Local guides in India love to host and participate in meetups.
In the past 2 months these were primarily concentrated in Pune and culminating in the Contributors Conversation in Google’s office in Delhi.
Here’s a collection of various badges, cards, stickers, and gift items received by me during the recent meetups.
Remember: Gratitude is the greatest good in human heart.
I acknowledge everyone who have contributed so far.
As labelled, these were gifted by @NERKARAMIT @Raj_Tayade @AjitThite @NareshDarji Bhai, @MerlinThomas @ShailendraOjha and yours’s sincerely - myself 
Of this, the big-hearted and supportive Naresh Darji Bhai shared an entire galaxy of multi-colored stickers and badges that look so amazing:
Here’s some innovative and creative thinking by Amit Nerkar who shared an immigration stamps themed sticker. He also he shared another sticker in the shape of a postage stamp.
The full collection from Amit Nerkar is as below:
The Starbucks merchandise keychain was gifted to me by wonderful Shailendra Ojha.
I can feel the warmth of friendship and affection in this.
It was nicely wrapped, and the unpacking experience was a memorable one
Thanks a bunch, dear Shailendra for the lovely gift 
The glass cup was gifted by Raj Tayade.
This is probably a wine mini-cup or meant for a tequila shot 
I will use it for now to consume honey or liquid jaggery that is available commonly in and around Pune.
Here are some more from Raj Tayade:
Last but not least the amazing gifts shared by Google are an icing on the cake.
These include very high-quality sipper bottle, a multi-pocket utility pouch, a nice Google Maps cap, and a lovely laptop bag.
These are not only Google Maps official merchandise, but the quality is also top of the line.
Here is an array of badges, stickers, bookmarks, and cards shared by Ajit Thite from Pune.
Amazing local guide @Praniketmore lives in a remote place in Maharashtra.
He has lesser resources compared those living in metro cities in India.
But that does not dampen his spirits. Here is his generous collection shared with everyone.
Various other local guides Rohan Mudshingikar also known as Rohan10 on Connect, Ananya Banerjee, Shubham Waman, Merlin Thomas, and Ketan Kangankar have all shared generously with fellow local guides.
Here are some of the recent contributions to the local guides celebrations in India and abroad by Tushar Suradkar of Pune.
Here are some more of the creations and sharing by Tushar Suradkar of Pune
Stickers, badges, and cards made and shared by local guide Tushar Suradkar of Pune for Small Business Support.
Here are some souvenir cards designed, made and distributed by Tushar Suradkar.
Each attendee at meetups gets one of these and they sign it for others.
Local guides then collect such cards as souvenir of the meetup.
The inspiration for the souvenir card is this amazing design by @AdrianLunsong who shared this with attendees at the Tokyo Moderator’s summit.
Here are some more stickers shared or yet to be shared by Tushar Suradkar in Pune:
A huge thanks goes out to Google and all my friends and local guides who showered these memorable items.
More than items, these are memories collected during the exchanges associated with laughter, joy, and the warm feeling of friendship
Until the next meetup…
