A bloggers words will not go in vain.
Hari's words did not go in vain. An ISB meet has to happen at "God only knows where else" and that's exactly what happened on April 1st, a day before the blog-post was written.
Subhen and I met up at Shirdi, a place that's a perfect fit for the adjective God only knows where. After several discussions over email and phone, we arranged to take up the challenge of putting faces to names. Subhen had landed from Singapore along with his family and 110kg of "goodies". I was back from the US a month ago, and chilling out in the hot Hyderabad sun. We couldn't think of a better place to meet up than Shirdi. Although we didn't discuss sensitive topics like what our initial impressions at seeing each other were, we did discuss quite a bit about a wide range of topics ranging from the weather at Singapore to the concerts I've been to in the US.
In other news, we're got exactly one more week to kill before we all touch-down on the ISB tarmac in our favorite business jets. And hopefully, we'll have something to talk about in a year's time from now.
