I visited the first BarCamp a year back and it was like a waking call for me… It got me back into the entrepreneur mode once again… I been hybernating for a looong time! It was by chance i came to know about it happening at IIT Mumbai. Was amazed to see the spirit among the new entrepreneurs and the entire eco system around startups!

I took active part in organising the IIIrd Edition of Barcamp and now We are back with the IVth Edition which is gonna be bigger then before! Its a 2 day BarCamp! There is lot of young blood involved who are running around to get things in place with lot of help from old timers like Netra, Arpit, Thakkar, Asfaq and others…

So be there on 4th and 5th Oct 2008 at IIT Mumbai for the IVth Edition of BarCamp.

Bangalore – Sept 2008

September 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I was really excited to go to Bangalore… Main reason being i was going away from everything and i needed that break badly! Another reason i was going to Bangalore after 13 years 4 months!

The airport Gate 10 now sportsĀ  swanky utvi lounge where one can sit and work on the laptop comfortably… The flight to Bangalore was un eventful as always… The Bangalore airport is nice! Loved the ample space they have once you step out… One thing which i liked was the choice of transport available for one to reach the city or any part for that matter… There are Volvo bus services which leave every few min…

The weather was fantastic… The ride to the city was nice… the first few min reminded me of the drive from abu dabhi airport to dubai…
