I *Dove* blogging!

Anyone who knows me well, knows this about me. I am totally and utterly technologically-challenged. And by that I mean using any kind of technology – whether it is gadgets, my PC, or social networking sites. (Hell, I have been known to beat the crap out of my *keyboard* when the *internet* was down.) I couldn't even relate to blogging, until I discovered the joys of it quite by accident a year or so ago.

Which is why you’d almost never find me at a get-together of serious bloggers. Even I don’t take myself seriously as a blogger, so why should anybody else, right?

But I DID find myself at this Indiblogger meet a week ago that happened at Four Seasons, Mumbai. And I have only one person to thank for it! My dearest friend Purnima, who is, by the way, a game designer!

So she told me about the Indiblogger meet where they would have free mani-pedi, head massage, hair styling, and lunch sponsored by Dove. Did I mention it would be for free? We would also be meeting 100 fellow bloggers and exchanging notes, which is always a good thing.

But I was not prepared for what lay before us. Although the mani-pedi was cancelled (because of obvious logistical reasons), we did get a wonderful 10-min foot massage, hair styling – that included a hair wash – free vouchers, T-shirt, and gift hampers from Dove! 

We also played games, which were really good fun, and discussed how to get our blogs more ‘out-there’ - thanks to ideasmith. But most of all, I am thankful to Indiblogger and Dove for helping me connect with all those wonderful women, who are doing so much more than just blogging! They are superwomen in their own right!

I want to end with the slogan that our team ‘Fortune Seekers’ was required to come up during a treasure hunt game. And it was more or less created by this 11-year old blogger (or possibly a blogger’s daughter). It went: ‘We seek, we find. We got, you mind?’ Absolutely loved it!  

I hope you also find what you’re seeking.
