The light discussions and exchange of ideas over snacks / tea.,
Such meet ups are of bygone era in Karachi @KamranAslam / In islamabad @Storm @spectra @rozzzzz used to be active hosts to loop people together, then the bubble punctured.
When things start to get personal based on religion faith and 'social status'.The people start to probe /curious about individuals based on their presence over forum, instead of admiring technical skills and help they can do in real life. That is when the real life interaction of PW members come to an end.
since past many years few of us managed to bond together - source is PW and @HanifBhatti saheb gave us the idea how to avoid / filter and keep poky nosy crowd at distance,.
to discuss ideas this is best virtual platform - everyone can offer input and suggest.
am sure there are select group of people across in every city who still interact / meet enjoy but they seldom share the event over forum.
