sulekha bloggers meet

My dear friends, This blog is dedicated to our sulekhites for their efforts, time and energy to share the knowledge with others. Blogging is a scale to measure ourselves and to know about various subjects.

The blogger’s responsibility is to deliver the message they want to convey through their blogs to others. It should reach the readers mind for a healthy discussion. It is a showcase of our thoughts presented in its full form. It acts as a stress buster too...For many of us it is a desire to spread the message and to hone our writing skills.

Each blogger is unique and the encouragements one get from the interactions acts as a catalyst to write more and more. We get our recognitions through various subjects when it is read by many. It is our duty to read other’s presentations whenever time permits and responds to our comments as we expect the same from others to ours.

Motivations are a powerful tool and when it is aligned with authentic values it becomes a worthy presentation. It’s more about connecting with readers, networking with writers, exchanging information and opinions, sharing thoughts and experiences. And when it’s fulfilling there is such an amount of satisfaction of delivering something worth while.

When we joined this blog space we were all strangers and during the course of time we get acquiescence to interact on the subject with deeper discussions as well as enhancing, the value of the subject through our interactions. We are able to learn more and share more.

Sulekha is definitely an awesome place which provides the space for all of us to present our thought process. It is a place where we have volunteered to join ourselves or through our friends invite or through a web link.

A site which offers the freedom of expressions without moderation and that has its own plus & minus points. Yes it is up to the bloggers who wants to use it as a media to express themselves or to play a critic role on the subject matter. As long as it is not exploited for any personal gain or to settle score with others the blog space is quite a comfortable space.

Off late, bloggers have taken it for granted to write any thing they want or to raise their frustrations against the management for some reasons or the other that turns out to be a sour taste. We know pretty well that the Team sulekha has been kind enough to sort out the technical glitches despite their tight schedules. Their response to sort out issues to each blogger is some thing worth while when compared to the other social site. We also should give them sufficient time to improve the site presentations & user friendly mode of communications.

We must remember that whatever we write in blog space being read by many netizens who browse through search engines for a subject and our blogs are not read by our members alone. Once this awareness comes within us we will present our write - ups with more meaningful articles.

Self discipline and decorum to public forum are indispensable for any site members and we must adhere to this basic rule. If at all there is an issue why not they send that through a personal note with the concerned & get clarified than writing in an open forum to invite unpleasant situations. At any cost we must abide by ourselves not to indulge in personal abuse or ganging up against each other.

This is my personal experience of having spent more than 8 years in various social sites. I find Sulekha is more cordial, respectable and lively to each member.

We are able to meet many intellectual gems here whose vast experience in various professions expressed through their blogs & comments. We must thank Sulekha for providing this opportunity to meet others in person too.

We had many get together in various cities when we go on our personal visits. Even Team sulekha invited us to visit their office for interactions and took notes of our valued inputs.

We build a platform to meet many likeminded friends and in the long run we are all bound to be a family of well wishers. Listening to our heart and expressing what we have been hearing, Connecting with and building community with other people.

Let us build the friendship & fellowship. I personally invite all bloggers to join at Hotel Ashoka, Egmore - Chennai on 13-14th Novemeber 2010. Sulekha Blogger Meet!
