It gives me immense pleasure to inform you guys about the awesome meetup that took place last Sunday.
First of all I would like to thank 
Hive account@firepower , 
Hive account@sjennon , 
Hive account@shenoy and 
Hive account@varunpinto for making this possible. You guys travelled all the way from Mangalore for this meetup. Thanks to everyone who attended the meetup as well.
A total of nearly 30 people attended to the meetup which was higher than both me and Hive account@firepower had expected. There were some people who didn't have steemit accounts yet and came to learn beforehand. Some had registered but their accounts were not approved yet.
The meetup consisted of an hour long presentation about the various aspects of blockchain and steemit by Hive account@firepower himself. It was very interactive and many steemians had their doubts cleared about the platform and crypto in general.
After the presentation was over, all of us got to talk with each other and take pictures. I met many new faces too.
The guys who made it possible
Hive account@firepower seemed quite intimidating online but when I actually met him he was a very down to Earth and modest person. He was fun to talk to and we discussed various topics aside from steemit. We talked about Dragon Ball Super, Game of thrones and lots of other fun stuff.
It was my first time talking with Hive account@sjennon who was also very fun to talk to. Hive account@shenoy turned out to be the funniest from the group. He is always cracking jokes, in fact he and Hive account@varunpinto had a blast pulling Hive account@sjennon's leg. Hive account@varunpinto is incredibly talented with the camera and for most of the time, he was busy clicking pictures.
It was such a fun experience and now I am even more excited for the next steemfest. Hopefully I would be able to attend it and meet all of you guys there.
All in all, these guys were very friendly and wholesome people. They are they ones that made it possible.
Lastly I would like to request everyone to consider Hive account@firepower as a witness. He is doing a great job by bringing the Indian community together on steemit.
