An Inside Peek Into the Indiblogger Meet( Gurgaon the 23rd April 2015)


Nautanki Mahal
What can you say about a Smartphone that has it all…perhaps even, beyond all? The launch of the Zenfone2 at Gurgaon on the 23rd May was a big hit! Thanks to Indiblogger and ASUS, most Indibloggers from Delhi and some from as far as Pune and Mumbai had a fantastic time at the launch held at Nautanki  Mahal Gurgaon.


Starting with the delightful introduction by Mr. Jerry  Shen CEO ASUS, and  his heart-touching “Dhanyavads”, on to Mr. Eric Shen Corporate Vice President and Mr. Peter Chang Regional Head ASUS India, we got an in-depth knowledge of the latest  launch from ASUS… the Zenfone2.The icing on the cake however was Robert Jahns, the well-known digital artist and Instagram master who regaled us with the umpteen possibilities of using the Zenfone2 Pixel Master camera.  It was clear that ASUS has managed to bring the incredible to Incredible India. The user friendly features and its extreme technological excellence makes it  a perfect blend of Yin and Yang…..technological finesse and beauty…. be it because of its sleek looks, amazing color palette, ranging from red  to turquoise as well as the ombre range…simply mind-blowing!

Saif Ali Khan
The launch was by Saif Ali Khan. He rose on to the stage on a circular platform surrounded by a bevy of gown- clad beauties in true Nawabi style, to launch this stupendous phone. Famed Bollywood photographer Daboo Ratnani too dropped some pearls about the photographing abilities of the phone.

 The foot-tapping numbers by Aditi Singh Sharma of the “Suraj dooba hai yaron” and “Dhoom 3’ fame, against a backdrop of astounding visuals was completely mesmerizing.

Indiblogger Group Selfie
There was palpable excitement in the air; the energy of the young Indibloggers was evident and heightened by the vivacious anchor Anushka Dandekar whose invitation to all to come on to the stage for selfies with Saif Ali Khan almost resulted chaos, quite adeptly prevented  by  Anoop.

Two lucky winners got a Zenfone2 each for their prompt answers, leaving the rest regretting why they hadn’t answered. There was almost a catfight between two  Indibloggers on how many times each had met/ interviewed celebrities…quite a sideshow for the audience to look on at, bemusedly !Others were busy trying to trace the Troll in anticipation of the Rs/-5000 - reward. Wonder who won it?

Some were dressed to kill. Others were dressed comfortably for a day’s outing at Gurgaon’s  Nautanki Mahal. Some came with boyfriends (in buses which broke down again and again), still others were daughter bloggers with mama bloggers or Mama Papa and daughter bloggers/tweeters having a rollicking time together; few were observed eating only ice-cream during the lunch at Culture Gully…hats off to their commitment  for attending a full-day event while on fast.

 Lots of contacts made and networks widened. There were also face-to-face meetings with many whose blogs had been admired online so far.Everyone had a fabulous time and clutching their ASUS goodie bags full of T-Shirts and Sefie Sticks, left the venue smiling, looking forward to another such meet soon.
