I’ve started going to Meetups (via Meetup.com) about anything vaguely interesting looking (especially the non-technical ones). I think it’s good to get out and meet new people, and talk about things which don’t involve programming or technology for a change.

Hit me up if you want a Bangalorean perspective on how to deal with the city.
I live in San Diego now and have been out of touch with the most recent developments, but I’m sure the city is still the same at heart.
