Barcamp Hyd @ Google

An interesting incident happened this time

Thyagy & me reached the spot a bit late (as usual) and joined the queue at the Security gate to  get pass. Only when i said to Thyagy to get ready with the company ID card, i realised i didnt bring it (as usual). Luckily ADP gives a small card that i kept in my purse, so i took it and said 'hey heres' my ADP card'. I heard a voice from behind

X: Are you from ADP?

Me: Yes, how abt you?

X: No, I worked for ADP long back

Me: Oh, nice meeting you, so where do you work now?

X: I dont work...    I earn by blogging and live blogging

Me: Oh, so are you like Amit Agarwal? (wondering how many people started like Amit but the reply i heard was a little shock, probably now a simple guess for you)

X: I am Amit Agarwal

Me: (oh my god, am i speaking to Amit, the first professional Indian blogger) Nice meeting you Amit (at the road)

 

and thats a least way you expect to meet the celebrity of the day :)

Infact apart from getting goodies :) my interest to go to the camp lied in attending his presentation on 'how to blog with google adsense'

Amma Kolam

The best and the worst things happens so close to me with almost immediate in one following the other :)

Whats the best thing happened in the pongal holidays?

I took snaps of my mother's beautiful kolam , she drew on each day of pongal festival and uploaded in flickr

[ Kolam - is a decorative design drawn in a variety of sandpainting using rice powder by female members of the family in front of their home. A Kolam is a sort of painted prayer -- a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots.] (Plural: Kolangal)

She makes her best artistic vision in designing the kolam in notebook to making it real in roads.

and whats the worst followed.... my system @ home gone down, making her not to upload her latest ones :(

I just assembled it not even a year ago (The story of my sweet PC)

Nevertheless i am happy to see my mother's beautiful kolangal in the web :)
