Expat Get Together In Bangalore

8POSTS

12 years ago

Hello Everyone I would like ypto start by wishing you a Happy New Year and wish all good things to happen in you lives in this year 2014.

Well I have been members of this woderfull expat community recently but I used to be member of other expat community too in all the countries that I have been and we used to have some meeting or get together monthly or weekly depending of the availability of each of us.

This might be not necessary for some of us but it is actually really important for expats.
Well we are in a foreign country no matter if we came alone of with our familly , what we should know is that we all belong now to a one and a big family called EXPAT COMMUNITY as we are facing the same realities and we are under the same rules applied to every expat no matter the county we are coming from we are all called foreigners.
So it really important for us to meet in atleast once or twice in the month to exchange share experiences and also plan for usefull activities life fund raising for poor people or humanitary purpose.
I can see that other members from others states and cities started those meeting but I have never seen in this website or heard from other member about activities or event.

So I suggest to start thinking about this, I know among us there people good in planning activities I am ready to be part of it I would like to know if you are also ready ?

Ready for your comment and suggestions

Ola,
I see that the topic has just stopped.
I am in brazil now and I will be back to India - Bangalore next month.
I can plan for an expat gathering.

Location : Koramangala - Jimmys Beer Cafe.

I am already part of Couch surfing since long time organizing events.
So not to worry let us take this forward.

what do you suggest guys?

If we can take this forward.. the post about our gathering should be informed in Facebook and other networking sites specially to expats in order that they will find something is happening in this group.

waiting to hear from you,
Dix

I took the initiative a couple of times on this forum but did not get a good response. I am in to participate whenever there is a meet up. Any location in Bangalore is okay with me.

Cheers

Thank you everyone for the interest that you have for this topic it means that there is a real need of those events of hour communicpty here in Bangalore. This is only gonna happen only if we are well organised.
We need to have a commity or group of person elected or appointed or even volunteers who will be able to organise such. Also contact some expereineced event organisers to set up for us dates and place as we will be charged on food and drinks.
So if among us there are people who wanna make so little profit by bringing us together let's see your plans and we decide.

What are u guys thinking about it

We have regular expat meet ups in Mauritius. The last one was on 22nd Feb and we had a crowd of more than 100 expats and locals. In Mauritius the meet ups are on the beach and bring and share theme.
I suggest that we meet at any bar and each one can pay for their own drinks. We would like to keep expat meet ups away from people who want to make money out of these events.

Hi Habib,

I am a Bass-Baritone and perform across Bangalore.
A few of my expat and Indian friends will be meeting at OPUS, VasanthNagar in Bangalore.
A night of music and networking for expats..
We will hold these meet-ups every week on Wednesday across different Karaoke nightclubs in Bangalore.
What better way to chill out after a long day at work than by singing a few songs?
Come on over whenever you're in town....
Inbox me for any queries.

Hi Habib,

!0 of us, expats met at OPUS yesterday and there was a special KARAOKE night honoring women. It was an amazing night filled with wonderful music and a great crowd.

We're planning to meet up every week at OPUS and other nightclubs across Bangalore where we can sit, chat over a glass of wine and network.

Looking forward for you to join us sometime!!!. Do bring in fellow expats when you descend on Bangalore city. You won't regret coming down..:-)

Just pure music, no noise!!

Hey Hasnaa,

The music was mind-blowing..We are meeting up next Wednesday at Opus again.

It was a great mixture of expats from the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia. We chatted leisurely over drinks and snacks.

Cool stuff indeed! Not the run of the mill boring board room or star hotel meet-ups. That's what set this meet-up apart.

Everybody chatted over food and drinks, sang, and those who wanted to shake a leg danced to the groovy beats in the end.

We are meeting up this Wednesday again!! Those who wanna get invited can PM me.

Cheers,
Nash

Thanks for the kind words, Habib!

We plan to work up the magic with the music more often now. The meet-ups are so much more vibrant now than the dull and sullen.
