Another fun Ithaka Readers and Writers meet-up

Another fun Ithaka Readers and Writers meet-up

From hosting first two successful meet-ups at Parimal Garden to now booking an actual café. We are growing.

And honestly, seeing so many of you show up on a Sunday morning was something worth appreciating.

We started our meet-up with casual conversations and sharing agenda.

We did couple of writing activities together. We read what everyone wrote and commented and discussed. Some stories were fun, some were emotional.

The best part? Many who had never written before actually wrote and published on the Ithaka app for the first time.

We connected over reading each other’s stories, shared handwritten bookmarks, exchanged stickers, shared food and had lots of fun conversations.

One of the redditors, who is about to start her online bakery, brought free cookies for everyone.

Most of us stayed till 1 PM, while some stayed till the evening 6.30 talking everything.

It truly felt like a Sunday well spent.

With every meet-up, we are learning, improving, and trying to make next experience even better. Our 4th meet-up will be bigger, better, and even more fun.

Note - Created this profile just to share food pictures. Didn’t notice I can’t change username again and stuck with my real name.

About me -

Born to a happy and healthy middle class family. 2 elder sister both married with kids. Parents retired from job. They wanted me to do govt job. I screwed up my academics (B.E. Computer Engineering) on purpose and went for startup straight out of college. Family offered money to settle and get married in my 20s. I moved to banglore with no plan and no job, doing freelance work and struggled way too much all in the name of learning new things and gaining experience.

Startup(s) didn’t work out so went for a job.

Worked multiple roles. From front end developer to full stack to mobile app to founder to tech lead to design lead to product designer now for south african based company. I earn enough right now. Not too much and not too less. Currently living in Gujarat.

Dream to build successful tech product company one day.

Love didn’t work so tried for arrange marriage. Had bad experiences so stopped looking (i have ranted about it on reddit)

Interests

I love long walks and music. Cinema lover. Love reading and writing. Introvert but won’t ever shy away to express myself and love. Not too religious but believe in energy of Shiva.

Expectations

Same age or younger

Jiske sathe endless bate ho sake

Big plus if you live in Gujarat, have good fashion sense, great smile and foodie.

If you think there is possibility of “forever US”, my dm is open !
