To start with “it was a wonderful experience to meet the other tweetereres who were present at CCD, FC Road” . About 65 people had joined for the Twitter meetup.. I was there at the meeting sharp at 7 pm. About 10 people were already present. Slowly a lot of people had started arriving and at the  end there was hardly any place for people to sit. Thanks to CCD for providing us with a place where we could accomodate our-selves and make us comfortable to have the discusssions.  Vishal and Aman were there to give updates about the twitter meet. There were also people like Hussain and myself who were also constantly giving update about the meet through the mobile web. The mobile phone turned to be helpful in such a case. Various people like Mr.Navin Kabra, Mr. Rohan, Mr.Dhananjay and Mr. Anupam Sharaf (CIO,Pune) were the prominent people who had their views on twitter and how could it be a useful tool for various purposes like business and personal usage. Mr. Sharaf also spoke about how we could make use of twitter to make Pune a better place to live in.

Thanks to the Organisers for the effort and pain they had taken to organise this meeting as it had been really useful for us.

The twit people got featured in Sunday’s Pune Mirror(8th feb ’09).   I did not think that whatever I had told would be quoted in the paper but there is a small error, The newspaper people have mis-spelt my name. Its not as I had epained the spelling of my name to them.

The twitter meetup news was also featured in DNA on Monday (9th feb,’09) and in Indian Express on tuesday (10th feb, ’09)

Over all the twitter meet up was a medium to know more people and have a
social networking. Like I know a lot of people through twitter but this was a place where I could meet those people and know them personally.

- Happy twitting

As I walk along the forever lonely road
Thoughts of you collide in my mind, and I can’t get them out

As I walk along the forever lonely road
My eyes start to play tricks on me, and I believe them

As I walk along the forever lonely road
I try to reach out to you, but in vain.

As I walk along the forever lonely road
I can hear your voice calling to me, and I can’t resist

As i walk along the forever lonely road
I can see you, but I cannot turn around to reach out to you

As I walk along the open road,
Life feels so lonely without you

Sorry for being late in posting my experience during clubhack as my laptop had no net connection.

Well the actual volunteering activity for Clubhack2008 started when I was selected as a voluneer on the day of barcamp pune 5. Thanks to Rohit for giving me the opportunity for serving as a volunteer for the event again just like the previous year. I would also like to thank Rohit for acknownleding me for  the wallpaper of backtrack that was designed by me and also asked me to design some chicklets for the event. The date for the event was 6th and 7th dec ’08. It was really fun to volunteer for the event for the two days. Thanks to Rohit for his support throughout the event. He had ade it easy for us to interact with the speakers through a common dinner where we had the opportunity to interact with most of the speakers. This dinner was on the 1st day of the event so that most of us could attend it. The 1st day was more hectic compared to the second day since all the talks were to be held on the 1st day and the 2nd day only comprised of workshops so the comfusion was a little lesser on the 2nd day, but 2nd day was more anjoyable ’cause we were able to attend the workshop and learn a lot of useful and nteresting things. All the volunteers indeed had played a major role in making the event a successful one. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be a part of the clubhack volunteer team and work for the event clubhack2008.

Happy volunteering…:)

Barcamp pune 5 held on 29th nov’08 was a wonderful experience.. It  was really different this time since it was a “no frills camp”. There was no need for registration, so it was open to everyone.  The event was started by the organisers like Priyank, Rohit, Rohan and Amit and then it was followed by “three word introduction”  as per tradition , so that we could atleast know each other.Then the wall wiki was introduced where each speaker could book their sloughts.The talks started in three parallel tracks since thee were more no. of speakers than expected.. The talk continued for almost 6 hours with different sessions. The talk was followed by a Twitter meet which was attended by almost 40 people who twitter. The Twitter meet known as tweetup was really awsome since we came to know many people who twitter and would’nt have been possible otherwise.

Chicklets designed by me  

Girl when you hold me
How you control me
You bend and you fold me
Any way you please

It must be easy for you
To love the things that you do
But just a pastime for you
I could never be

And I never know girl
If I should stay or go
Cos the games that you play
Are driving me away…

Don’t love me for fun girl
Let me be the one girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love
Don’t love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love

Kisses and caresses
Are only minor tests, babe
Of love turned to stresses
Between a woman and a man
So if love everlasting
Isn’t what you’re asking
I’ll have to pass, girl
I’m proud to take a stand

I can’t continue guessing
Because it’s only messing
With my pride, and my mind
So write down this time to time

Don’t love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love
Don’t love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love

I’m just a little olf-fashioned
It takes more than a physical attraction
My initial reaction is
Honey give me a love
Not a fascimile of

Don’t love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love

Don’t love me for fun, girl
Let me be the one, girl
Love Me For a Reason
Let the reason be love…

I love the lyrics of this song…:)

to watch the video have a look at this 79gE.

Leisure, you are goddess of a by-gone age,
When hours were long and days sufficed to hold,
Wide-eyed delights and pleasures uncontrolled,
By shortening moments, when no gaunt presage

Of undone duties, of modern heritage,
Haunted our happy minds; so, must you withhold
Your presence from this over-busy world,
And bearing silence with thee
disengage  our twined fortunes?
Deeps of unhewn woods,
Alone can cherish thee, alone can possess thee
Your quiet teeming vigor.

Is this our crime..??
That sole condition of all loveliness,
The dreaming lapse of slow, unmeasured time.

Many hours had passed tossing and turning,
No sleeping posture seemed to work,
The stark shadows of loneliness may be haunting my sleep,

May be I don’t want to end the time for studying,
Or the excitement of meeting my beloved makes me restless whole night,
The sadness of separation may be breaking my heart in the nights.

May be the lingering thoughts require more time to plan,
May be the unfinished daydreams are floating before my eyes.

From the field of dreams,I began to think, which way to go
Suddenly a light shone and i thought it was my guiding light
and i should follow it,follow it and follow it.
I did not know whether it would help or not,
but the night seemed to be longer every moment.

But, sooner or later the insomnia disappears,
The fear of sleepless night turns into quiet snoring joy.

Life is like the waves, it has its ups and downs
Life is like a roller-coaster,it has its twists and turns
Life is like a sport, it just depends on how we play
Life is like a game of poker, it just depends on how we are dealt

I wish life could be simple, carefree,
A joyride into the sunset day after day
I wish trouble could be swatted aside like a fly,
I wish my life would be independent,
where at every step I needed no support.

Life isn’t always fair but,
try to live life to the fullest.
Always think positive
and the life will be as you expect it.
