Edulix is a premier site for scholars.People from various states of India and outside India gather here online and discuss about Masters/PhD in USA and other countries. I am active member of Edulix participate in most of the activities and get involved in profile evaluation,chat,edulix cafe and so on.

Edulix being established more that 5 years ago continuously conducting city meets. Discussions about admits,facts and figures ,actuarial,post MS job etc during meet.This year we had two Bangalore meets. later being biggest meet ever in Edulix and I witnessed the meet.

Meet was well coordinated by Girish and team and as per mail notification it was scheduled to begin by May 1st 10.30 am in Lalbhag.May 1st a holiday and for my surprise I woke up by 7 am. 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. Both works for IBM.

Crowd started gathering at venue and by 11 we were almost 100+. 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 is a must we thought and started with same. Introduction started with Edulix associate and a unbeatable 13/0 profile holder Sheon followed by moderator POP (sorry can't type full name).It was almost 12 when we finished with intro and general Q&A session started from then.

within no time people started segregating University wise groups. Cornell was the big group with 9 students heading. 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.
