We meet here every day..don't we ? But web meet is a good idea. But what will web meet achieve which the forum is not able to do ??
ST
No privacy issues, I have met many from TJ and no such issue ever came.Arranging a meet, making arrangements of stay for outside the city guys, arranging hall, audiovisual, lectures, food....takes a lot of organising. I have arranged such meet for other forum so I know...
ST
Then your wish ...i have attended hyd meet up...with your leisure and time we are ready for a meet up....
ya arrangements are a head ache as you said..
one thing is sure that our purpose of shareing learning and earning are achieving ..even we had not meet in person
I agree about the arrangement. I have done things like that for the company I used to work for. Real pain.. no doubt
That's why I suggested web meet because the number of participants will be big. Now question like ST Da pointed out.. what we can achieve that we are unable to from the threads here.. Here are my thoughts.. not sure if all would agree (in that case, put your points please)
- First of all, inspiration. No matter how much a budding cricket learns from Sachin's style. It would always be inspiring to meet him/talk to him even if it means just a chit chat.
- This I learnt from HYD meet. Different people sharing experience on how they come up to where they are, helps. This may be just what the things/methods they tried. If worked, how much it did. If not why etc.
- Lessons from experience. Like one of the things I learnt from ST Da was about 2:30 factor. There is no thread or method for that but I'm sure ST Da shared what he has seen over years of his experience. I'm sure there will be many TIPS type things that can't be thought through threads and will always come from experienced people.
Having said this, I also agree that there are many threads by ST Da, Saint and others which talk about some of these things but a meet only on these points will be very different experience. I would also like to say that I'm not insisting on the meet up in person or Web. It was just a though and all the decisions to go ahead is with the Masters (ST, Pratap)
