Lukewarm Meeting

So we met. The first meeting of the Trivandrum Writers’ Forum was a low-key, but high-calorie affair.
We thought of meeting at the Café Coffee Day at Kowdiar, but last minute changed to All Spice at Kuravankonam.
We were five of us present, and a few calls promising attendance next week.
I made a brief introductory speech. Tried to share the vision of creating a platform to meet weekly.
They clapped, and we ordered pizza, cold coffee with orange cloud, chocolate fudge, coffee, tea.
Each of us did a self-introduction—dwelt on a brief personal sketch and writing efforts. I believe there is some synergy. I’ve made it clear to them that it doesn’t belong to any individual, but to all of them.
It is a movement. It will gain in momentum and finds its leaders.
This weekend we expect to meet more writers in the city.

Who will despise a humble beginning?
