Okay, so it was one fine day I remember vaguely that I somehow got to know about an interesting site called as ‘meetup.com’. I was amazed to find the innumerable clubs around that made me hooked to the site and kept looking for more.
The reading and writing enthusiast in me stumbled upon this clan called as the ‘Write Club, Hyderabad’. There is this amazing lady – Sravanthi T who is the admin of the group and manages to conduct meets regularly on Saturdays here in Hyderabad. I somehow made it to the meet for the first time yesterday at Banjara Hills.
A hot evening again with not-so-surprising absence of power and we have few people already up for the meet. Being a first timer, I felt a bit awkward and reserved as I hardly knew anyone there. There comes Sravanthi who carries an unbelievable awesome aura around that helps everyone around get the feel of a writer’s mind. We were around 13 in the bunch. The session was hosted by a pretty lady, Susan. And then we were a mix of IT professionals with myriad experiences, teachers, research scholars, actors, editors and the like. Definitely, a healthy mix of individuals from differing backgrounds.
The Write Club has a host who puts up a theme for the day and each one of us have to prepare a write up based on that in an hour or so. Post this, we all start reading around with our plots and critique on the same. An interesting lady there echoed with the purpose of this club – making each one of us write about genres we are not even familiar about. That’s how the different flavors of writing within us gets the going. Everyone with a different perspective puts up his/her thoughts and that’s so good to hear. Such distinct styles of writing.. Wow! ๐
Some were humorous on their parts, some had excellent story lines that related to their background somehow and some went back in time to reminiscence the old golden days.
Overall, a nice and interesting experience. This would definitely help evolve the writer in me!
P S – Check out the club at Write Club, Hyderabad!
