant indeed.
Thanks Red ! Glad you liked it 🙂
That is very creative. Long time since I met you all. But was out of town – so had to miss.
Hope to meet you soon TF 🙂
I read your hilarious account soon after you posted it, but missed commenting as I hate trying to do it through the phone! You write humour in rhyme, and you can illustrate as well? I am in awe!
Thanks Aparna !! Great to have you here. I know typing comments through the phone can be tough.
Food, freebies, friends – is that what sums up a Bloggers meet 😀
For me, it most definitely does 🙂 What about you ?
