Twestival Home

Thanks Indian Express for suppoting the Mumbai Twestival with a lovely coverage. Special thanks to Dipanita Nath of Indian Express.

Here is the Indian Express coverage of Mumbai Twestival:

It’s that time of the year when members of the micro-blogging site Twitter gather offline to celebrate a special festival called Twestival. “People like us, called Tweeps or Tweeple, finally get to see the faces behind the names we have been following. Total strangers become friends or business associates. The best part of the party is that it is for a cause. The funds collected at these gathering will be sent to local charities,” says Abhishek Baxi, convenor of the Delhi edition.

Twestival turns two this year and India has added to the numbers. Last year, the festival was restricted to Delhi and Mumbai, this time it will be held in Ahmedabad, Pune and Bangalore as well. Globally, the festival can be held on any day between September 10 and 13. “The Delhi party is on Saturday, and the charity we’re supporting is the Khushboo Welfare Society which provides care and support to ‘special’ individuals,” says Ashish Chopra of the Delhi Bloggers and New Media Society which is organising the festival.
