[RECAP] - Let's Photo-Walk Together - Aquatic Gallery, Science City, Ahmedabad - TravellerG

Hi dear all,

Ahmedabad Science City Photo-Walk on 10th July 2022 was one of its kind in my life. Though the credit for the grand success of the meet-up goes to all the attendees, this meet-up was made possible by our Naresh Ji in the lead role along with Tejal Chhaya & Tejas Jani supporting him.

From the bottom of my heart (my wife also joins me), I thank each one of you, dear friends for your kind presence & great cooperation.

Photo-Walk:

Mainly due to the noisy environment & shortage of time, we could not conduct a joint-lengthy session on ‘Photography & Google Maps’; instead, we had a 1-to-1 discussion (our dear Kinjal Chhaya was very eager). And yesterday (17th July, 5 pm) we had a one-hour Virtual Meetup which was attended by 9 LGs - the interactive session was very successful & useful.

The Main Meet-up:

Let me provide you with the MAIN [RECAP] of our Naresh Darji - Here”.

We had received the names of almost 25 attendees; except a few, all turned up also - once again thanks dear all. Post the Gujarati lunch, sponsored by Naresh Darji, we proceeded to the Science City, where we spent time almost till 7:45 pm; of course, in the end, the rain was a slight hindrance.

Though I could sponsor the T-Shirts, the idea was shared by our Anil Singh & executed by Naresh Darji - thanks for the same. I am happy that everyone liked the T-Shirt.

The surprise presence of LG Ashish Desai, Jignya Desai & their cute Photographer-son, Dhairya made the session more enjoyable.

Though Falguni could not attend the meetup, her Foodie Bage was a nice gift.

I appreciate & thank our Tejal Chhaya for successfully completing the ‘Accessibility Meetup’ & Anshuk Mitra for organising the ‘Virtual Meetup’ grandly.
