Why not some of the members [ or all the members ] try to have a meeting ..so that every one will know each other..??
This can be of citywise too...To start with will some of the members in Chennai like to meet .?...say a small get-together..?
TVK
Wish you luck.
Some of us would like to keep our anonymity, so they may not join that is ok too.
Some of us live in far off place, so they may not join.
Will all the members post their recent photographs so that
we will know whether we are talking to a
man/ woman/ boy/ girl/ thatha/ patti???
Some user names are so weird (like your own for example) that
we do not even know whether the member is a male or a female!!!![]()
Dear TVK Sir,
Your idea is great! But for any meeting..... 'dabbu kaavaala' (ie) 'need the money'!opcorn:
Some Qs follows this:
1. Where will be the meeting - five star hotel/ someone's residence?
2. Who will be the main organizer?
3. How do we share the expenses?
PS: One of the best ideas for those who live in SingArach Chennai will be, to meet in one of the beaches, with 'kattu chaadham'!
This will minimize the expenditure!! :lol:
..We already have the facility to send P.M. to any member here.
As for exchanging photos in private,
how will it help all the other members???
They will still be wondering who they are talking to!
We know one another ONLY through the forum.
So I see no reason for the private exchange of information!!!
I am a male member. The user name is "jagusha". In my case, I used part of my name and part of my wife's name for the USERNAME. My name is U V JAGANNATHAN and my wife's name is USHA JAGANNATHAN. I am 65 years old. Yesterday also I tried for posting my photo in my profile. I think it has not appearing in the profile. I will try my best.

..
These kind of meetings will be sucessful if everyone attend with their spouse..This will help people to understand better and develop new friendship...

Some frank opinions and honest doubts!!!
1. How many spouses read the posts we make here???
2. Why will they be interested to know the others, when they are not
interested to read their own spouse's posts???
3. The upper limit (Rs 500/-) itself will become large when there are 4
or more members in the family...even excluding legendary heroes and
many headed gods.
4. "NOT only you DO not make any money by writing but on top of
that you want to spend more money is fraternizing strangers!!!"
will be the issue raised in every household. :mmph:
5. I like optimism but within realistic limits!
6. I will rather talk bitter truth than sweet lies just to please you!!!
7. I do not belong to the category of Doubting Thomas- the way you
try to project. :nono:
I once had an experience of such a meeting.
I joined this forum in August 2009. When I went on my yearly vacation to Chennai,in January, 2010, I had the opportunity to participate in one such informal meeting.
This proposed meeting was highlighted in this forum and I responded to it with information that can help the team to be in touch with me upon arrival and make me participate.
This informal meeting was held at evening 5 pm on the day of Pongal festival, in the residence of one of the senior members. Couple of us gathered in his house and had very interesting interactions. We all then left for nearby temple, got back his home and were been offered with dinner. All at no cost!!!!
-----------
It can be planned such a way that, a member can come forward as an organiser and the gathering can be planned in the house of any of the interested participants, as suitable to all. Some snacks can be ordered from the hotel as feasible and the expense can be shared among all the participants. Participants should be interested to commute on their own, to the gathering premise.
I think, this would be the best and cheapest way to organize such a gathering. It will certainly bring members close to each other and some good initiatives for some kind of social cause may develop. People in touch can help each other for any needed assistance and information sharing that may include matrimony, government related work, spirituality, references for good job etc..etc..
Quite simple... Just as the thread I started titled 'Tamil brahmins for sale' (!!) - caption copied from an e-mail - was shifted from GDI am just wondering why this thread posted GD section is shifted to chitchat...
Let me rise to the occasion! Our sweet home has a big hall to accommodate about twenty people. We live in West KKNagar.Than God... I am getting support...!!
