Day 5 of Workshop

Guess today’s turnout of workshop? Its was just seventeen (17) excluding me, Ankur and Anomit. Now the question crops up- “Why so less”? I asked some of the people who attended the workshop itself.

Day 3 of Workshop

So just returned from Day 3 of the Web Design and Development Workshop. Today we started with the core PHP language constructs.

Day 1 of Workshop

9 Things which changed my “Life of Computers”

1) Laptop: This is the thing which doesnt need any more description. Who would not love his/her own laptop. That too when it is a platform for me to learn new things. Imagining running from one room to the other’s friend’s room just to get surf the net or get some knowledge. Having my own [...]

Magically Modi wins without any emotional issues

This surely reflects the changing scenario of Indian politics. Modi has long been accused of using hatred politics and emotional issues for instigating people to garner votes.
