Eye Blog – Kolkata Blogger’s Meet: What’s Next

More you get involved in a process, more you think about it – more ideas start coming in your mind. While thinking out some quotations about blogs, suddenly the idea popped up.

"Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry"

Eye Blog: What about a strong yet simple and easy blogging platform for those who are physically challenged – yes I am talking about our brothers, sisters and friends, who cannot see, cannot speak or cannot hear – the blind, deaf and dumb community.

There are plug-ins that automatically create the audio version of your blog posts. We need to access this with Braille keyboards. We may need a suitable browser as well. Actually we may need to do A LOT of things to achieve this, but the objective is worth putting the efforts, right?

And I am sure, as long as people like Aji, Kamanashish, Anirudh, Shimul, Abhishek, Naveen are there, we can do ANYTHING.

A tremendous coincidence:
While writing this post, suddenly one of my colleagues, who sits few cubicles away, started playing this number...we can do this, I am sure, we have got the ‘go-ahead’ from the supreme power.

Belly On Me - UGLY

I need to work out, seriously. The belly is growing everyday. I eat less, I walk a lot - still this is happening :(

Searched for some good health and fitness centers in Kolkata, but the timing is not matching with my tight schedule. I am really worried, not sure how the new round-neck shirt customised for Kolkata Blooger's Meet would look on me!

One Hindi Blog - Finally

Finally one partially Hindi Blog entered Kolkata Blogger's Meet. I mentioned in one of my previous posts about the lack of blogs in regional languages. Saurav Arya filled the gap :)

Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet – What’s Next!

Boss, a lot of things can be done; mentioning few here, will keep you posted.

Green Blogging:

Let’s do something for this planet. Let’s start writing about the environment, climate changes, how to stop pollution, what measures should be taken to save this planet, how to protect animals and insects from extinction, importance of rain water harvesting in India, importance of alternative energy etc.

Once bloggers start doing this, let’s have another meet and decide how to implement the ideas. I am sure we will get a lot of people, activists and groups with us.

Banglar Mukh (The Face of Bengal):

We are going to celebrate Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet 2009, and there is not a single Bangla Blog! Are Kolkatans not blogging in Bengali?

Let’s popularize blogging in all regional languages – let’s convince writers and celebrities to have their blogs written in vernacular languages. There must be 100 Bengali Blogs in the Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet 2010 along with blogs written in other tongues.

Kids – Should they start blogging?

Organise a parent-teacher-educationalist meet and let’s have a debate.

More ideas will come in to my mind and I am sure about that. Keep watching.

Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet by webreps.in – our dream comes true

Webreps.in, a group of 'web minded’ people, is going to organize Kolkata Bloggers’ Meet 2009. Being a part of the team, I understand how much dedication, thoughts and hard work is required to arrange such an event.

We planned for this event many months ago, when nobody in Kolkata could think of such events. Somehow it did not work at that time. Now, thanks to Kamanashish, Anirudh and Shimul, we have been able to give our idea a shape.

All bloggers, from Kolkata and any other place, are requested to join. Here are the details:

Proposed Date: 8th August 2009 | Saturday

Proposed Location: CCD; RDB Adlabs Sector V; Saltlake City; Kolkata

Proposed Time: 5 PM onwards

Entry Fees: ZERO (Thanks to the sponsors)

See you there :)
