My dear friends,
The pleasure of meeting virtual friends in person on this realistic world is fascinating and like to share my experiences here.
As a regular traveler, I used to visit many places on my business visits as well as social commitments and in the evenings I prefer to call upon those friends with whom I interact on various sites.
Of course in the evening I met our Harsha lawyer too for few hours.
Meanwhile I met our Swarajya at his house and he was instrumental to get us his old contacts at Vishakapatnam.
Next day our Suvashri joined me to visit Sulekha office and we met all including Our Sulekha CEO Mr.Satyaprabhakar.
Thanks to Team sulekha for the hospitality and kind courtesies extended to all of us.
On last 29th feb 2008, I had the long pending mission of meeting Ramaraogaru at Vishakapatnam and those 29 hours of my stay with him left me with full of enchanting memories for ever.
Hospitality of Mrs.& Mr.RamaRaoGaru is an outstanding example of love & affections to sulekhites.
I request our friend to pay a visit to Vizag and have the pleasure of meeting them.
Our RamaRaogaru was such an outstanding writer, with all his wisdom, knowledge and full of humor.
It’s a remarkable event in my span of meeting virtual friends in person.
I had the opportunity to meet his brother Mr.G.V.Ramakrishnaraogaru who is also a blogger and used to read all our sulekhites blogs and his son is a Lt. in Indian Navy.
Our Swarajya’s friends V.S.Raogaru & Sudhakar Raogaru also joined us at Vizag.
With lots of memories & pleasant experiences I returned back home yesterday.
Now look forward to meet many more in the coming days.
It’s also time to say a million thanks to all those friends who spoke to us during our meets with other sulekhites over telephone and you all made my day…and I am happy.
Expecting our friends do meet others as time permits.

Hi Subbu,
It was really great meeting you and the sulekha team, Neha, Roshini,Devesh and Satya Prabhakar. Though I live in Chennai, might never have gone over if not for your invitation to meet all of them and it definitely was worth it.
Really appreciate your efforts in getting people together and being able to talk to Sampath,wiskyd,reflector,sofizz.
Look forward to meeting up with you in Coimbatore on my next visit.
Shuvashree

My dear subbu garu,



With all your praise(Which I hardly deserve) I got inflated so much that I cannot pass through any doors in my flat. Now I am struck right and proper and imprisoned in my house. This is the collateral damage(for want of of a better word) of the pleasure of of your wonderful company. I suppose pleasure and pain are the flip sides of a coin. I wanted to post a blog on this but I am behind schedule on some other work.
I take this opportunity of reminding all Sulekhites that subbu is utterly and totally incapable of and inadequate in saying even a single false note, syllable or word. He speaks and with candy in his mouth and writes with honey in his words. His keyboard is made of chocolates. He spreads cheer and mirth and even a dingy and dark room will light up and glow when he goes there.
Warning- Be careful as u may get so inflated by his words that u most probably will suffer from delusions of grandeur for long.
Ramarao.

Subbu,
Enjoyed the blog as well as the photos. Wish all photos had captions.
I salute your enthusiasm in taking the initiative to meet up with fellow Sulekhites. Just two months back I had the fortune to meet a few of them (Mr & Mrs.Keshav, Ekta Bhandari, Anjana Jha, Charu Avi, Svengali and Nargis) in Mumbai and I do cherish the time I spent with them. Though I was meeting them all for the first time, they did not feel like strangers. We knew so much about each other's interests and aptitudes and had so many common friends, we were never at a loss for words and time just flew by. I am grateful to all of them for taking the effort to get together in a common place at my request. I would love to meet them all again. I would also love to meet you during my next visit to India. I usually divide up my time between Mumbai, Trissur, Kochi and Trivandrum during my yearly holidays.
Best regards,
Sue
