Endless hunger for knowledge


One thing I can tell you for sure. Freelancing satisfies my hunger for knowledge. Varieties of topics, different domains and challenges keep my energy level up. That’s why I prefer to write on diverse topics – molds, fungi, perfume, HIV/AIDS, translation services, furniture, lifestyle, law, traveling, web design and search engine marketing are the topics I am working on these days and I wish to work on more interesting topics in future.

I took my resolutions well in advance

If you haven’t yet understood that I hibernate is all about My New Year’s Resolutions, then let me tell you it is. I would not repeat the same list here again, however, I would like to add a new point here:

I will be promoted (hopefully) to the fifth and final year at Dakshinee, so I need to work hard for the final exam from now. Things I have planned for this:
  • Revise the lessons beginning from the first year
  • Practice the notations taught in the Vocal Training class
  • Go through the book at least 10 times
For all these I NEED TO GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING :(

I hibernate

Enough of running here and there; enough of future planning - now is the time to be calm and quiet and get energized for a busier life. These are the goals for next few months; perhaps next 1 year.
  • Work for Kolkata Bloggers Meet - will write more about this later.

  • Read varieties of books – get acquainted with different writing styles.

  • Write on varieties of topics – apply different styles of writing.

  • Blog vigorously – its important to boost my network, however, I doubt if I will get enough time to blog or not. Sagar (my duplicate) has started capturing the PC of late and he is not at all sparing me. Seems I need a laptop now.

  • Don't think about a new job – job searching is hectic and it consumes lots of time, money and energy.

  • Attend a course – a professional course on mass communication/journalism/technical writing/instructional designing - but only after March 2008.
My readers: please wish me luck so that I can stick to my plans.

Few hours with EMC at Hyatt

EMC Corporation conducted a seminar at Hyatt today. As we had got an invitation for the same; me and Sudipto took a day off from office and attended it. I reached Hyatt before Sudipto and it was raining at 9:50 am in Kolkata. As he expected to be late, he called me to tell ‘go ahead’.

The girl at the Registration Desk was very nice. She gave me a small kit with notepad, pen, some EMC brochures and some forms to fill up. The forms had lot of technical questions in it so I decided to wait for Sudipto as he knows our organization better.

Sudipto rushed to Hyatt Ballroom not more than 5 minutes later than I did. We started filling out the forms; but then someone told us to enter the room as the Welcome Note was about to start.

Mr. O. Rajesh presented the greeting messages. Some topics covered in the seminar are Storing More Intelligently, Backup Recovery and Archival, Compliance etc. I was looking for the Content Management session; however, the concerned person was not there so the session was dropped. We had a good lunch at Hyatt with lots of items that I could not even touch.

I learned a lot of thing today; though our company is not at the position to implement such Storage, Backup or Recovery system; but we may need such infrastructure in future. Moreover, EMC supplied lots of thing to think over. I really enjoyed the session conducted by Smartha Guha Thakurta; he is a brilliant guy and good speaker too. Thanks EMC for such an informative seminar.

Lets share the success



I am really thrilled that a site like SiteProNews has published my article. They were very much helpful from the beginning when I sent the first email to inquire if the topics of the articles are given by them or it's the writer's choice. They gave me a wide domain to write about. I did some research, prepared the articles and sent it and here comes the result. Thanks SiteProNews.

I think I forgot

informing my readers that Web Wings has been a part of iEntry network for last few months. I applied for WebProNews Blog Partnership and after reviewing the blog, they listed it at:
iEntry Blogger List.

Initially there was a typing mistake in my name; once I pointed it out they corrected it promptly and sent me an "excuse us" message as well :)

I really feel proud to see my name on the same page which displays a name like Aaron Walls. Moreover, MyBlogLog report is showing that Web Wings is getting visitors from ientry.com. That’s really exciting!

Beating my own drum

It may sound unpleasant when I beat my own drum; however, I must share my achievements to all of you to ensure that you do not blame me later :grin:

I made a post in WebProWorld forum; the idea triggered when I saw a particular Ad on my blog. Here is the snap:



The best thing is WebProWorld has covered it in their latest Newsletter. I was really thrilled to see my post and my name under the HOT TOPICS tag. Here is a link to the WebProWorld Newsletter for you all.

My press release in prleap

Though I was quite sure that PrLeap will approve the Press Release that I wrote and submitted few days back; still I was feeling a bit nervous. When I turned on my PC in office today, I first checked my inbox and hurray they approved it.

While preparing this release I tried to maintain the guidelines strictly, however, describing a new technical product often sounds promotional which is a big NO NO for press release. That is the only thing I was concerned about! Now I am really happy to see my name beside the news!



Don't forget to digg it.
