'The best National Blog award for Technical writing to Sriram Sreenivasan'
It was the year 2010, that Kavitha and Sri had been catapulted to National fame due to the Govt recognised awards that they had been endowed with.
The next day,the newspapers went crazy about their profile,the online magazines had all details about them spanning from the hospital that they were born, to their education to their professional activities to the cars that they had bought from their adsense earnings,not to forget the millions of bloggers who literally devoted their entire webspace for the next few weeks to felicitate their role models.
Bloggers Meets,Bloggers net conference,Bloggers Marathon,Bloggers Charity Cricket Match and what not..These were some of the activities that became a common occurance almost every week in the major metros and Kavitha and Sri had been active participants in many of these at Chennai and Bangalore respectively.
It was one such meet called 'Blognoscenti - Appreciate the world of Blogs',that was held at 'The Amethyst' cafe at Chennai that both of them met for the first time.
As commonly observed in the blogging community,there was no element of shyness or reservation amongst the both of them,as they endlessly poured their appreciation for each other's blog,completely oblivious of the 'special speaker' on the dias - Director Maniratnam,who was detailing how his life in movie making had changed after he had started blogging and had started making movies with inputs from millions of his sharp and erudite blog-watchers.
Kavitha went on and on for minutes together heaping praise over each and every blog piece that Sri had written in the past few weeks...
'Hey,ur write up on the Cell chip from Sony..That was brilliant.Really put my doubts about whether to buy that or the '8 core multi-processor' chip from AMD..'
'And then,your detailed description of how the GPS mechanism works..God..I swear I had been using that stuff in my car for 5 yrs now and had no clue about how it showed me the location and maps instantaneously..Thanks Sri'
And as she queued up her next lavish praise for Sri,he interupted...
"Oh..Come on Kavi..Dont try to be soo modest here..
Your are a much better writer than me.No doubt about that..The number of comments that even a single liner entry in your blog garners..I can't match that even if I were to write a masterpiece!!
Also,I just try to breathe life into lifeless things such as the IPOD or the Googleon searcher,but then you are the one who breathes life into everyday life's happenings.
Your blogs are the only ones,that I take time in the early morning to read it all in one sitting..You know I have most of them fresh in my mind..
-Blogistics - A peek into a blogger's family business and some of the main facilitators'
-Bloggrammers - A bite into the lives of the bits and bytes junta'
-Eublogy - The smile from an encoraging blog comment'
Wow..Kavitha..The titles that you give to them are the thrilling starters to those few minutes of realisation about mundane activities that most of the times get unnoticed,if not for you..
How do you come up with such wonderful titles and exciting write-ups detailing every aspect of the current day happenings in life?
Suddenly they heard a thunderous applause marking the end of Mani Sir's speech,which meant it was time for them to leave!
'Hey..Next week at the Sheraton Saturday evening event.Ok?
'which one?''Catablogue - Advertisement through Blogs' seminar at 7 p.m ??
'Yeah..thats it..
To be concluded..
-Raapi
