I am very brave but still coward enough to avoid committing a social suicide…ummm Naah! not really …but still I tend to stay within the bounds of civic duty and sense …and one of which is to fulfill your promises!
So when yesterday at the Teabreakers union Ammar wrapped up the session with telling us that they’ll visit each of our blogs to see our thoughts about this small get together (basically trying to cover up for their laziness in formulating feedback forms
) we were all sort of bound by blog hood camaraderie to do a write up…..Actually lets just say, it is a good excuse to fight off the Monday Morning Blues in office
Alrightey!! Yesterday when after dragging myself to CK for a Tea Break of another nature i was eager to see what this team of mindful thinkers was up to… I was a bit late …ok make that quite late (but I was trying to be in sync with Lubna’s arrival, who had gotten lost and got even late) and so when I arrived Madam JehanAra was speaking. Since I got a place to sit such that her back was to me so I was hardly able to hear what she had to share. Next was the introduction of ‘Next by Ramla’
…by the time Ramla was speaking we had ourselves rearranged and so I could hear her loud and clear….
Ramla Shah talked about how she has now focused her entire energies on building up her website which has become a local as well as an international attraction. It was a good thought that she shared where she said that hers was an example of how a blog could become your life….me thinks it’s not a bad channel to touch hearts now ain’t it!!
Right after her it was my turn to do the speaking…put suddenly under the spotlight I began by introducing myself and after about some time through I suddenly exclaimed: “Btw I am sorry but what are we discussing around here???” That broke everybody up…but I was late remember?? So anyways After me Lubna did her bit of public speaking with her really nice punch line:
“Ammar you should have told me that we’ll have to deliver a speech I would have prepared one”
Then there were intros of Ammar, another member of Tea break team and another fellow who blogs about rock music plus another one who writes about news, events and his classes’ syllabi….So in all gathered there at the Hi Tea, sponsored by Tea Break was a set of diversely thinking individuals who wanted to come together and move towards raising a combined voice.
Guess being late robs you of being organized and makes you a bit confused so that was with me too, otherwise the idea behind this get together would have been a lot more fruitful for me. The concept was all about sharing our views and news regarding the blogging world and how we can come together to raise our voice and be heard….because that is what it was all about…People having an opinion!!…and they having the patience to respect the other’s point of view!
I like the spread of tea things at CK though I don’t particularly like the dark and congested environ, but it was good to be enjoying a light snack while chatting away the time with people you know. The Tea Break T shirt was a plus too though I asked Ammar to give me an ‘L’ sized one…no no Not because I come in the gigantic category but because I don’t wear Tees and my brother, for whom I was taking it as a souvenir…is definitely from the league of those BIG BOYS!! J
So you ppl out there of the Tea Break team, you are on a good thing here because I can sense what the strength of eager, active and thinking young minds can do…it can bring about a revolution of enlightenment where people care beyond…what’s it for dinner today ???
