Word Up Indiblogger Meet Blue Frog
This morning I left home for the Indiblogger WordUp Meet sponsored by Big Rock ..to meet my Indiblogger friends and My Blog Guru Renie Ranvin and his Hit Team,
But before I go further I missed my bumchum Magic Eye Deepak Amembal he is trekking on his bike in Leh with my other good Bollywoof friend Aditya Raj Kapoor son of vetran heart throb late Mr Shammi Kapoor.
My other two gifted talented friends Aaditya Iyer The Nameless One and Roshan Sorcerer were there .. this was a great meet , great speakers who talked on blogging ,,, and fabulous mindmunching lunch ,dollops of tea and the works ,, The BlueFrog hospitality headed by my namesake Firoze was outstanding.
This meet was enlightening but I hop the next one has someone talking about Photoblogging Street Photography ,,I reiterated whatever Google Blogspot or Wordpress maybe to Bloggers I use Flickr as my blog platform.. One of the speakers advised me if Flickr shuts down I would lose all my content I answered back Ms Marissa Mayer would never let that happen ever.
Later there was sandwiches tea .. gifts prizes , Big Rock gave 3 bags for my grand daughters and Reniie gave them 3 Indiblogger Tshirts ,,
And this is my new set at Flickr.com ..fasten your seatbelts as my good friend Benn Bell says on Twitter .
The Meet began with a BJP Speaker Vinit Goenka and almost all the bloggers went back to Sleep.. as the meet was at ungodly hour of 9 am.. I dont think there were Political Bloggers Or Blogger Trolls Or Bhakts ,,
After him the other speakers were as follows
1 Amit Aggarwal
2 Anshul Tewari
3 Lakshmi Rebecca
4 Sunit Singh
5 Varun Krishnan
6 Shree Krishna Chepuri

This morning I registered for the Master Chef India India Bloggers Meet at RK Studios , I am not a food blog nor am I a foodie but I came here to meet the God of Blogs Renie Ranvin of IndiBlogger whose hard core fan I am..He is a self driven man who has promoted blogging bloggers and I am a member of Indi Blogger along with Marziya Shakir worlds youngest photographer only 3 and a half year old and the youngest Indiblogger baby Nerjis Asif Shakir only 2 months old..both are my grand daughters.
I am a photo blog my narration is a story board of pictures I shot of this event at RK studios..I chronicled all this barefeet .,..The three Master Chefs were hospitable , humble and down to earth.. and the large crowd of bloggers had some prime time experience to take back home.. including the gift of an apron and a coffee mug..the luckier ones took home hefty cash vouchers ...
Chef Vikas Khanna, who is all set to make his TV debut as a judge on MasterChef India 2, has been awarded a Star by Michelin Guide, the world’s most famous food manual, for his restaurant ‘Junoon’ in New York.
The other two judges were Kunal Kapoor and Ajay Chopra.. both friendly and I told them all three should be acting as mega stars for Bollywood in the Hindi remake of 3 Musketeers ..called Khana Pakana Band Bajana ...Anjana Deewana Mastana
They had great regard for the IndiBloggers posed with the bloggers gave autographs on the aprons and gave interviews too including tips on cutting dicing cooking a job that even our politicians do thoroughly well in total scam corruption like culinary ingenuity..
So this as a long series my humble tribute to those who could not make it my best friend Deepak Magic Eye and Mohan Nellore and other Indibloggers from other cities of India..their turn will come too Inshallah..
This series was shot with their eyes too...
Picture of Renie Ranvin dressed as me .. like the barefeet blogger of Mumbai...one and only..
And I am re posting the poem I wrote before I came to this event ..
Indi Blogger Master Chef Renie Ranvin Wants Me To Be a Cook
a beggar poet
a blogger
the god of
the blogs
mistook
he gave
me an ultimatum
happy married life
success prosperity
you need to become
a cook the phone
went off the hook
so at home under
the watchful eyes
of wife no1
i am learning
to unblog uncook
cut the veggies
wash the dishes pans
i am playing
by the recipe book
the steaming cauldron
my perspiring poetry
the kitchen
my alcove my nook
no ulterior designs
no scissors
no measure tape
for this walking
talking stylebook
online sinker and hook
depleted dreams
delusional dilemma
dehydrated disillusioned
diehard whose
kingdom shook
my tryst with
destiny
at RK studios
my fate on a platter
precooked
