BlogCamp - A Blog UnConference!

September 02, 06 by Bharani

BlogCamp India

Few days back, while I was watching the CNN-IBN’s program called “Chennai Chutney”, I came to know about BlogCamp. My eyes and ears were fixated on the Television! Blogcamp is a very nice concept to bring passionate bloggers together and to facilitate sharing of stories, experiences, techniques, trends and innovation related to blogging.

I am very eager to join and meet some of the prominent bloggers…but the work schedule for next few weeks and the unexpected 10-days-sick-leave that I just spent has depleted my freedom for sometime…

Some of the topics lined-up are mouth-watering. I hope they will update the website with summaries of these topics. The website also provides a brief description of the bloggers. The list facilitates one to identify blogs pertaining to one’s taste.

Wishing good luck for the event…I will follow the event through the live feed: Thanks to the Pod-casting and Videocasting team!

Bhaxanis!

September 01, 06 by Bharani

The name “Bhaxanis” sounds like the name of a supermarket or some business chain?

No, It’s the latest term that I coined, which is specific to my Business Unit. We have 3 people in our team with similar sounding names. Bharani, Bhawani and Bhabani! Except for the middle letter, rest are same. So, Bhaxanis!

As if the similar names are not enough, all 3 of us sit in the neighbouring cubicles! So, If someone calls one of our names, all 3 of us turn our heads…because it sounds similar!

Our seating positions, when joined together, will complete a triangle. I am from TamilNadu, Bhawani is from UP and Bhabani is from Orissa. Join all three states…you will see the triangularity!

Crazy coincidence!
