Bloggers meet with Mr. RK Mishra and Ashwin Mahesh this Sunday

[Sanjukta Basu]

Friends,

 

We, the Bangalore Bloggers have a great opportunity to participate in the planning and development process of our favourite city, Bengaluru.

 

Many of you might have already heard of Bengaluru Vedike. It's an initiative by Member of Parliament - Mr Rajeev Chandrasekhar. A platform for public-spirited citizens of Bengaluru, aimed at making a difference to the future of Bengaluru by engaging all its stakeholders to a vision of clean, green, safe and progressive city.

 

Under its activities, the Vedike team have recently launched four action plans and blueprints in the areas of (1) Govern Bangalore, 2) Road Traffic Management 3) Urban Poor 4) Security

 

Lead India winner Mr. RK Mishra and India Together's Co-founder Mr. Ashwin Mahesh, who are also members of ABIDE, have co-authored the action plan related to Road Traffic Mangament. They have expressed their willingness to meet the Bangalore Bloggers to obtain their feedback / review of the plans.

 

Their aim is to get every Bangalorean to review these plans and add their feedback or add any specific concerns that might have been missed out and there is no better way to reach out but through the bloggers. You could also give your reviews / feedback / bricks / bouquets about the plans on your personal blogs which could be featured on the Vedike home page.(Terms and Conditions apply. Would be decided post the meeting) 

 

ABIDE team have offered to provide for the venue and lunch.

Fellow bloggers,

I am in :)

This is the first time, I'll be meeting many of you...I guess, it is going to be great!

Regards,

All,

 

An Important announcement, the Sunday meeting might get cancelled due to lack of significant participation from the Bloggers, at the sole discretion of ABIDE team. So far I have received the following 5 confirmation. (All cc marked) We would close registration this afternoon and then ABIDE team (represented here by Mr. Trigam Mukherjee - cc marked) would take a decision. 

 

1) Amit Mittal 

2) Supreeth

3) Supriy

4) Sivaraman 

5) Kunal Kant + friends

PS. I can understand the concern the ABIDE team is probably having. After all Mr. Mishra and Mahesh are busy people it doesnt make sense for them to meet 5-6 of us. But in the alternative we blogaloreans can always carry on with our meeting (in a different venue and a little later in the day may be) even in absence of ABIDE team - What do you guys think??

 

Please suggest.

PS: a few bloggers represents whole blogosphere !

Update on this:

 

Since this morning I got 3 more confirmations:

 

Nishu Goyal

@netbrahma (via twitter)

Deepak

Total - 8 confirmation. 

 

Ergo: ABIDE team won't be there. Ergo CANCELLED. 

 

Let's focus on the Free hug campaign now :)
