Meeting a fellow blogger is a rare privilege, quite an event, one that does not occur often, though desired! So, one can imagine my joy when such an occurrence takes place in Ooty!!!! I've got to liken that to a celestial happening of the rarest possible kinds!
Rajesh, who is the creator of Destination Infinity, popularly signed as DI, was here in Ooty and took time out to meet me and spend some quality time.
Among the first things that will strike you when you meet him is his simplicity, which will make you reassured in the importance of that virtue. Absolutely clear in thoughts, he is a person with a deep drive for a knowledge oriented qualitative life - both in personal and professional spheres, from what I gather.
Within the limited time at our disposal, we shared our thoughts on technology, entrepreneurship, culture, thought processes and the importance of quality in life and at work, among other things. Also mutually agreed upon was the idea to initiate a blogger meet in Coimbatore under the aegis of Indiblogger, something that will bring a lot of us closer in interaction.
And for me, I felt having learnt quite a bit - primarily, on how to be a better thinker and a disciplined one at that, for they say, and truly so, that what one thinks, one eventually becomes!
Thank you Rajesh! And, please do return to blogging soon!
Yes, it is very rare chance that you get to meet fellow bloggers. I am still waiting for my chance.

ReplyDeleteHey... that's so cool. I'd like to meet fellow bloggers also. The only one I meet is Issam. We should get more in touch Raks. I like the idea of organizing a blogger meet in C'bore. We could do one in Chennai also. We can do some good networking and also meet many like-minded ppl. Will be nice.

Rakesh
It was indeed a pleasure meeting you, thanks for writing about it Rakesh...
ReplyDeleteSince I am temporarily not blogging, I will use this space:
I found a lot of synergy in thinking and the first thing that strikes one is the clarity with which he expresses his thoughts. Rak, is a master not only with the pen (keyboard?) but also has exceptional oratory skills. He is highly convincing! One of the rare persons who thinks its good to follow one's heart and do what he thinks is right!
Needless to say, he is very knowledgeable (Ppl ought to read his analysis in his geo-political blog to fully appreciate this). And yeah, he is Very Very connected!
We ought to coordinate for that bloggers meet! And, sharing the restaurant bill is not such a bad idea!!
Destination Infinity
DI
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a pleasure to meet someone such as you and you are far too kind to have written so many good things about me!
We surely must do something in the lines of organizing a meet in Coimbatore and Chennai perhaps!
Besides. the idea of sharing the bill was shot down by me since I believe that anyone visiting my place is a guest of mine and cannot be accorded the responsibility, which lies with me ;)
Looking forward to a lot of more interaction in the times to come!
Cheers
Rakesh
I think I'm lucky, perhaps also because I live at a place to where people easily come. I must now have met some 20 bloggers! Nice experiences!
ReplyDeleteThat's nice of you and him, and hope it was cool indeed alike ooty. my best wishes for you both and ur upcoming bloggers meet.
ReplyDeletePeter
ReplyDeleteWow! 20 odd bloggers is a long list of friends! I did read about a couple of meetings on your space!
If you ever happen to visit India, we should meet!
Cheers
Rakesh
Jeevan
