This is the first exclusive Steemit meetup I had ever attended. I was super excited and it was worthy to travel from Bangalore for this event. In my previous post 'My Trip to Mangalore', I had shared about how I planned the travel at the last minute and about my stay in Mangalore. I wanted to share my thoughts on Mangalore meetup in a separate post. So, here it is!

First, thanks to @firepower for organizing these Steemit Meetups across India. Starting from Jaipur this year, then to Bangalore and now Mangalore(his home town). I wanted to attend Bangalore meetup but I was out of town at that time. When the announcement was out for Mangalore, I quickly made up my mind to attend and meet fellow Steemians.

I was late for the event since I went to sightseeing in the morning and it overrun(especially due to my gross under-estimation of time required for that sightseeing place and it was ~65km away from Mangalore). Finally, I was able to reach the venue. I recognized only one face(you-know-who). It was great to meet so many of them from different background and interests.

It was great to meet and interact with everyone, most of them were moto enthusists, including @firepower and of course most of them were his friends and acquaintances. I'm glad that he brought so many of them into Steemit and pushing them to post regularly.

There were discussions about our Steemit journey, how we discovered Steemit, about Steepshot, plans to improve our engagement with posts & comments etc.

The venue was Spindrift, it was a fantastic place for events like this. Not to forget, it is owned by @phoneypictures. The food was great, I must admit 'Leefu Paneer' and 'Leefu Chicken' were amazingly delicious.

It was good to interact with other Steemians like @geetharao @shenoy @phoneypictures @speedracer @sanjayjkamath @rjsudeep @its2bhan @varunpinto @rogerloren @srinidhi. If you guys happen to come to Bangalore, do let me know we can catch up. Sorry if I had missed anyone inadvertently.

@shenoy was at his best with humorous nature. Watch out for his witty video interviews with fellow Steemians. @varunpinto captured the moments with his superb photography skills.

Folks from Delhi gear up for the Steemit Meetup and people in other locations watch out for the announcement. I wish to see this growing and happening across India. I wish to be part of such events and meet other Steemians.

Here is the group photo though I'm not in the pic :)
