It was the second Indiblogger meet that I
attended. Like the first, it was an experience of fun and joy, an opportunity
for new friendships and for learning about and from each other. But this time,
there was something more, much more actually. This time, Indiblogger had tied
up with Zindagi, a channel that is bringing stories from Pakistan for Indian viewers.
In this meet, I experienced so many things -
from arts to science, from politics to society, from humour to reality,
everything.
While I myself was very happy and
enthusiastic, I was even happier to see that I was not the only one. The enthusiasm
of people was amazing. They were desperate to show their desire for peace and
friendship with Pakistan. I witnessed the beautiful painted face depicting the
national flags of both countries. To me, the face was painted in the colours of
peace, hope and friendship. Also, this person not just showed his desire but
through his painted face, he tried to connect all for this. He tried to make
everyone realize how beautiful peace and friendship looks.

During the Delhi-Mumbai debate, minds were
exercised and the responses were awesome. The logic of ‘Dilli ki Sardi’ made
everyone cheerful even in the extremely hot weather of Delhi. The logic that
how not only delhites but even mumbaikars loves Delhi opened new horizons to
think about love, to think about connections between cities we live in and this
bond of emotions only help us in becoming more humane, more loving.
The well organized and coordinated meet was
obviously an identity of Indiblogger team.
Nihal, Karthik and other team members did their best to provide
infotainment to bloggers. It was also the team spirit of organizers that
everything went so well and every team member of this task must be
congratulated.
It was a real use of ICT (Information
communication Technology) that Delhi and Mumbai bloggers got connected through
video conferencing and even Sultana ji from Pakistan also got connected. This
connection of providing an opportunity to communicate with each other was not
only a real use of scientific advancement but also worked on hearts of hundreds
who witnessed in living the real objective of ‘The World is my family’.
One could see the excitement of people to
talk with guests from Pakistan (Imran ji and Sultana ji). I realized that every
eye was filled with excitement, with emotion and with passion. ‘Wahi Shaam hai
Wahi Savera….Aisa ye des hai mera, jaisa desh hai tera..” became the most
emotional point when Imran sung it from heart and made all of us so emotional. With
his song, he made a contact with Indian hearts. It was not his personal
connection, rather it became a voice of people of Pakistan when he talked about
similar culture, similar emotions.

The interaction of ZEEL team from Mumbai was
really nice to elaborate how Zindagi came to India. People got to know the
objective of Zindagi and the trailers of these serials touched every heart with
their stories and act.
