Usually we go to a destination, but will you believe me if I say a
destination came in search of me? J But you have
to, because, it happened to me. Such incredible will happen only with people like
us, who are challenged or differently abled. Hehehe… But one small correction
in this term is, the destination is not a place but a person called Destination Infinity! Shortly referred as DI, is the identity of this blogger in
blogosphere.
Usually we invite someone into our house from being inside. But for
a change, he invited me with a charming smile sitting inside our home, as I
came little late while back on a ride on ECR. Though coming back from the same,
with a different destination, he was on time at home. But well knowing about
his visit, I decided to make a quick hop on and off on ECR. Glad I didn't miss
the opportunity as I assured our meeting and it was a moment I could cherish
for very long time.
I wasn’t certain will I meet him in person until that day. But I was
quite amazed when I saw his mail that enquires the opportunity of meeting me at
home that evening. I would have easily missed this chance if I haven’t login my
Gmail on Sunday and went on my way leisure on ECR. I know Rajesh for a long
time and came to visit his pages through fellow blogger Rakesh’s blog. Initially
I showed interest on his posts on places of interest, but gradually stared to
follow his every post as I find it simple yet interesting. Though it a personal
blog, his way of writing sounds professional… perhaps because he also make blogging
as his profession with another blog.
Apart scrolling back his personal diaries, he is a brilliant writer
on short stories and reviewing books and movies. He also lately established himself
as a published (self) novelist. The Archers Revenge (his book) is a very
interesting crime fiction set in India. He is a wonderful event manager, as he
covers many events happening in and around Chennai through his blog. We share a
similar passion for blogging, which I think made us quite travel by blogosphere.
I was happy meeting him and it was a lighthearted moment, and I think
he also felt the same. Our conversation was almost around blogging, places of
interest and traveling. I too learn something about him and the meeting was a
great transformation on the perception I got on him. To be frank, I thought he
must be someone uncertain talking about, but I saw an amusement guy in him, who
giggles and shows great conscious about things. More than happiness it was a feel
pride moment meeting you DI! Thank you so much J

This sounds like a wonderful meeting indeed Jeevan. We make so many friendships and connections through blogging don't we?
so wonderful to meet a blogging friend in person! and so kind of him to come to you! :)
Meeting bloggers in person is always a special treat. I'm glad you had a nice meeting with DI.
thats so sweet of DI. I am visiting you whenever I will make a trip down south.
That is so great that you could meet each other. I sometimes wonder if I met some of my blogger friends if I really would like to be around them. I know some that seem a little bit too uptight for me to be around. I am glad you had a great meeting.
I'm glad your meeting went well. It's good sometimes to meet in person. I do feel like some fellow bloggers are true friends.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Great experience shared with us.I do think if a chance arises to meet a blog friend, it is certainly going to be an exciting event.
It was great meeting you. We had a great discussion on blogging and other topics, on that day. I loved your dog, it was so nice to me even before you came! I will be writing a post on ISKCON Temple visit that day, I will link this post from there. Hope to meet you again sometime :)

That's so great Jeevan. Nice to see you so happy. Sometimes these small gesture of strangers also matter a lot. Keep smiling buddy. :)
Namrata - I know DI (Rajesh) well through blogs, so he's not a stranger :)
DI is a very talented blogger. He can write about anything. It was nice to read about the meeting of you two. I can imagine how you must have enjoyed. Nice.
How neat to meet Rajesh in person---and how wonderful that he came to meet you... I will write and thank him for doing that. I wish we could meet you also --but we probably won't ever get to India. SAD!
I love meeting blog friend so I know how excited you were to meet him...
Hugs,
Betsy
