A day at Barcamp Pune4

i attended the barcamp for second time. This time it was organized in thoughtworks company, pune. First time i had attended in IIT Powai, mumbai.

On 16th Feb, 2008, I left home at 6.15 am but it took too much time to reach at the spot. and this time i was not only the attendee but was also the speaker at the camp and my topic was "How to create open source IVR using RAGI". I reached at 10 am and the program was already started. Morning slot for speakers was full :(. Only 2 slots were remaining, and . So i got last slot.

Normally people attend starting sessions and after lunch almost many of them left the camp. So i was thinking that whether any people will be present till my session. But guess wat?? people attended my session and i felt very happy for it :). I was having only 30 minutes :( and for first time i was going to speak at such event. But every thing went fine, many of them asked questions and hopefully i was able to answer it. I also made few friends.

In short it was an amazing camp and i have enjoyed a lot. Many people asked me for my presentation. Click here to download it (not uploaded). Many thanks to people who attended my session. Also i request the attendees to provide me their email id. Hope i will receive your mail very soon. :)

My Fav Poem

This is one of my fav poem. My marathi is not so good but i tried to write my best :D


हिवाळा गेला पावसाळा गेला
आयुष्यात खुप आले खुप गेले
पण तुझ्यासारखा कोणी नाही प्रिये ...२...

तुझ्या सहवासात आल्यावर
माझं मन हरवुन बसली..
नकळत माझ्या हाती
माझं ऋदय तुला देऊन बसली...

किती तु गोड आहेस किती तु प्रेमळ आहेस
किती तु सरळ आहेस किती तु मनमोकळा आहेस
मला पण तुला द्याची आहे माझ्या मनाची चावी
कारण तुझ्यापासुन काही दडवायचं मला नाही...
तुझ्यासारखा कोणी नाही प्रिये ...२...

जवळ असलास की बरं वाटतं
दुरवलास की मन अस्वस्थ होतं...
कधी दुर जाऊ नकोस प्रिये...
कारण तु माझा आहेस प्रिये ...२...
