After I reached, I waffled around for a bit networking with buddies like Ranjeet, Skyn3t, Vivek and others, and finally settled down to watch a very nicely made realistic documentary on life in Mumbai slums. When asked for "how much do you spend on entertainment in a day", while 1 person replied 10000 (i kid you NOT), others varied in the range of a daily expense of 300 - 400 per day incl travel and food, while the kids in the video barely had a hundred for a week. So in return of buying the pack of 7 short films, the company that made these movies gets paid a bit for making them and airing them, and the rest goes to 7 NGOs who contributed their research to make the movies! Will share the link with you when I find it!
After that there were mmultiple presentations on how a blog was created and finally led to marriage, and another one about social causes! Hardik presented on Windows Live Writer which i will start using now for my multiple blogs!
My brother, who is writing a fiction manga based 400 odd pager thingy was also there to gather inspiration and network! Catch his fiction on his blog HERE and his personal blog HERE
I missed my wife, Dhanashree at the event and so did the others, and especially when I was talking about Tata Jagriti Yatra to the audience at the Blog Camp!
Thanks to the unorganisers for a chance to attend and speak! Thanks to Vivek Khandelwal of VoiceTap for the help in presenting TJY :)
