Putting Faces To Usernames - Attending the Steem Meetup in New Delhi, India

in #india6 years ago

One of the greatest things about Steemit has been that it has brought together complete strangers from so many different parts of the world on the same platform where they can not only work together but even become great friends.

Through Steem meetups organized worldwide and the annual Steemfest, a lot of people have become really close as we all work towards a common goal of building a big and happy Steem community.

That is why it’s always a pleasure to attend these meetups and put faces to usernames that until that point just existed on a screen. Really, meeting someone in person is very different to just chatting online as it has that personal touch and you get to know them even better.

Recently, I attended the New Delhi meetup organized by @firepower on 11th February. It was a really nice group of people there in the capital city of my country and I had great fun conversing with so many lovely people.

What started out as a round of introductions, quickly transitioned into hearty conversations about everything and anything that we could talk about. You can tell from the smile on these faces.

Obviously no meetup is complete without food and that was well taken care of thanks to the awesome location (Cafe Coffee Day) where the meetup was held. I really loved the Nachos at this place and actually ate like 5 plates of them!! lol

It was really awesome taking photos with all these awesome people who had gathered there and to me, it felt like one giant family that is a part of an even bigger family.

We then made our way to a nearby park where @shenoy, India's very own Steemit meetup host (and an awesome Youtuber) was conducting interviews of the Steemians that had gathered there. This guy sure knows how to make people laugh!

After the interviews were done, I went back to the cafe to say goodbyes, hoping to meet them all again soon. It was a really incredible day and I can't wait to attend the next one.

Special shoutout to @varunpinto for covering the entire meetup with his camera and taking some amazing shots.

Looks like it was a good time! Sad to not be there.

It was really awesome.

Wow! This is awesome! Steem really has reached new heights. I'm pretty confident this is one of the best investment we can have this 2018.

@gvincentjosephm You can say that again and again. Steemit has come to stay and it is taking the world by storm. I joined December and i am already planning a meet-up in my city.

Thanks @sauravrungta for taking it into your hands to organize this meet-up

That's the effect that steem has on everyone ;)

Indeed, steemit has reached great heights and it is only the beginning. Let's all ride the wave together :)

Can we have a meetup in Kolkata as well. ✌️

yeah, that would be a great place to have a steemit meetup for sure.

Well let me know, if there’s any such plan.

This is awesome! So happy to see my fellow Indians jumping on the Steemit bandwagon and also taking the relationship offline. This is the start of great friendships and greater opportunities to collaborate and produce extraordinary content on this amazing platform. More power to Steemians!

Yeah, awesome to see Indians coming together like this. I see a lot of potential for Steemit in India as we can contribute so much here.

Bhai saab - this is now trending on top in India. Good report and thanks for capturing my laugh with @shantonil and @shenoy :-D

Yes, that's true :)

Pretty cool meeting you bro!

Thanks man. Same here :)

Wah would have loved to join you guys, one of my major ambitions in the future with Steemit is to go attend these meetups all over the world. I think we really have an amazing community with highly interesting and skilled people, it would be a waste not connecting at a deeper level!

Also +1 that you took so good photos as well, most meetups have sloppy pictures so big ups on that brother 🙏🏼

Otherwise, if you happen to be into travelling, vlogs, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case keep up the good work and I'll see you around!

That is one of my ambitions too. To attend as many meetups as possible in my country as well as all around the world.

Thanks for all the words of appreciation. It really means a lot. I try to keep the posts as high quality as possible :)

Let's make it happen 🤟🏼

No worries, you deserve the words my friend 🙏🏼

You might have enjoyed the evening with full heart I think,im too interested in joining the meetup , get some learning experience and letting my account grow.
Followed you,I am close to Hyderabad and looking forward to such events if it happens there.

Yeah, I did indeed enjoy with all my heart. Do try to attend one of these as one can easily make new friends and have fun and learn a lot at the same time.

Looks like a great time! I just started on steemit and I can already see the potential for meeting a great community. Upvoted!

Yeah, the potentials are huge.

Que gran comunidad viva steemit!

Gracias! :)

full house, looks like fun! Great to see all these meetups around the globe taking place

Indeed it was a full house and a lot of fun. Planning to attend as many of these as possible.

All pictures all lovely and shining.
