During the Delhi Mega Meetup, something truly special happened. One of the most senior and respected Local Guides in our global community, @TravellerG, took a candid photo of me — and to my surprise, it turned out to be the best photo of mine ever taken!
This is the true beauty of being a Local Guide — it’s not just about contributing to Maps or sharing reviews, it’s about the connections and moments we create together.
I have long admired TravellerG, whose contributions are celebrated not only in India but across the globe. Meeting him in person was already an honor, and though I knew he was an excellent photographer, I didn’t have the courage to ask him to click my photo — simply out of respect for his seniority.
To my utmost joy and surprise, sometime after the event, I received a message from him on WhatsApp — he had clicked a photo of me during meet-up and decided to share it with me. I cannot express how grateful I felt. That one gesture made my day, and honestly, that photograph remains very close to my heart.
And today, I’m happy to share that very picture with you all!
Thank you so much, TravellerG Sir, for this priceless memory.
