This post has been intentionally designed to make all those of you who did not attend the eighth All India PaGaLGuY Meet (AIPGM) 2011 at Bangalore on May 28 and 29 feel bad about not making it.

We are going to share photos and videos of the biggest and baddest PG meet of all in the rest of this article and make you stamp your fist on the table and exclaim, Why was I not there?”

We don’t intend to act mean, but the hidden agenda (not hidden anymore) behind sounding so arrogant about showing-off the great time more that 80 of us puys had at the AIPGM is to encourage you to attend it next year.

So on May 28 and 29, more than 80 regular users of PG who are either preparing for a top b-school, already studying in one or graduated out of one had one of the awesomest offline meets of an online community known in India. People flew, drove or rode down from Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai, Ahmedabad and more to meet the faces behind the online personas they had come to know well on PaGaLGuY through their journey of preparing for a top b-school admission.

I could go on and on about the cricket matches, mafia games, rain dances by the pool, rock concerts, networking, inspiration-sharing, and the philosophical conversations about life, the universe and everything we had with a bunch of amazing people from across the country including those such as him, but instead I’ll just let the pictures do the talking (click on the picture below to begin the slideshow).

Here’s a video from the little acoustic set PaGaLGuY’s Official Rock Band ‘Suspended’ put up.

And finally, the salsa performance put up by a few talented feet in the PaGaLGuY Headquarters, including Founder and CEO Allwin Agnel.

Super-duper pats on the back for the Bangalore puys for taking responsibility of hosting the event and executing it flawlessly. You guys don’t need an MBA, you’re already great managers!

The PaGaLGuY community thanks the Indus Business Academy at Bangalore and Greater Noida for sponsoring the event and making it possible for us to host the party at a just the right kind of resort for this type of an event.

The AIPGM is held during end-May every year and a is a great opportunity to network with people who you’ve come to know well during your stay on PG. Hope you will consider attending next year!
