Title: Who is going to the conference?
Post by: Maako on October 03, 2008, 01:12:53 AM

Andy and Sharmin, who and who is going to the conference among members from this site?

And everyone else, anyone whose going, please reply, so we know to look for each other and meet up... It would be sucha great pity if we miss each other just coz we dint know to look for someone..

I remember the time i first went to India Delhi for a conference... i knew Shilpa from the site and i was friends with her on msn, we talked regularly.. she knew i was there and i knew she was there as well... but i was searching high and low for a ninokcha (the name she used in msn... how was i supposed to know its not her real name?  :dunno  :rotfl ) and i think she was looking for maako... it was by pure luck we met abt two days before the conference ended... coz we were searching for the wrong people... amazing, we were friends for so long on msn and didnt know the real names...  :rotfl)

Anyway, i dont want that to happen again with anyone else...

soooo..  im attending the conference and maako is not my real name... Imaan Mohamed is and that is a Ms..
believe me, a lot of people think im a Mr.  :huh coz of my name or sumthing i guess.. hehehehe

I wish I were going!  I would have loved to meet you and the others!  Andy will at the conference, and few others.  I hope they reply and that you are able to get in touch with them:) 

Please tell me all about it - the medical and the social aspects of the conference!!

thanks sharmin... it helped and also, Andy already replied via msn... he told me those attending... well those he knew is attending.. like he said, will try to meet through him coz almost everyone here knows him:D

and dont worry, i will try to take as much as notes and make reports back to everyone... I know Andy will too and so will others as well:)...

wish u were going too.. i bet u wud have so many great scientific ideas going on when u hear the medical and scientific stuff being discussed.. which might actually give those specialists and researchers some new perspective:D... who knows right??
