Kick Started My Blogging – Chandigarh Bloggers Meet-up.
So, now you know who I’m and what I’m here for. But how and why Blogging? Of course I’m gadgy and techy but not to the extent that I would sacrifice my time from friends, family, life and leisure and sit in front of my system day in - day out. I satisfy my carvings for technology at work. I live moderately, a balance of all the right things at right time. Unlike me, my hubby is much more technology starved and gadgy than me. He is a Web-developer by Passion!
Well, lately my balanced life was being upset because of my husband’s newest passion, Blogging! I was disturbed that he’s spending all of his time in office and home doing nothing other than - Blogging. He always told me about how other great bloggers have their wives help them in this. It made me wonder how would they be managing their professional, social and personal lives.
My bad! I never took time out to find what interests him so much in blogging? Well, he did his best to involve me into this new discovery. So much so, he created this site with all his heart and I had nothing to fill it up with. Not long after, I realized he’s getting away from it just for me. Was I being mean to him? Of course, that goes unsaid!! I decided to dive in with him. All for Love!!
Then I heard about the Chandigarh bloggers meet-up. What is it? Bloggers’ getting together? What for? Don’t they just sit-n-write about anything and everything? So what’re they gonna do with this meet? Are they running out of ideas to write? Many more funny and stupid thoughts ran across my mind? I decided this was the time to take a leap. I had a shift that day and had not slept previous night too. It didn’t seem to matter when I saw him so happy to see me coming with him.
Well the meeting started and people came in to give their intro. The clouds were clearing and I was moving to a new Dawn. Then came a reporter from local newspaper to cover the meet, he asked what was left unsaid. How is this community gonna effect the society? Everybody gave in their reviews. I was amazed with the energy & enthusiasm I saw in every single person sitting in the room. People were so willing to and some had already started giving their bit to this world by way of blogging.
I was already swimming in pool of thoughts about my blog. I just knew what it’s gonna be and what for. As my hubby always said:
“Its All About Anything and Everything You’re Most Passionate About”.
I can’t stop myself from writing Thank You So Much, to my Darling Hubby Mohit for his unending love & support and keeping the trust in me to write.
At last, I cannot miss to mention the encouragement I got from all the Chandigarh Blogger’s: Mr. Bakshi, Gaurav, Abhinav, Jasdeep, Abhishek, Sameer, Rajesh, Sorabh, Preeti, Sukhbir, I’m truly thankful to you all for sharing your experiences and motivating me to write.
I’m Loving It!!!

Welcome to the blogsphere Reet. {WOW am the first one to comment on her blog} hope to see some back to back great posts, ramblings and Off course few tech tips here. All the best.
Abhinav Sood says:
Glad that we encouraged you in a way that you, now, find positive. Blogging is a good thing to do- we need it to know what freedom of expression really is. Plus, there is a lot more to it - people have made a good name, a good business and a good fortune for themselves with the power of blogging. And again, this is not all.
Just maintain a good balance between both the worlds and you’ll see how lovely it makes your life.
Finally,Thanks for the mention.. Keep Writing, and I’ll keep visiting
Cheers.
