Random created a Bangalore second meet thread where numbers increased beyond expectation. Poll for day of meet ended up with May 1st at Lalbhag. Giri has taken pain to send mails and sms to all 160 who registered their names in spreadsheet.In spite last moment no from old buddies we never anticipated number will go beyond 100.But it did finally.:clap::clap:
Meet was successfully coordinated by Giri,Sumukh,Adarsh ,Suhas ,T shirt guy(me:D) etc. Till last moment there were discussion about changing to Sunday, Skyisfree and others dropout made us to skeptical about the meet. CG being Valuable member of Edulix miss the meet due to leg injury:( we miss her too. poor CG sis:-s.So Sheon (Edulix associate) with unbeatable 13/0 fully funded admits:clap: and POP (Moderator?:lol:) lure the crowd as well.
Following were the agendas of the forgather:

3) Loan Inquiries and doubts
4) VI process in brief
5) Edulix Air deal (talks in progress)
6) Travel plans??? If time permits..I don't think so this can happen....
7)Edulix T shirt distribution.8-)
Meet was scheduled to begin by May 1st 10.30 am in Lalbhag west gate.May 1st being a holiday and for my surprise I woke up by 7 am.:shock: So I could able to reach the venue early by 10 am. I was wearing Edulix T shirt. Manjunath meet me in two wheeler parking and people recognize me since I wore Edulix T. So same with two girls waiting inside park already and they introduced themselves.We joined a group Ravi etc and wait for others arrival.
Crowd started gathering at venue and by 11 we were almost 100+:shock:. Volunteers lead by GIRI organized the crowd in a place where we had earlier meet.We sat in circles on lan. since there were lots of newcomers an introduction session was a must and started with same. Introduction started with Sheon followed by POP (sorry can't type full name8-)).It has taken 1.30 hour to finish with intro.General Q&A session started from then.
Most question shoot were about which university to choose?. So all queries were answered well by Giri with help of others. Then people segregated University wise.
Cornell was the big group with 9 students heading :clap:. NCSU being second bigger crowd. Rest all discussed about course structure,VISA documentation,Airline deal and shopping. I am for fall 2011 and struggling w/o a company. Finally get in touch with MCE guys and later busy with distribution of Edulix T shirts.
Time was around 2 O clock and people slowly started remembering about meals. We had a group photo and wanted to post in Edulix. We are proud that it was the biggest meet ever in Edulix archives.T shirts for Edulix 2010 distributed among members and we had a snap too.
Finally many people dispersed and rest of us decided to have meals at Barbeque Koramangala.The real fun started here.Nobody other than giri know the route and we followed Auto in busy Bangalore traffic. Finally w/o any trouble we reached BN.We had a great time and itself a big story to explain what happened during lunch.Post lunch some moved for coffee at Moca rest dispersed for their home.
Altogether Edulix Bangalore 2010 meet 2 was a great success. Number of people were almost two times the expectation. We discussed all facts and figures about Admits,final destination,which Uni is better,financial documentation,VISA documentation,AIR line deal and etc. Thanks to Giri and team for organizing wonderful meet. Sheon and Pop being part of meet made it more admirable and meaningful though CG absence was pretty noticeable. Overall special thanks to all those who attended meet and to EDULIX and team for creating such a wonderful chatbot where we trust.
