On the 14th of October 2011, Citizen Matters organized a meeting of several of the writers who contribute to the magazine.

And along with Padma and Meera, Subbu moderated the meeting, and elicited responses and inputs of various kinds from the authors.

Battling rush-hour traffic on the way home was one of the costs of the meeting…but meeting, and putting faces and personalities to the various names on Citizen Matters …was a big reward! Thanks to Subbu, Meera, and Padma for organizing the meet.
