IndiBlogger.in is close to my heart. Whether it's the competitions they host, the meets they organize, or the innovative thoughts of the organizers, I love being a part of it. When I received a special invite for the #BergerXP meet, I registered instantly, expecting the meet to be fun.
On Saturday, my wife Vidhya and I arrived at The Lalit Ashok Bangalore around 12 PM. Leo and Vidya were already there. It was great to see them again after almost six months. Soon, many other bloggers joined us - some familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones. Since I was wearing a mala for Sabarimala, I restrained myself from interacting with people. However, as more people arrived, I started chatting with them.
The meet began with a heavy lunch - I only had vegetarian options - followed by the registration process. Anoop greeted me with a huge smile and we hugged. Renie was looking for "Someone Special," also known as Sarav, and upon seeing me in my new avatar, he was surprised. It felt like being at home. Of course, for a blogger, IndiBlogger.in is like home.
My wife was a bit nervous because she was unable to register due to technical problems. Once Aaruhsi and Anoop helped us complete the registration process, she was happy.
Anoop, the man behind the microphone, invited Karthik to lead us in some exercises. It was fun and I captured a video of it. The balloon game was especially entertaining - Karthik, you are an awesome man with your moves.
When Chandra took over, he spoke about BergerXP, its tools, and innovations. Unlike other presentations where presenters focus only on the AIDA model, this was a refreshing change. He spoke about innovation, next-gen tools, and Express Painting. Faster. Cleaner. Better. It was fascinating and kept me engaged until the end. I tweeted some memorable one-liners during the meet and created a story using Moments...

If I miss to talk about the tools then it would be a crime. Let me first tell you the names and its features, followed by a TVC made by #BergerXP.
If you're planning to give your favorite home a makeover, use #BergerXP Express Painting. I'm saying this only after experiencing it. Actually, we were asked to team up to perform a couple of activities. Given the choice to select five people for my team as the lead, I spoke with Debolina and Nalini and they agreed to be a part of my team, and Leo and Vidhya were already on the team by default. Initially, we were given a challenge to smooth out a rough wall with putty. We did well. It was more of a test of our patience and to convey the hard work that painters put in. Think about how many times we've said, "What kind of work are these painters doing? They're not even doing their job properly." Trust me, it's hard work and these people do it with a real passion to give your wall the look you desire.
The second set of activities was to paint on a theme and then present it. Guess what, we found our new lead in Aakriti. Her enthusiasm for sketching is unmatched and I see a future IndiBlogger in her. I've always loved sketching and painting, but I never seem to give myself enough time to do either. This meet gave me the opportunity to paint, and along with my team, I was able to fulfill that desire. If I recall correctly, the last time I sketched was in 2013 for an IndiBlogger Character Contest. And this time, too, IB helped me paint once again. I wish I could paint more, but reading and writing give me a good work-life balance.
We then took the Mannqinn challenge and trust me, it was a lot of fun. Once it was over, we took a group photo and retired for the day after collecting the most precious t-shirt (thanks to the sponsors, who allowed IB to print it without their name) and a gift hamper from BergerXP. Since I forgot to bring my bag, I went back inside only to be video interviewed. Thank you, IB Team, for the opportunity.
It was a fun-filled day. Thanks to BergerXP and IndiBlogger for organizing such a wonderful meet instead of just boring talks. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all again. If I win a chance to have a wall painted by BergerXP, I'll write a detailed review about it. For more info visit www.bergerpaints.com and also watch Express Painting Success Journey
