Fail camp

Was at fail camp sterday and my thoughts thereby...

I had a pretty busy last week and hence was not very keen about going out on a sunday to a unconference!!! to discuss serious stuff like failure n all...especially since the event was to start at 9.00. But then somehow decided on attending the thing...told wife on the saturday evening that i have to get up 7.30!! must have seen the look on her face she was like "after a busy week u wanna get up at 7.30 on a sunday n go to some conference".

Made it to the fail camp and as with bar camp 2 the even was cool. The people were cool the food was nice the venue nice and the best part was our host Kumaran,CEO of 10th planet was one hell of a guy. Wish i could peep into that brain of his.... well i have a relatively small social circle and hence may be this might sound exagerated but at 35 he has such clarity of thought and idea.....mind blowing.

The whole thing about all these events is U get to meet some remarkable people, in fail camp i met quite a few of those. One ofcourse is Kumaran. Then there was Suresh of Orangescape...again great knowledge and understanding of technology business in general. Kalyan of Quads group, apart from being one of the event sponsors he was also a young enterprenuer....though there were some things on which I could not connect with him but still he is a impressive guy.

There were quite a few others like the cool graduate student cum Enterpreneur....who is facing extra ordinary challenges and confusions. I just loved the guy (and iam straight :-) )....

and ofcourse as always there is the Kiruba factor to all these meets and events....he has a way of making the whole setting and environment so confortable and free flowing...something very special and unique about him. Great chap and a wonderful organisor....hats of to U...and thanks on a Sunday well spent.
