BBB Meetup-15

BBB had our 15th meetup on Sunday, the 26th of August. This was the first meetup that also included a published author Mr.Ram Sivasankaran in our midst and he spoke to us about how he came to be on the path to becoming an author and also about his motivation for the theme of his books, “The Lion and the Stallion” and “The Peshwa”. Coffee and snacks as usual, amid sounds of the thunderstorm outside, made for an excellent meetup.

BBB Meetup-14

We had 36 people in the last meetup BBB#14 and frankly that’s a bit too much :-/ But the discussion was lively, the fries being passed around were awesome and there was hot coffee, so I’m partially happy. What would have made me happier is if everyone could have heard Everyone else when they were talking about the books they were reading and that’s frankly not possible and feasible for an attending group of this magnitude.

BBB Meetup-13

Oh yessss 🐣 Meetup #13 happened on 22 Apr 2018 and I was very pleased with the eventual turnout, one of the largest we’ve had so far. This time we didn’t have a theme and that was awesome since the discussion wasn’t polarized or monopolized and everyone got their say. And these are the kind of meetups I’m personally preferential to, where everyone gets to voice their opinion about books they’ve read coz everyone’s read Something even if it isn’t related to a pre-set theme (not discounting the advantages of the themed meetups, of course.
