Chennai to Banglore a whole new experience
Its been 1 month now since i moved to banglore.
I thought of sharing my awesome experience in Indias largest IT hub.
How i started my journey
Earlier in 2012 I started working with Reduce Data in chennai.The work was really intresting i got a mentor like Asif Ali, and was really enjoying my work.
Initially chennai was good with lots of activities going arround with @chennaigeeks.
But banglore have always been tempting with its super cool climate and offcourse lots of
activities with many geek communities in banglore.
Something that i had never experience before:
I was coming back from my home town @Durgapur in Westbengal(India).It never happened before in train i heard someone explaining about MySql transactions
to his wife. you don't find such companinons specially in trains , Atleast i never got similar co-passengers in my way to chennai , Soon i realized its banglore dude, and an intresting journey is about to start.
Finally @14th dec,13 I was in banglore.
Since my arrival in banglore it had been a crazy journey meeting geeks,entrepreneurs and attending hackathons. Some of my experience are worth mentioning.
#Waartaa
It all started with hacking for #waartaa an Irc web-client as service . I met @rtnpro. he guided me through on learning node and meteor to get-started with #waartaa. Experimented with few new technologies "NodeJs" , "Meteor" , "Mongodb".
#A bit of scraping work with @Rashmi Ranjan Padhy
I was quite excited to meet Rashmi ranjan founder of banglore startups and currently trying to launch his new startup http://techchamp.co .With Rashmi, I started with something offbeat to my previous experience . I started on to scrapping reddit.com and Hacker news with beautiful soup [python]. .Note: Yes offcouse following there robots.txt.
