Bloggers Meet after a Long Time

Pradeep of Time & Tide was in Chennai earlier this week. I have been following his blog for some time now so we thought it might be a good idea to meet and get to know the person behind the words. Besides, it’s been ages since any bloggers meet happened.

Since I am not able to travel much due to sciatica, I requested him to come to our house and he graciously accepted. I, my wife, and my mother met Pradeep and his wife. Turns out all of us were/are connected with writing in one way or another!

I think we spoke for a couple of hours but never realized how time flew so quickly. This was like an oasis in the desert as we’ve been having next-to-zero social interactions – the situation accentuated due to the pandemic as well.

There was a time when there were abundant bloggers’ meets and interactions with bloggers on social media, etc. After all, all bloggers can easily connect over their common passion for writing. Nowadays only bloggers who are really passionate about their craft are still writing – so that’s a good reason to (re)form a blogger’s social network.

Maybe we need something like GoodReads for bloggers. I am sure people are doing this already on a personal level, but a more interactive platform is required. Even our previously extremely active chennai bloggers club facebook group is relatively silent.

Anyway, I take this opportunity to thank Pradeep and his wife for taking the time and efforts to travel across the city (from where they were staying) to meet us. It was a great evening
